"I echo everyone's sentiments. For a while I considered going to a group - just to gauge where I was based on everyone else around me. I spoke with my Priest and he told me that if "I" felt like I needed to, then go right ahead. If…"

"LadyDi - I am/we are so sorry for your loss. Right now you're not in any shape to do much of anything. At 3 weeks I am pretty sure I was a ball of mush. I am fortunate that I have dogs that I had to take care of so each day I…"

"Lori, You will sleep. It happens. And unless you have work or kids to be alert for...then it's inconvenient but not pressing.
Crew5 and cookie, sorry you're here but glad you found us.
We get it. Really, we do.
Peace,
Sue"

Petal said… sueprnova - I just sent you a friend request but I would also like to send you a private message. I think we have to be friends to do that. I'm not very good with this site. Hopefully you will approve my friend request and I can ask your opinion on something. Thanks!!

Arnie (New Normal) said… So sorry we have to meet this way, I am Arnie from NJ and offer friendship and a ear when needed. I do not write much but love the chat feature so I hope to see you there. My losses are many in short times, a 19 yr old son, a wife of 21-1/2 yrs, a Dad and BF wife all in span of less than 7 months, new and very deep but I have found an amazing place of comfort and healing, this place has been a big part of it. The rest of my "healing" is for private conversations. Just wanted to say Hi and welcome to the club no one wanted to belong to.
Love and hugs for my new friend
