Hi, Bailey, I'm sorry you are finding it necessary to be here, a place
nobody *wants* to be.
Here is a link to our Frequently Asked Questions post:
http://tinyurl.com/6pw6ub
Some background information about us is in the FAQ.
I found my way to this newsgroup after my mother died suddenly of a
heart attack in June of 2000.
Sometimes the traffic here is a lot more active -- around Christmas
and Mothers' Day for example -- and sometimes it takes me a while to
read and respond. But by and large this has been a good place and I
continue to believe in the newsgroup.
Your grief is as unique as was your love for the one you lost. Your
journey is yours -- don't let anyone tell you that you are on the
wrong path or the wrong timetable, because this is a journey where we
carve our own path, create our own map, and there is no timetable.
This grief thing takes however long it takes, that's all. We just try
to do what we can where we are with what we have each day.
There is hope. Things change. We change. There are ways to be true
to our love without letting go of our memories and without dropping
out of society entirely. But it takes time and effort, and some days
it's going to feel like it's just too much ( like me here lately,
three years after losing Dad to cancer).
Wi****ng you peace and happy dreams,
--
