I understand exactly what you miss, what you are wishing for. What we had was unique and life changing for so many of us. It came together at a time in all of our lives when we had a great need for support...most of us were in crisis mode..and I think we can take great pride in the fact that we literally provided the support that was needed to get up the next day.

But as the years moved on...so did a lot of us. Our lives changed...a good thing! When I complained to Mango Shade he tried to explain that this was normal...that forums evolve...people change and that's desireable..especially when you are talking about friends who are in the pits.

Pter used to scold me...saying that suicide forums would hopefully be very inactive places.

I still email some of those people and they are happy, but busy living their lives. They are also grateful for the old friendships and the support they received. But why would they want to be around those same people who "remember when"...to relive their awful times. Some of our memories are pretty heartbreaking.

I remember well the first time you wandered into that forum.

And Florida................*grin. the bluest sky...the lovliest birds..more to follow.
