Relationship On This Forum

[Jestadud]

Recently I started a thread about a cousins funeral that caused me a lot of concern. People here rallied to support me and offer advice. Over Christmas I lost another one and of course it's a sad event yet I don't want everyone to rush in with their sympathies as I have learnt how to survive the day with advice already received.

What I do want to draw attention to is the relationship I realise I now have with people here. My cousin died on Christmas day and part of me wanted to come on here and spread the load, yet another part of me realised how this could upset others so I am quite proud to have held of mentioning it until now, in fact I wasn't sure whether to post this as a success story.

This time I know I will be able to attend the funeral whether my wife goes with me or not, thanks to the support already received.

Just goes to show that advice given once can be used many times.

Damn.... your cousin's soul slipped through my grip and now is resting at peace. Why do all the good ones slip through my fingers?

Please, share away. Most people don't post, but you know the saying 'a problem shared is a problem halved' -

...and you never know when what you share will help another.

Sending you wishes for peace, comfort, and hope that you get through this and onto happier times.

There was another point I was aware of but didn't think to put down.

I posted this thread in the early hours of new years day, having been on the booze staying up with my wife to see in the new year. When she sensibly went to bed I couldn't wait to come on here to see in the new year with friends.
Of course I realise that I am sitting in the study on my own but it never feels like I'm alone when here.

Birds of a feather and all that.

Jesta think that's one of the few 'silver linings', re: this. -So many of the people are wonderful ( ..I'm not naming names ;):))- makes you wonder how we so oftentimes see ourselves in such a terrible-self-destructive light.

I hope I pick up your goodness vicariously, lol :)
