You have a generous heart.

I so often feel inadequate and don't know what to say in these case. Hugs are good.

I know what you mean and, yes, hugs are always good.

for you, G_j

Good on ya mate.

to join you.

I see so much pain here and elsewhere online, and I really do care about every single case, even though I don't know anyone here personally. I wish I were in a position to offer practical help, but my own life is a mess, so here's a hug & a prayer for anyone who needs it.

mind blowing and totally healing. I needed it badly and I received it bountifully.

Many for you, marble falls.


I hope life has been kinder to you recently.

Especially you, One Grass Root.

You're teh awesome!

Julie

Thank you for all you do.



And for those suffering, - You are not alone.

Big for you, IdaBriggs.

To know we're not alone can make all the difference in the world.

My wife's mom passed away peacefully Sunday morning, following a very difficult battle with multiple health issues, as well as a pretty unhappy life after her husband dumped her following his "graduation" from AA. My wife's efforts here for her mom (she managed to get hospice care started, meaning passing at home instead of a hospital or rehab), and her difficult family, only reinforced what a really lucky man I am to have married such an angel.

Hugs to all - I know others have experienced losses recently; just haven't had time to acknowledge them in specific threads.

Condolences on the passing of your mother-in-law, NRaleighLiberal.

What a blessing that she had her loving daughter and you by her side. I'm sure your wife is as grateful for you as you are for her.

to you all.

Even after 33 years of marriage, my wife and I seem to manage to surprise each other in positive ways all the time - and we are also finding that having each other means we can each put up with more than we could otherwise.

It was a privilege to be able to help my mom in law on her journey - we did the same in recent years with my dad and my wife's dad. Certainly not easy times, but they make a permanent impression and become part of us through the experience.

I couldn't agree more, about the challenges and learning and growth within ourselves.

You've both had your share of struggle in recent years, it seems. I hope the path forward is one of grace and ease for a long, long time.

A for you, VWolf.

but I do 100% appreciate the support and acknowledgement I've received from others on this forum. There are several people on this forum who have done more for me than they might ever really know.

I might be a cold and emotionally distant person much of the time, but it doesn't mean that I don't appreciate the love and support given to me.

Thanks everyone.

A for you, TheJames.

Edit to add: Welcome!
