Hey Punkin, I have gotten stress-related illness before too. It's amazing the power of the body to create illness. But guess what? That means there is also an inverse relationship. The body has just as much power to create healing and nurturing.

For you this means: you will probably stress yourself out incredibly on the days leading up to "the day", but....

You will sail through it as your body will carry you through the worst with dignity and poise and calm.

I have no doubt about this. And even if there is a moment you "lose it", that's only because that is your body's way of storing that energy to handle it all right afterwards.

You're a rock, Punkin. I don't know you in person--I might never meet you face to face. But there is no doubt in my mind, from your posts, that you are one of the strongest women I've ever encountered.

When you doubt yourself, we do not doubt you.
