Sorry to hear about your friend Sattolite, please stop beating yourself up over it. The problem with death, is that survivors make it about them, which turns it into guilt and drama and grief, when it should be a celebration of that person's life.

My husband died a week ago, it is hard to move on, but you have to. I do cry, bitterly, for myself and my daughter, but not for Chris, because he is no longer suffering.


OMG. Perspective. Thankyou. Im so sorry Helen. For you and your daughter. You are such a strong woman.

Oh hon, I did not mean to hi-jack your post or anything like that, I'm sorry I did so.  I just want to let you know you aren't alone right now.  My time creeps so slowly right now and I have an idea of how it would be easy to be self-destructive right now.  I'm not, of course, because I *try* (and fail, most of the time) to be a responsible parent.  The funeral was today, yesterday, whatever, Wednesday.  I deal with death every day in my profession, but cannot believe I will never see that sweet face again.  If you want to talk, I'm here.
