Skully,
First, thank you for your kind words...
I won't go into anything on this board, but would love to hear from you privately. My edress is:
[email protected]What I will say to you here, is that regardless of what you may read or be told, every situation is different. I know that when my son died, I heard the most awful things coming out of my FRIENDS mouths, and they meant well. "Are you OK?","He is in a better place","He isn't in pain any longer","You need to move on"..... etc etc My best friend even said to me "yeah, I know how you feel, I felt like that when my Dad died".... (What a stupid comment!!!) So seriously, arch your back and prepare for these things....
And to everyone I say.... Love those around you totally, completely and unconditionally for as long as you can. Thanksgiving is a great time to start if you don't already....
