Morning everyone. Woke up to the sun shining in the bedroom window, got up had breakfast, banana on toast and just on my second coffee. My positivity is back (thank god). Going to have a shower dress and go for a walk through the woods and show my husband were I use to play as a kid as our move has taken me back to my roots. Have a good day all XX
When people get a welcome they realise they are not alone. I remember people being kind to me when I joined, it made such a difference. For the first time you find people who understand you and what you are going through.
There must be so many people out there who do not realise what help they can get just by pressing a few buttons.
Thanks for helping them Ellie.

Guys
Firstly please forgive me for jumping in on your conversation but I really feel the need to understand the Moderation issues here.
I think this site is so well run and organised and whilst I can see the heed for moderation, we are all adults here and can surely be open with each other and big enough to apologise if we inadvertently say the wrong thing. Language moves on and things I said and did years ago, that I grew up with are offensive to some people now, but we learn that every day as our language evolves.
A very short few weeks ago my life went right down the toilet pan and my world ended.
Then I joined this group and started to talk to people like you lot. You have been a life saver to me. I read these messages for hours and try to join in wher I can. Sometimes they make me laugh sometimes they make me cry, but I would be even more lost without them. I got married again last week and was able to share that with loads of people I've never met, the comments i got back were fantastic.
What I'm trying to say is please don't change, if the " filters" pick us up and a post gets delayed or deleted, so what?
I for one, need to be able to say what I feel. Where else am I allowed to do so.
Surely the group description says it all:
"This group is specifically for people with an incurable or terminal diagnosis. Whether you need to talk about dying, or about making the most of your life, you can discuss your feelings openly here',
I'll apologise now in advance because at somone point in the middle of a long lonely, desperate night I will say something that will piss somone off somewhere but, I won't do that deliberately or with any malice.
Like I said! Don't change, you have helped me more than I can ever express.
Thanks for listening and taking the time to read this.
Take care guys,
Rameses.
