      From CherKeg July 25

      Sending you lots of hugs! I am so sorry for the tragic loss of your brother & Dad. No wonder you are feeling like there's no light at the end of the tunnel. You have suffered such a tremendous loss. Welcome to DS and to "Daddys Girl"....you will find lots of wonderful people who are very kind & supportive. You WILL get through this. I know right now you are feeling so much pain, that it seems impossible to ever feel normal again. Time does heal. But for right now you have to take one step at a time. Don't look into the future right now, or it will seem too overwhelming. I am here to listen any time you need to share your feelings or to vent. Don't bottle your emotions up inside. Take care of yourself. Hugs, Cheryl

      I keep trying to write him a letter just to get all the feelings out but I get to a point and I can't find the words.

      At times it helps then at other times it just makes things worse.
