It is a 'good' feeling to find people who get it in person even if they are strangers, I found someone at jury duty of all places, she just happened to sit beside me and we wound up buddies. Anyway, I will follow your story and be of as much support as I can as you walk this rough road. Glad to "meet" you.

I just don't expect it anymore so when it happens it's like a little present. <br /><br />@Groves- Thank you! And I don't know why finding these people can be so hard. I used to think it was because they hadn't experienced a loss themselves. Yet, I've met people who have lost parents/children/spouses and they're not always the most compassionate people either. (Like my in-laws.) I think, like Susan said, some are and some just aren't. I wish there were more out there. <br /><br />@Abby-Yes, thank goodness for these folks. They have no idea how valuable they are.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06978106493173201688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716266031006082752.post-81696629013756044612012-05-21T12:22:20.226-04:002012-05-21T12:22:20.226-04:00Some of my greatest support has come from people I...Some of my greatest support has come from people I never would have expected it from: a family friend I've always liked but never been close to, the girl who was my best friend in elementary school, a colleague of my fathers (who also lost a child), a friend I haven't seen since we studied abroad together fifteen years ago, and strangers who only know me from my blog. Thank god for these people.Abby Levisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748394086960661826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716266031006082752.post-13375147735841890862012-05-21T10:29:41.391-04:002012-05-21T10:29:41.391-04:00You really do write some incredibly insightful thi...You really do write some incredibly insightful things.<br /><br />Reading one of your posts feels like opening a window.<br /><br />Thank you for helping me see.<br /><br />xo Cathy in Missouri<br /><br />P.S.

If you keep putting yourself and your story out there, then you will find a few Princes. I suppose the reason that people don't, is they get a lot of heartless comments too.<br /><br />I'm glad you got some comfort xSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08189847375191755096noreply@blogger.com
