I don't want to be alone

I hear you and agree with others there's no timeline for grief / loss. I don't often respond to a lot of posts because I feel like I don't have anything worthwhile to say. I am realizing now (thank you btw) that just saying "I hear you and send hugs" can sometimes be what people need and I don't have to have some perfect response. So - I hear you, Scarlet, and send healing energies your way. Work things out here as much as you need to, I say.

(((Scarlet))) Sorry I haven't been responding much to your posts. I agree with what many others have already said. Grief and loss is unique to each individual and there is no time line for that.
I still cry for my ex-T, too, and I don't know why. So, in a way, I understand. Obviously our circumstances were completely different.
I do try to follow your posts and I have seen how far you've come. You are an inspiration!
I have learned so much from you. Thank you.

I'm sorry I haven't been online much either. I havd been kind of withdrawing, even online. I'm still suffering too and you are NOT alone. It sucks because it gets easier and then harder again. I think your anger is healthy and helpful. I wish I had more anger.

Kind of like that. The only difference, I guess, is I had no idea the relationship was going down hill. She promised to never abandon me so many times. I believed her. Termination wasn't even a fear of mine that day.

Thank you. It was my T who helped me make sense of what support I needed. I was telling her that there not much anyone can say to help me, but I still wanted support. And, of course, she was right that I just want to be heard. The main thing that's going to heal me is time. And I have to learn to be patient with myself. But I still want some support: a hug, a "thanks", encouragement, things that make me laugh, hearing other's stories. No one has a perfect response. In fact, my T said that responding to grief is something she still struggles with.

Thank you all again! This has helped me immensely. I reread all the posts to remind myself that I'm not alone.
