I’m sorry to all those posting here who lost online friends who they had bonds with, it’s a particular type of bereavement, I lost a dear online friend myself (her husband kindly wrote to me which was so kind considering his own grief). The bonds we can make online can be very special, and it’s wonderful we have the opportunities to make them. |
I lost a dear online friend about 6 years ago and I still miss her. I agree, the bonds we make online can be very special and its wonderful we have opportunities to make these bonds
I also find people here to be (mostly!!) kind and gentle with each other (some of those who maybe were not do not seem to be here any more
That makes me think of somewhere else I posted where about 50 percent of the members vanished (long ago). It was not a gentle place.
I'm currently trying to work something out with an old online friend elsewhere, although I'm not sure if she is interested in working anything out. I ''deleted'' her and now I can't see any of her posts (it doesn't work the same way as these forums work). I will take a long break and think again ...
(not anyone here)
