Since Friday I have been in an emotional free fall. Can't really say what has triggered it just looking at a way to get through. Yesterday I reached out to a grief recovery expert. She said something that really made me appreciate what I get from this DS group. "When we grieve, we grieve from our hearts. When people respond to us, they respond with their heads. Offering solutions or comments that negate the deep felt sorrow we are going through. Thusly making us feel we need to hide that grief, deal with it on our own, shove it down, none of which is healthy." The people on this site constantly amaze me by responding from their hearts. It is a place we all come to to feel heard. Thank you, Lori
