Hi Doli, Marie here. Sometimes a person does wonder what can they possibly say, and your thinking and thinking, and still nothing comes to mind that doesn't sound contrite and full of the normal "I'm sorry" tone. I don't think you said to much, you shared what you are still feeling years later, what you still visualize in your mind. Shared experiences is what connects us to others, be it family, IRL friends, or the people we've met thru SSHM. Growing up my best friend's mom became my second mother. I could talk to her about things that my own mom was to much of a "prude" to discuss. MS ran in her family and when the disease became to much for her and she "thought" she was a burden to her daughter and son-in-law she OD on her meds. When I got the phone call, every emotion ran thru me. Hurt. Anger. Sadness. You run the gauntlet of those feelings and all the "why questions" run thru your brain. They never quite leave you. So, Thank you for sharing Doli, and being such a good friend to KJ. She is a strong woman, and I know she can handle the truth because without saying the truth, means your hiding, and hiding does not allow you to heal, even if it's just a tiny bit each a day. Hugs, Turtle Marie. :)
