Glad to be friends on here now and look forward to communicating with you.  I don't know much about this site, either, but come on and read posts and blogs and find it helpful in some way.  Hope you're having as good a week as possible.  After my difficult weekend, I'm feeling a bit better - but felt on the verge of a panic attack for a good part of today...don't know exactly why but these things happen from time to time and I'm learning to roll with it for the most part.  Overall, however, I feel like I'm doing a little better all the time and that's encouraging to me.  I hope the same will be true for you.  Take care.  Bests, Lynne

Hi Donna, I too am a pediatric nurse, have 2 teenagers at home, one of which is graduating this June and lost my husband of 29 years  jan29 of this year and feel we have a lot in common and can truly relate. I also live near you and have only recently joined this site looking for support. Hearing from others helps me feel not so alone. I have some close friends but feel I'm overburdening them with my grief, which  they probably don't understand seeing none of them have lost their life companions. I usually speak with them on better days as on the bad days I don't want to talk to anyone. Hopefully  we can help each other on those days.

Welcome to this site and wish that it was under very different circumstances, of course.  Hopefully, you will find some comfort and understanding here.  I left a comment on your discussion about long weekends, btw.  Bests, L.

LESBIAN ..GAY 2 SPIRITED loss and grief

Anyone who has lost their gay partner..soon finds that there may be a few things that are different...such as sorting through things and feeling like an intruder because it is also family stuff etcSee More

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
