Hi all, its been a while since I've posted anything on here, but I find it harder and harder to express my feelings . Not just here but at home , with my friends and my family. I feel like I'm a burden to them and even on here even though you are all in the same boat as me. I have deleted my feelings so many times on here and then I just hover over the buttons. Sorry for the rant but if I don't do it now I never will.
Hi Lily,
Good for you for bringing it up with your brother, and your husband! I used to hold back with my wife more because every time I would bring up something having to do with death, she would burst into tears - I didn't want to make her cry! But she has been like your husband, very supportive, said that she is just a crier, doesn't mean it's bad that I say it, and in fact it does her good too. And she always says something that makes me feel better.
