Hey Everyone

Hey everyone, I hope you have all had a good day. Mine was okay, had something remind me of the moment I had to tell my mom it was okay for her to go be with my dad and grandparents right before she passed away. I cried a lot when I thought about it.

I was so grateful that my brother was with me at the time. Was really, really hard. It is something I think about a lot. Things happened like it was supposed to, but I still struggle with that day.

What is something you guys are grateful for that happened today. For me it was that I was able to spend some time with my sister and her grandkids.

Grieving is so hard. These memories pop up and knock us for a loop. How are you doing?

Spending time with your sister and her grandkids. I feel children are so calming. Seeing how they look at the world, so full of hopes and dreams melts my heart.

I was grateful for supportive friends. I'm at a crossroad in my life. Trying to make some big decisions, unsure of the path I should take.

Friends here gave me more support than my other friends. There is the difference between people who have walked in our shoes and those that have no idea.

I want to thank those special people. If they read this they know who they are.

Not sure where you live so either have a good day or a good sleep

❤️🐬

Hi good morning, I live in South Carolina, and it is morning here. I really love that there is a lot of state parks around where I live. In the summertime it helps to go to them and just spend time with family. I do not overthink on those days.

It has been close to 4 years since my mom passed away and it is still hard. My brother was here when my mom passed away. He knew that I needed to be there one to say it was okay for her to be with my dad and her parents.

I am glad you have people to really talk to that helps. Everyone on here have been very kind to me. I hope you find the right path with the choices you need to make. Things are going to be okay, just do the best you can,

Thank you so much for your support. Yes there are many kind people here and you are one of them. ❤️

Yes! The woods one of the best places to clear the head.

I love the ocean as well. That's my top pick but the season is short.

I'm so sorry about your mom. It's hard to know you are making the right choice intellectually but emotionally it's an extremely difficult spot to be in. I've supported many families as they make these decisions. My heart breaks each time.

I held my sister's hand and my dad's when they were passing. Can't forget my dog either. I have a picture of his paw in my hand as he passed over the bridge. ❤️

The answers will come. In fact I think I've made one big decision this am. I feel a huge weight coming off my chest. We can only carry these burdens for so long.

I hope you have beautiful weather in SC today. I'm in MA and it's going to be a hot one.

❤️🐬

I love the beach; I am glad I get to go once a year. I grew up camping at the beach with my family a lot of summers. Was really great. Some summers we would go to the mountains to camp. I wish I could go camping more these days.

The state parks do have some great walking paths here in SC, but sometimes we go out of state to other parks and spend a few days. Very relaxing.

I am kind of new on the site but feel like everyone does their best to help one another on here. It's nice to be able to open up some. I don't really talk to many people about my depression. I am glad I found this site.
