Dealing with Loss

Last night as I go to pick up the young lady I have been working with, I notice that she is crying.
I find out that one of babies in the house has been placed with a foster family in Tuscon.  She will be leaving today.  Exciting news for this little one, hard news for those who have seen her grow and helped take care of her for the past year and a half.
This may not be the loss due to death , but it is loss do to separation.  It can have the same affect.
These kids deal with this continually.  One person moves in, they are there for a while then they are gone.
When this is all you know, some get numbed by the process and feel nothing, the lucky ones feel every hurt and learn  that loving people is okay even when we don't have them around.

hard stuff to deal with at a young age.
