I want to shout from the rooftops "I have at last had a good day" I didn't think it would ever be possible but I did. I had a good day! When I first came on this site like all of you I was in the depths of despair and so alone I thought I would die. At first the people on here didn't seem real to me. Just a computer site with comments from a far away place. I kept coming here though and slowly people have became real. I have come to feel as though I know many of you through the discussion posts. cliffskat you are an invaluable source of down to earth advice and your activity in the posts has helped me so much. Other active members that come to mind are autopilot, sandie203, goneforever, sadwithoutyou, ginnycat, pstrevels, treasuresmom, pneylan, mrsmill, and who wouldn't have a soft spot for gunny. There are so many, many more and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I just wanted to say that there are so many of us here that are just quietly reading and feeding from what is said and I feel as though you have all contributed to my good day. Everyone here is invaluable and the advice and information such a source of inspiration. I thank god for you all and even though it probably won't last I am just so happy that after 6 months and 2 weeks the sun has shone for me today. There is no ryme nor reason, no trigger for it. It just happened and I am so grateful. It is so huge for me. How grief changes our lives. All of you here that have had one or more days where you have felt okay would understand what a relief it is to know eventually it is possible and for those of you who haven't I hope you will soon. I will treasure this day. Sorry for rambling, I just had to tell someone and say thankyou.
Much love to you all.

" I am so happy for you that you had a good day. I believe there is hope for all of us to get through this ordeal. Like you when I first joined I thought will this really help. But I really don't know what I would do without this site. Just knowing there are so many others going through the same thing is comforting. Of course I wish so much that none of us had to meet under these circumstances. But we can't change that. And the one thing that I really look forward to at this time is coming to this site and talking to friends, and reading the discussions. This grief is so hard to bare, but this site makes it a little easier. Anyway, I am rambling, but Thank God for your good day, and I pray that you have many more, love Pam "

" I am so happy for you, what you said is so true. Talking with my friends here has come to be a big part of my new life. I think about what is said and store it away. I've had a couple good days, saying a prayer to start the day has really been helping. This morning a prayer was going in my head as I woke up and I felt good.It really felt like Ted was giving me a hug as I mentally was saying a prayer as I opened my eyes. So it was all from the heart. Shazz75, Thank you for starting this discussion. The sun is shining and it's a new day full of hope, Hugs--Autopilot "
