I can relate to being terribly hurt by beauty when you are apart from your child. I lost It in a supermarket over cherry tomatoes once. They were just so cheery. And I was far away from my little boy.

It is an old trick to look at the moon together each night. When you are apart you still have the habit of looking at the moon. You know the other is as well. So you are still on the same planet looking at the same sky. Not apart at all.

Skype works too.

I'm guessing the totally alone and unconnected feeling is a very young feeling. I don't even know anymore what they say to do about those. Some people can sit with them and bear the pain until It breaks and they feel relieved. Others seem to get lost or swamped. I think physical work or exercise eases It. Or visual art. I don't know what is safe for early trauma.
