Many Happy Returns

I feel in many ways that many people who left the site would come back here. I miss many lovely people and it is a sad place without them.

We are coming into Christmas, it would be nice to have a get together.

Did people leave because they got to a place where they didn't need the support anymore, or some other reason (e.g. disagreements)?

[Hidden in reply to tofler]

I want to leave the reasons alone, people need to heal, and the site is peaceful now.

[tofler in reply to Hidden]

Ok, that answers my question for me, thank you

Hello lovely to see you here I hope you are keeping well, I feel it seems like a sad place at the moment, a site that has so much to offer, yet so depleted. I now come to this place again, although now am on different Forums, not connected to here. It would be fantastic to bring it back to a viable site once more that is why I posted.

I just feel we may be able to bring this place back

Hello Bob. I agree with you. There used to be so many different people responding when I first joined the forum. I do hope that they'll consider coming back when the time is right for them. I miss them as well.

Hello everyone, I just had a sense of wanting to wish you all peace & love. Sometimes pain has such a depth & an endless hunger for energy that, for me, I feel it can consume aspects of my live which I never thought possible! Yet, even reading here tonight I feel heartened that people do care & that helps. Very, very best wishes to you all Pixiewixie

Maybe some of those people left the site because they received a curt, dismissive and unhelpful answer? Might that be the case Hidden ? People don't always have the confidence to tell us how bad things are for them or just how bad they feel. The tone and content of our replies are very important to those reaching out.

[Hidden in reply to NFDK]

Possibly yes so true
