A close friend moved to another state, recently. Not a far drive, but still. Just found another good friend is moving across the country at the end of May. I have been without my T since November 7, 2018. Another close friend is battling an horrific form of cancer. Recently I learned that an old friend had been murdered. I always pray for strength and healing, and am now reaching out to you for some support. I really don't think I can handle another loss. Thanks, Cool.

It's hell. I am on my second big one in recent times myself. You may have to seek short term or temporary grief/loss therapy or a support group. That's what I did.

I'm sorry you are dealing with it, it's awful.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I think a grief support group is a good idea. I do one for depression that helps me a lot.

So sorry to hear about your losses.

I'm 71, and finally getting it that loss is a part of life, as I get older. Doesn't make it any easier, but . . .what can one do? Accept, kind of like the Buddhist idea of suffering, though I have to say some days it is really hard.

You've probably read about it, since you're a librarian and read a lot?, but I've read that there is what some have called an epidemic of loneliness in our society currently. So, we're not alone, in our aloneness, if that makes any sense. Sucks, but there it is.

I'm sending you all the love and acceptance and best wishes that I can, through this limited medium of internet support. It does help me sometimes, glad you reached out.

Hugs, Cool.

Hugs, Cool. I am sorry you just seem to catch a break. I agree with others here it would be worth looking into support group. I know around here there are some though the churches and you can go when you need/ want to.

I am here for you if you want to talk privately.
