YR - no I never felt that you thought we were failures, I just meant that we all feel like failures at times. All of you who have experienced a degree of reconciliation have been so gracious to those of us who have not. What I was trying to say that sometimes in our own heads we all feel failures, relative to others, but we should not.
We don't feel strong most of the time, but there is nothing else to do but keep keeping on, and gradually it gets better.
