    Holidays
    Hi Jim,

    I've been thinking of you too. The Holidays are a tough time to be grieving, lost my sister in 1998 in December- it's hard to begin with but somehow the contrast of Christmas Joy and deep loss is really difficult.

    So- like others said, we are thinking of you and sending love your way. And John is right, Wanda is with you and wants you to be happy and to live!

    Hugs,
    Donna

    Mountains and stars
    Hey everybody.
    I'd written a bunch before and somehow "fat fingered" and wiped it all out.

    So, I'll go for the simple version:

    1) John, you're right - Wanda wouldn't want us overcome with grief and sadness.

    2) There's another mountain in my path and I'll climb it - the stars are getting closer all the time.

    3) I mean it sincerely when I say "I feel the love".

    I'll try to write more later when I get a chance.
    Thank you guys so much.

    Hugs,

    Jim

    Too much sadness
    Dear Jim,

    It's ok to grieve and be full of sadness. Especially, considering the circumstances. So unexpected, and right before Christmas. It might be a good idea to give in a bit. Please
    give yourself a break.

    I know you'll make it over the mountain. That's just who you are.

    All my love Maggie

    Hi Jim
    Hi Jim,
    Just wanted to say that I've been thinking of you too! I agree with miss Maggie, sometimes you need to just let go and it's definitely OK to cry. When my mom died I couldn't even cry at her funeral because I had to be strong then as time passed on I started to cry for no reason and at odd times but it helped a lot. Only time will heal your hurt, it feels weird that even though I don't know you in person I really, really care about you and the rest of the people here. So please take care of yourself and sending you a warm hug.

    Sincerely,
    Liz
