Wow @Former-Member - that's terrific that your daughter's article was in the Compassionate Friends Newsletter - my son's story had a front page article years ago - I remember how it felt - great feeling

I don't belong now - and I don't get the newsletter or cards - there was something I couldn't handle anymore - and it was really painful for me - but I cancelled out. I was a volunteer for a while and wrote those cards that people get at anniversaries - and I would sit there and be really thoughtful about what I wrote - and there was an emptiness in the cards I received - I think my son's life and death were so complicated nothing really touched the pain there - still doesn't - and it's no one's fault - just the way things are

I'm glad you went to the Riverside March - I did go to things like that in the past - in a few weeks it will be his 31st anniverary - time does heal a lot - it's true - but there are things time doesn't heal - but I guess naturally I moved on - one must make room for those to come - that's life
