Our Cup of Coping Mechanisms


I can read Sylvester's mind today. She's thinking, "The kids are gone now. I cried with mommy lady when she said goodbye. They won't be back for almost 3 months. Will licking the remaining mint ice cream in this cup heal my broken heart?"


"I'll just taste a little around the edges and see."

"It's pretty good. I'll dig in and hold onto this brief moment of frozen, minty happiness."

"Hey mommy lady, the ice cream was good... but I'm still sad."

Me too, princess. Me too.
