carolynne said… Rooger, I'm so sorry for the loss that brings you here, but glad you've found us. The groups are really helpful, you'll talk to people in similar circumstances. The chirping noise you hear is chat...the window is in the bottom right of your screen. I hope to see you there sometime and get to know you, and I hope you'll find the same support and understanding that I have.
