Last night, as I mentioned previously, I awoke and couldn't sleep, thinking about my daughter and her family (husband and 6 year old twins) moving to Turkmenistan. I am so grateful for all the loving feedback I've rec'd here. I truly have no one to talk to about this, and so PC is my refuge for such concerns.
I've spent some time looking at websites describing the area to which they are moving, and it actually looks like it could be a grand adventure for them. They are excited about this. I called my daughter and talked to her again this evening, and we had a good conversation. They are going, so I will have to live with this.
Also, I have to mention, that I have abandoned my spiritual life in the past 4 years, and I was touched by some of you mentioning this as a resource for strength and comfort. I think it was/is these sincere responses, including the ones offering spiritual comfort, that has made the difference in my attitude...allowing me to relinquish the anxiety I was feeling.
Thanks and love to you all.
