an the littlest ones were cryin' within. Usually it happens in the grocery store but this time it was in the car. When we realized what was happening were able to console sweet little ones by asking what was happening for them and again saying softly: "sh sh sh sh" and little humming sounds.

...then when going to the store there was a mommy and an irl baby and the mommy was comforting the baby in the same way. It was a really new baby. The cries of a new baby are pretty familiar. We know them from listening inside and outside.

...then we realized our little ones that were cryin' had stopped and all the gentle self-soothing had calmed them/or at least one down. We welcome them when they arrive in the forefront now. Before it was just so confusing.

...that's all...just doin' all I know how.

bye for now.

Thanks for sharing.

I know that feeling of crying within, it's a particularly awful feeling.

Well done with the self-soothing.

Many hugs to you (((((((((( Hunny ))))))))))

Thank Pegs,
You know it. It took us a little by surprise due to the location. It is prevailing within till first we acknowledge her or them (it is sometimes difficult to say, it could be two or even more). It took a few guesses and then when we realized it was her or them we just consoled. Other than tears there is no dialogue with someone that young. So, yes, it's all we know to do and so far seems to work.

I'm sorry you know of this too. It is quite sad when we think about it but sometimes we just don't, think about it, that is, and then after soothing realize it was a need or something...sigh.

Thanks again.

Thank you for sharing I am still dealing with it to. Just tell all within we send safe stuffies and blankies to make all those within feel safe and warm from all of us to all of you.

Thank you for the stuffies and blankets, Anderson.

The inner children get very excited about Christmas and presents, the teens worry about not looking fake when they receive a gift and remember about all the drinking that went on at this time of year, the adults are trying to maintain some balance within and without and manage the finances while enjoying the idea of gift giving and times with current family. The spiritual parts/alters are reminding us to 'keep the focus' on the deeper meaning of the Christmas Celebrations, the good IRL relationships , and the fact that Joy is 'okay', along with Peace and Love.

We learned again from church last week that Love is messy sometimes, not all you know, polished etc, kind of like being born in a stable/cave instead of a sterile hospital or spiffy clean home with all the fufurough...some of us would rather look at stars than lights but you know the inner children love the lights!!! You certainly cannot call this inner life dull, lol

I appreciate you sharing this...Sometimes I am not sure what it is...I just get an over whelming sadness...I don't hear any sadness or wont yet connect or can't connect to it yet? Maybe never but tears come, then I reach for my blanket's if I am home and my stuffies....This just makes me think what if? Maybe not but I appreciate how things can work and why some things work...Your very gentle with your system Thank you for sharing this...

Kalisha,

You know it too, we understand and say how we see how you find how important it is to let them all come out in their own time. Like trying everything to comfort the baby till, ahhhh, at last, she is sleeping...

Sweet comfort to all of you Kalisha...a safe hug back
