I wasn't one of those who posted, but all those I saw defended you. I
certainly didn't see anything offensive about your post.

I didn't think I was being offensive, but I can often be rather dense about
bulldozing over people's feelings without ever knowing I'm doing it. I
thought this might be one of those times. You can't ever be too careful in
written correspondence, things can take on a totally different meaning than
what you meant to say - even smileys don't help. I've read that 90% of what
we communicate is communicated by tone of voice and body language - when you
lose that communication, the written word seems so inadequate!

Hugs,

I'd like to apologize to Cheryl for any (unintentional) hurt I may
have
caused (I've already emailed her privately to apologize and ask her to
come
back to the group).

I noticed that in some of the responses to Cheryl's note some others
in the
group seemed to be agreeing with her about me (unless I'm being too
paranoid). If I have given offense to anyone else, I'd like to
apologize
for that also. I think the is the nicest, kindest, most sensitive and
thoughtful group of people on earth and I would do anything to keep
from
causing dissension here or hurting anyone's feelings.

If this is the case, please let me know either by posting to the group
or
emailing me privately, and I will unsubscribe myself from the group -
no
hard feelings.

Hugs,

CatNipped

Oh my, now you've made me feel guilty about not posting a Sammy story in so
long. ; I've been thinking about doing a "Cooking With Mommy" story about
what I go through when I have to do that culinary chore. I promise to get
right to it this weekend!

Don't be too hard on yourself. I'm deaf and the written word is about all
I've got. Sure its easier to missunderstand when you can't see someone you
are "talking" to. But that isn't you. Its just the nature of human
communication.

So please don't anyone leave. I'd miss you too much.

Yes, you do grieve when you've lost someone, but after a period of
time you have to get on with your life. Most funeral homes have
support groups to help you through the grieving process.

Grief takes as long as it takes, and it's different for each person.
Everyone has different past experiences, as well as different innate
temperaments, which may help or hinder us from healing from a current
tragedy. There's no right or wrong way of grieving, nor is there a
standard time for "moving on."

I'm terribly sorry about your having lost your husband. And I'm glad that
you've found a way to go on. I hope that can help you show compassion
for others who've lost people they love, rather than insisting that they
recover in the same way, and at the same rate of time, that you have.
