Feeling Very Thankful
I just want to express my sincere appreciation to all of you who show up on this site. The shared experiences, rants and raves, insights, advice and love and shared vulnerabilities have made a real difference to me in how I’m able to navigate my day to day with my DW. Wishing You All the very best Thanksgiving possible.
With love and gratitude!

I sometimes wonder if one can be addicted to an online site, I tend to check in and read a lot here. While some stories can be sad, it’s comforting to know I’m not alone in this journey. I’ve learned so much from so many of you; to say I’m grateful for that is a huge understatement! Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

Thank you for posting this Karen I agree with all the above, I check in every morning and read, rant and reply. I was a mess until I found this site and the care, love, practical help and knowledge found here is amazing. Just knowing that you are not alone and that someone cares is wonderfully healing. I am so very grateful.

I forgot to say that I still cry a lot but nowhere near as much as I used to. It’s a sad painful place to be.

Well said by all the above. Having crossed over into stage 8 nineteen months ago, I still visit almost daily; commiserate, empathize, and sympathize with every poster regardless of content. I comment less and less, but please know, all of you, you are thought of, prayed for, and do hear my whispered encouragement: “Hang in there, it will get better.” 💕💕
I have a little plaque hanging by my kitchen window. “ There is always, always, always something to be thankful for.”
