Dear Leslie,

     So sorry that you too have joined our group, yet is a really good group and you will find great friends. Of all the things that have helped us all, talking is at the top of the list.

Talking can be a helpful release. Following the death of all ten of his children, as well as some other personal tragedies, the ancient patriarch Job said: “My soul certainly feels a loathing toward my life. I will give vent to [Hebrew, “loose”] my concern about myself. I will speak in the bitterness of my soul!” (Job 1:2, 18, 19; 10:1) Job could no longer restrain his concern. He needed to let it loose; he had to “speak.” Similarly, the English dramatist Shakespeare wrote in Macbeth: “Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak whispers the o’er-fraught heart and bids it break.”

Leslie, thank you for the friend request. I am sorry about the loss of your son. My son too passed in an accident in the month of October (2012). We are still in court about it...the state is charging the girl who ran over my son on his motorcycle with vehicular manslaughter. We probably have about 4 or 5 more months of court hearings.
