I even just got engaged over the weekend!
Wow! I totally missed this. Congratulations, swgirl! That's great advice you gave, too. Just keep going. That's something I learned in the Infantry. Never quit. It's the secret to life...or is that 42?
(Sorry a Douglas Adams joke there. ha ha)
Hi, everybody. I neglected to re-introduce myself on this board. I found this place around December of last year because I thought I was having a mid-life crisis. After a lot of soul searching and examining my life, I figured out that it was delayed grief. I lost my little brother, Stevie, in 1995 and my dad in 2000. Both were in sudden, very similar traffic accidents. I think what I thought was a mid-life crisis was probably just finally getting beyond the shock. I put a band aid over the hole inside of me for so long that I nearly forgot it was there. Last year, the band aid came off.
I've learned a lot here and I'm still working through my grief the best way I can. I posted a lot at the beginning, but I'm feeling better now. I still read here every day and comment if I have something to say. Everybody here has been wonderful, and it's helped me a lot being here.
I'm feeling much more whole now. I think I'm beginning to heal.
Doug
