Mark I go to Alliance as well as this site.  While I feel this is a good site, I do feel that I can related more to what the people are going through there.   Losing someone to illness, accident, old age is bad enough, but when someone delibrately took their own life - its a whole different painful experience.  I'm sorry you had to go through this too.   I have been reluctant to post my story on either site because it is just too complicated.   However I do read alot of the posts here and there.  I can relate to here how alot of people missing their loved one and the loneliness they are feeling without them.  I'm just lurking at both sites now going back and forth.  They are the only places I have felt some comfort other than talking with my loved one's family.

I don't know if you will ever read this Mark. I'm sorry to hear you were not finding your needs met here. I've been on this site for probably about 3 weeks now and I did post on a previous one of yours thanking you for your writings. Being in the storm of this grief hell myself, I find that I don't know what to say to help people. But I find their stories and continued raw feelings helpful to read to know I'm not alone. I will miss your writings but I hope you find the Alliance of Hope website to be what you need.

Mark, I came on today specifically to thank you for your blog posts. I lost two sons, one as an infant and my other son in 2012. I had read your entry about the struggle you went through as you struggled with disposing of your wife's items. It helped me to face that hurdle in my own life, as I know in my head that I need to part with some of my son's items. Still very difficult to do however.

So thank you and I too, wish you healing as we travel this road of grief. May you find what you need, it is a rough journey for sure.

Take care,

Laurie
