I do hope for an understanding for all OBT members in whatever form it is they need.

I hope that my unsolicited response is ok...

It's good to meet everyone. Y'all seem to be such a great group of truly caring people.

Thanks KD, and Welcome. Your post is a welcome post indeed and very well stated. Everyone has their own way of grieving and that's what is happening here. DocJohn has graciously allowed and encouraged it.

I lost my DH in Jan-2004, and one of the first things I did, in my grieving process, was to be angry and lash out. How dare he die and leave me alone. He promised he wouldn't do that. Well, you get the drift..Anger, frustration, feelings of dissertion, can all be part of the grieving process.

IF JL was the man on that pedestal, where many here have placed him, then he could squelsh all this lashing out and speculations. Why doesn't he do the honorable thing here, and communicate with his faithful members. Even if, like some have said, is unable to do it, certainly, one of his collegues could.

I am one of those faithful followers and contributers, and I am asking...Why John...Why?

Slowly backing out of room now..
