Wishing You All the very best Thanksgiving possible.

    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.
