Or anyone.

Back in the day, we didn't offer,off the cuff advice, we worked together.
Now that there are kids posted, and no solid conversations, might be time for me to leave DU, if you can answer one question.
What is a Democrat?


Koz

...each of us brings our own collection of these to the party to advantage ourselves of the political elevation it provides to hopefully advance our initiatives into action or law.

The party is also a defense against the republican fascists.

...and, man, LilBit.

A Democrat is a person who cares about people, communities and the environment. A republican is a person who cares about acquiring wealth, and rejecting democratic values.

to us. DU is always here for you. You are going through a tremendous loss; take your time. LilGlad is also by your side.

She is gone, I am truly alone now, Glad won't help me I gave my life to,MrsK and LilBit,
Now I have nothing

Some days it feels like everything and everyone has moved on when you’re deeply grieving. When my beautiful Becky died I couldn’t fathom that the world went on turning and people around me went on living, because my very soul was shattered into a million pieces. Losing the biggest piece of your heart is not an easy thing to navigate. I’m not sure where you’re located but I’d like to ask you to check and see if there is a chapter of “The Compassionate Friends” anywhere near you. Those wonderful people helped more than I have words to tell you. It’s a group of people that have suffered the same loss of a child. Doesn’t matter how or why or how old- they know exactly what you’re going through and everyone is there to listen and help each other through the grief and devastation. Please try to find a group near you. I think it would be most helpful to you.

It is grief support for all. One of my friends posts from it and some of the posts are lifting.

was still alive, your struggle to care for her on your own and your final decision to set her in a home.

But when you first posted her passing yesterday

many commented and recommended.

And, perhaps, as others suggested you should try to find a professional to help you with the sorrow and the loss. You cannot, should not, look for DU for this.

If you're grieving & feeling alone, cutting yourself off from others seems counterproductive.
Take a breath & reconsider.

I come to DU because there are people who see the world as I do. The bereavement group on DU helped me through the loss of my husband in 2017 and since. If I can post something comforting about loss, I do. Each of us is going to experience our grief in different ways. It took me almost 30 years to get past the grief I felt losing my younger brother. The one thing I read after all those years was a Mom saying, "Some things are unacceptable." About the loss of her child.
You have lost your family in a short time. You have a heavy load. I hope you find support and compassion that will help you find your way.

However, you must realize that most people here are not professionals and cannot be expected to know how to help you handle your grief. I actually am a psychiatric social worker and my advice to you is to reach out more to that type of community.

Text HOME to 741741 to connect with a volunteer Crisis Counselor. It’s free and confidential 24/7 support. If you are feeling suicidal check yourself in to a mental health facility. You can also call or text the suicide hotline or chat there. Here’s a link to the chat:

A lot of people here are your friends, so keep in touch with them but don’t expect them to know how to handle your grief.

Good luck, know that you have a lot of people here who care about you, but please reach out to people equipped to help you.
