Hi Fuzzy,
And it's down to the
amazing person you are, to still have the ability to love despite...........

As for the reaching out to help someone...........well I'm sure
lots of us on here, at least, know
so clearly and deeply appreciate how caring, considerate and sensitive you are towards others

So another
big kudos from me!!
And I'm both glad that you at least had that person in your life, and sorry you lost them

But it is really good that you've held onto what they said
"
my feelings are precious, not something to be "squashed, silenced and ashamed of", I would
absolutely agree with what they told you too
Alison
