| Sweet (and true!) post, Nell. Glad you thought to post this. Thank you. |

| Nice greeting Nell! It's really too bad when someone has come along and is now a "member" of this group. But what a nice way to ease them into the road to healing. You were very right, when you said our grief comes in many forms. Thanks! :-) Emma in PA |

| You know, a welcome like this should stay at the top of the screen, at least for a while. Responding to it moves the thread down into oblivion. That's what happened when I posted a similar one some time ago. Maybe you should try again, Nell? :-) Susan |

| I posted for the 1st time about 10 days ago, even though I had been reading the messages and finding some comfort from them. Today has been really hard for me, as it was the final day for clearing out the flat my parents had lived in for 17 yrs. I was ok sorting out the things, and boxing them up, but to see the flat empty was really heart breaking. But its all done and sorted now and that was real worring in itself wondering if I would get it done in time. My parents were wonderful people, my mother even paid for her and my dads funeral in 2000 so I wouldn't have the burden of sorting it out. They both left this world not owing anybody a penny, which in this day and age doesn't happen very often... To my 2 beautiful parents I love you both so much and miss you terribily XXXXXXX |

| Bless your heart, Jan. You've had a hard week. I posted another message that maybe will hang up there for a while. When it slides down, Susan, we'll make a new one. Thanks. Last night I wandered in here and thought of how much I thought your original message added to the forum's effectiveness. I'm always encouraged by how many come with such a fresh, severe grief and soon they're able to comfort another. Nell |
