I really NEED to tell you that you are my favorite poster in all of MB. Your insight and 'between the eyes' directness are a breath of fresh air.

I have been learning how to cry, after a lifetime (39 years) of NOT, and one thing I read of yours helped tremendously, when, to paraphrase, you said that if you could not cry, you might be crazy by now. I can attest to the fact that holding it in for a long period of time will drive a person to the brink. The last time I really cried before this week was when Brian Piccolo died (remember him?). I was only 5, but that movie ripped my heart out.

If I could have had anything different about my growing up, it would have been to have a big sister, and you would have been my choice.

God Bless, You Pepper.

well I distract myself quite a bit

I call my H when I feel in pain, and he talks with me. Or he holds me in person if we're together.

I contact my Dad.... but that often leaves me feeling more broken-hearted to witness his hurt.

i am doing OK considering it was less than 3 months ago.

It still feels like a dream at times...... this cannot be real....

George Bailey was the character Jimmy Stewart played in the movie "It's a Wonderful Life"....not Harvey. His name in the Harvey movie was Elwood P. Dowd.

I have lots of respect for you too, Pep...your ability to cut to the core of the problem at hand, see through stuff, your directness. Great.
I think you have a gift.

Thank you GB ... thank you for your prayers.

I have a hurting place where I stick all the good wishes ... and it's a sort of balm to my grief.
