1. I am so sorry for your losses.

Words are never enough and I know there is nothing I can say to ease your pain. It is hard to grieve. Doubly harder to grieve while recovering. Center those people in your mind who are here, who do care. They need you. It may not seem like it but they do.

Sometimes I spend my nights rocking the tears out of a 14 year old boy whose father withdrew (after the death of his own father). Some days it is very hard for me (still, at 5 years since I lost him) to go about caring. It's a tough road. We can do this.

Be good to yourself and know that I care. I know I'm just here, on the internet, but I do.

Be well Tripod.
