Bereavement

[ukulele_player]

I lost a very close friend recently. The person who would normally support me through times like this, who has been available 24/7 in person or at the end of the phone to help me with Asperger issues, who didn't have a problem with my need to discuss things at length and who included me in his social, family and work life.

Popping in to say I read your post and that your words were heard. I hope that you come through this grieving process in one piece and that you can find someone to help you with this as well as with life.

I'm reading and sympathize.

That sounds like the equivalent of losing a significant other. My heart goes out to you. If you need more support from anyone in this group, or from all of us, please ask. I know I will listen.

Yes, he is a major part of my life and the future looks bleak. It has been so good to see the replies here already. So yes I do need support, thank you.

I am back from a weekend away from the computer. Message me if you'd like and I'll take time to respond within a day or so.

Very sorry for your loss.

[wobblerlorri]

I'm so sorry. Is there anyone else in your circle who could be or is willing to be promoted to that position?

And I know that was kind of cold. I'm sorry again, and sorry for your loss.

No it didn't seem cold to me and absolutely makes sense. No there isn't anyone who can fill that space, I think it is going to take a lot of people and some formal paid arrangements to get things anywhere near manageable. My husband is doing all he can at the moment but we both know he will burn out fast.and Monday he is back at work and will be exhausted and probably suffering SAD. I don't think I am really hard work for the right person, a lot of the time it is someone to talk things over with extensively or to just be with or go places with.
