The greatest honor you can pay to your sweet son is to keep going. I can't imagine the pain although I live in fear of that pain every day so my heart goes out to you so sincerely, but you must keep going for him and forever hold that love close to your heart.
I was shocked and aghast that I upset you so by posting my condolences to your son’s guest book on the other site. In no way did I intend to betray your trust nor add to your grief. I’m very sorry that I apparently did both.
I don’t want to sound as though I am justifying my actions, but because there seems to be a question around a breach of anonymity on this board, I’d like to assure other members of the community that the board was not mentioned by name nor was the site Network54 mentioned. Additionally, I did key word searches on three different search engines and found no current links. Those that I did find were at least two years old and I deleted them.
Nevertheless, I will be deleting my profile on Network54 because, obviously, I will not be posting here or elsewhere on the site any longer.
I’d like to close by wishing you all, without hint of sarcasm or irony, the best for the new year. It was a pleasure and an honor to be part of this community.

My entire family is upset that you found it necessary to advertise that you met me on an affair recovery site. A tad bit insensitive, don't you think??
Pain, pain, pain!!!
I guess you felt I didn't have enough to bear with losing my son.
I am so sorry I shared my grief. I thought it would be safe to do it here.
Pain, pain, pain!!!

I'm so sorry you are hurting. I lost my dad on Dec 2nd and I know how little things trigger us and make us hurt more. I truly believe that Ms. Misha was trying to help, and didn't do that to hurt you. I've known her a long time and there isn't a mean bone in her body. Regardless, obviously it did hurt you and you are upset.
Your kids need you to keep moving on and to get through the next few difficult days. Take it one day at a time and hang in there. I know everything seems overwhelming right now, but your children need you.
Some of us do reveal personal information or learn personal information as a result of participating in this site. I think it is everyone's responsibility to keep that information private, including how we "know" one another.
I have met a number of the people on the site "in real life" and consider them friends. However, I am very guarded when telling anyone else how I know those friends...I use the phrase "we met through an online support group". I would recommend that phrase to everyone else. Keep in mind that some people who participate here don't ever tell their spouses about it and may not want them to know.
While I visited the memorial for aanisah's son, I thought it best to confine my condolences to this site so that she would not have to explain to friends and family how she might know me.
aanisah, thank you for sharing the memorial with us for as long as you did; I am sure you did not imagine that this could happen as a result of sharing your grief. I am sorry you are in the position of explaining something you didn't want to explain to your friends and family.
PLEASE, everyone, be considerate of the private information we all have about one another. Whether or not you choose to be open about certain events in your life is irrelevant. I think it is best to assume that other members of the site want things kept private among us.
Chris.
