They are stil in my thoughts

I am so happy you had a good experience. It is wonderful news.

You are not failing widowing. Your so called friend is despicable. Hang on Hon xx

Best of luck to you. Ive had some wonderful counselors in my past and a fantastic grief counselor. They aren't all great. Give it some time but if the person seems off get a new one. I hope it is a healthy and healing endeavor.

I lose it and find it periodically. Im actually a very empathetic type . I have to save my energy for the big stuff I think. It is exhausting.

Seems doc Neill Neill is a hack hack

Sounds like you're ready to make some changes. Start small and immediate. Things you are sure of. Then build on that. There is no race. But it sounds like you wish to stretch. Good luck. Take your time.

Safe travels, sounds like a nice balance.

Ive moved twice. Both were down sizes. No regrets. Change is scary but often necessary. We will be here to support you.

Always

These are the types of things that make my head explode .

I'm pretty sure we have MissingSquish as a probable ? Let us know how you would like to coordinate food etc when you're ready

Thinking of you today

Thank you for coming on to post. sending you all the best as you honor and remember Jim.

Sending you my virtual support

Sending support and good vibes

Heart beaking Jen. I am so very sorry.

I feel a strong emotional attachment to anyone who was close to him but it was never romantic. It is ok to have feelings. Just keep your head. You don't mention if he has shown attraction.

Thinking of you. Ive moved twice since widowed and I had a ton of help. It was still very overwhelming and exhausting.ni hope you can unwind soon

I think it is really healthy to acknowledge and identify your fears and discomfort. I don't have any magical words. Just want to wish you well and suggest you be gentle with yourself.

I spent the first few years always judging where I was, how I was doing, and wondering if I was ok. I prefer to discuss my grief with people who really get it. you're not going to feel good about yourself if you take your advice and measure your progress from people on Facebook. I got sick of my grief too. I remember when I got sick of crying in public. grief can be so inconvenient and messy. Please be gentle with yourself

Thanks for the update Maureen. SR I have been so concerned. You were already in my prayers and remain

Thank you for your opinion. Im not sure if you saw the flame building before the unkind comment.in my opinion the whole thing was best gone from the Flaming comments building before the unkind remark. And none of it made much sense with the original info already edited. There wasnt just one person going too far I refer everyone to the code of conduct. Thus is your forum. Go ahead and post red flags, sti education etc.

I deleted an abusive comment after The thread was beginning to flame. The original poster already edited her original post saying she over shared, it was starting to flame. I asked people to give it a rest. Then came the abusive comment aimed at the original poster. I made a post explaining the thread was locked at the moment and why. I left it up to the original poster whether to keep locked, unlock or delete the thread. It was locked until she got back to us. It was her decision. Under the circumstances a wise one . We get constant complaints about posts that do not violate the code of conduct and are left untouched. I really doubt anyone wants to go back to having admins and mods who ignore abuse and flames. The orginal post had already been edited, she made the call for me to delete it. It is her history not ours if she regretted the thread she has the right to have it removed .
