[QUOTE="Steely, post: 172566, member: 3301"] Thanks to all. I know that all of my repetitive posts must sound, just so, uh, repetitive. However, I do appreciate the ability to just vent, and be heard, and feel listened to. That is such a rarity in life. Death is so elusive. It feels like you have felt every aspect of it, and that you can maybe move through it - and then it starts all over again. There are still moments when I think of H., and catch my breathe because I forgot she has died. How messed up is that? I thought I had experienced grief in every way with 2 Ex's and a difficult child, but I only knew the tip of the iceberg. Or maybe it is all a matter of definition. Trauma vs grief. Abuse vs despair. Chaos vs finality. They are all equally grievous in the moment, but death is more grievous in a compounded way. I think of you all, in various ways, each and every day. Each one of you has changed a part of me. Thanks for always being there. [/QUOTE]
