Hellylou, Yes, I agree 100% with you ...
I think this completely depends on you, your needs/wants, personallity ...
If someone in my RL was speaking with me, extending a hand of comfort, obviously I wouldn't be rude or be upset with them, I'd listen and thank them, but just as the lady above mentioned, like someone loosing a limb, I do not understand, nor do I hope to never, but I wouldn't try to give my input and sometimes that innocent "i'm sorry" isn't helpful to the one that experienced the loss ... I think people do what helps "them" in the situation, not what the one with the loss needs or wants, that's MY experience anyway ...
I completely understand this is a public, free site and I am extremely greatful for but I just tend to stick to the section that pertains to me ... I never go "snooping" thru anywhere else, ecspecially the loss sections... I feel each section are very personal, and those who post in them are seeking help, support, comfort from others in their same shoes...
Dunno where this crazy thread came from ... Guess it was just a thought/feeling that I felt and wondered if there was anyone else that had those as well ....
It sooo mind boggling how much I have changed since March ... These last 6 months, I have done a complete turn around .... I used to be SO social, loved seeing my friends, going out dancing, shopping, vacationing, just being out..... Now, If I do get out of the house, which I am doing more lately, I tend to just wanna be alone.... Kind of makes me worry a bit... I keep hearing how this can change you but I honestly wasn't expecting this.... Honestly, I don't like this new Kelly ... More subdue, not the fun loving me anymore.... Hoping with time this will change ... Has this been the case for you all?? Do you notice the more time passes the more 'you comes back??? Or is this new person here to stay??
Big Hugs Ladies.... Hope your day is gentle ... Xoxo
