I wasn't able to come back after I posted this, sorry I missed your replies ((DejaVu)) and ((Addy))

((DejaVu)) I remember our exchanges well, you helped me hang on, more than you could possibly know. You had lost as I had, the devastating loss of a loved one to suicide. You had survived, you gave me hope.

I just don't know where I would be today if I hadn't found the strength to reach out, but more important, if others hadn't had the compassion and courage it took to hold onto me, to reflect back on your own pain and loss, to show me, and others, one can indeed survive.

((Alffe)) just big huge hugs of understanding

It is Dad's birthday tomorrow. I went today and placed a balloon on his grave. It was hard, still so very hard........
