If you had to choose just one day.....

I think for me it would be to relive one of the days that we spent at the New Jersey shore. My husband's parents had a house there on a lagoon with a boat in their back yard. We would go down there on weekends through the summer often accompanied by friends and enjoy watersports there. Those were really fun times.
 
I would have to say the day my son was born. It was an emergency Csection. I only heard his Dad yelling it was a boy. Then they knocked me out. I did not even get to seem him. They thought there might be problems and did not want me moving around or freaking out, just in case. I did not see or hold him for about 4 hours. The most important meeting in my life, I missed..

Please don't take that to yourself. I think everyone who has been through that experience takes it as some kind of failure on their part. It might be good for you and @Ronni to talk. Seems to me you both are suffering so much from your loss. I think if a person decides that this is the best decision for them, no one can stop them.

Their intent is not to hurt you but to end whatever suffering they are experiencing. They just did not have the strength to reach out for help. Even if they had thrown red flags in your face, they would have not accepted help from anyone. They would have followed their own minds. Plenty of people have been put into care that did not solve the problem. To me, this is a mental illness that does not have an easy resolution for anyone. Now is the time that you seek therapy to learn it is not your fault.

I feel for you SD 🤗 because I was in the same postion with my mother. if I hadn't gone to stay at my friends' house that night, ( the one and only time I'd gone) she wouldn't have been alone, and I would have prevented her taking the Overdose of pills....

However I had to check myself because this is NOT a do-over thread where we can change things...it's a thread asking which day we'd like to relive again..that's to go through the same thing again...something perhaps we enjoyed...or occurred for the first and only time..etc
