[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 413884, member: 6705"] Steely, I too understand. Not in exactly the same way, but some. All those well-meaning people who feel so patronizing to you - don't know how to say what they are feeling. None of us really do. I always shied away from the "I'm sorry for your loss", because it always felt so overused. Yes, it's really the only thing we are taught to say, but it covers none of the actual grief. I know I can do nothing in real life to help, aside from being here, reading your posts, and sending you all the gentle hugs I can muster up and push through the keyboard to your screen. But keep posting, please, because in a way it helps me deal with some of the grief I've been trying to work through. Just knowing someone else gets it, helps so much. [/QUOTE]
