Parent,
I can relate...when I detached I became numb. When I fully accepted the sorrow and the tears went away.
Then I had to work on finding the laughter and the joy in life. Believe me it is there.
I would be more concerned with my lack of joy and seek that out. Gratitude is a fine place to start...make a list everyday. As hokey as it sounds it is a beginning.
Hugs,
JT
