United in our Grief Forum.

There's absolutely no need to apologise. I basically just wanted to tell you what a wonderful idea this was. Sometimes one can share one's innermost anguish with those one doesn't directly share emotions with, people that aren't aware of one's daily mask! That later those very 'stranger's become friends, and then even 'family' is one of God's greatest blessings!

I have met many here on WDC who are now a part of my real life!

So, thank you friend for your outstretched hand!

I have lost both parents and one child, not recently, quite some time back. But I can honestly say there is no pain anymore, it hasn't been there for quite some time. The sense of loss is there, but one always knew that the journey was not going to be without changing companions.

It actually helps that I am solitary by nature, yet having learned to reach out, the very fulfillment of that reaching out has prevented me from feeling much grief. I like to do random acts of kindness for anybody with whom I interact - I find that more my line than organized charity, although I do support that anonymously.

In the end, we all find our means of coping and your group/forum seemed to me as one shining beacon of strength!

God bless!
