I posted a couple of days ago about my friend that had taken his life last year. I talked about his sister and I(she is also my aunt)being the best of friends and how his death has changed the dynamics of our whole relationship. It was the post about me not being able to erase his phone # out of my cell. Anyway, her and I just got off the phone after 2 hours and we talked about everything and our great love for each other and our great friendship we have always had. We talked about this past year and how much it has changed our lives. Anyway, we worked out a lot of emotions and thoughts about how we both have been feeling this year and how much we miss Mark. But it was a good thing and we'll try harder to get together and be with each other more. We miss each other and our kids miss each other, it has just been a tough year to get through, but I think tonight was another part of our healing process. I just wanted to let anyone who had helped me out the other day with this, that something positve happened tonight regarding this issue and I thank you all for your listening and help.

Thanks for the update. Grief is a long process and every step is really important. I'm glad to hear that you have progressed a bit further along in the process.

A man who treated me like a person should be treated died in my arms and I cried and stayed in for five months..but I find comfort that he is still with me in my thoughts and heart and that he sleeps in the arms of God. May you be comforted by their love for you.

This is a general message I am posting to all of the groups I belong to:I just thought back to when I first found DS soon after it first began and what a different life I had then. It is much better now, mainly because I have my own apartment as opposed to living in an old travel trailer in somebody's driveway. But even that could have been much worse than it was. I have been here now since...
