I have been away for a few days, as I do every weekend now, and come back to find so many messages of heartfelt grief and pain, and although I do try to come up with positive messages, at times like this I feel like saying "What do I know?". I am fortunate in having survived two losses, first our son and then my wife, and I can honestly say that life is not too bad at the moment. I remember all too well that this time last year I was walking the streets alone, sobbing and unable to face anyone. I have only known one time worse than that, which was when our son died, and we both screamed and cried for months, unable to help each other. I learned then that grief has to be faced alone, and that the only person who can really get you through it is yourself. But you can get through it...it is vital to share it with anyone who will listen and here you have found people who will listen and will project strength to you.We may not all get roung to writing, but believe me, everone here is helping everyone else. None of us is alone in this. Please , all of you, keep on writing in, and trusting in what I say... that things will get better. They will never be the same, but grief can be overcome. Please believe me...I do know that it happened to me, and others on here have said the same.
Forgive me if this is a bit mixed up but I feel so deeply for all of you.
Love, Derry
