"is griefshare a website like this?"
"Kali
I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal.
Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"
It was not supposed to be like this
In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More

Hi Ruth:
As an animal lover, I wanted to reply to your post about losing your Golden Retriever almost a year after your mom during the holiday season. I miss my mom almost every day, despite her being gone now for 3.5 years, just a few weeks after one of my closest friends passed away unexpectedly. Two big holes in the fabric of my life. In September 2013, 15 months ago I sent my 15 year old Border Collie to the Bridge. This loss seems larger as my furkids (still have 3 cats) are the children I never had. Yet I have had a hard time in adopting another dog.
I accept that all these lovely ladies I've lost no longer had any quality of life. And I would not want them to struggle and suffer to be just barely alive. I know I will see them all again. Still it is difficult at times.
I'm a little older than you at 59 and find myself dealing with my own mortality.
I hope you find comfort in your memories and believe that you will find that peace.
Warmly,
Kris
