Grief

Sorry, but hope purging will help

My friend
My friend has always suffered with depression for over 25 years. When my son died 9 years ago she saw how I was suffering and said..... to think at times I did not want to live and now I see the reality of what you are going through. MY friend got married shortly after and I did not see her for 9 years; by then s... 11 Mar 2007 22:17

Great map of the grieving process
I was going through the alt.support.grief FAQ making sure that all the links still work, and came across this: http://www.elizabethharperneeld.com/grieflarge.htm It's an illustrated map of "the path" from "life as it was" to the "new normal". *Not* a straight line! *Not* a clean series of "steps" either. ... 7 Mar 2007 12:35

Well,
you may find this interesting........ As some of you know, my daddy has been gone since 7-8-01, and momma 18 months later, so I had no other blood relatives, being an only child.. Anyway, my brother-in-law passed away last may, and it's been a struggle. However, something has come of it.... Roger, my brother-i... 8 Mar 2007 07:37

Good days & Bad days
I feel sure everyone experiences good days and bad but lately I've had several bad ones. I lost my mom last July unexpectedly to a heart attack. I've had the common things of not being able to accept this and being unable to believe what happened. But lately, I've been unable to do much of anything but sleep!! ... 5 Mar 2007 15:29
