[QUOTE="Nandina, post: 764730, member: 23742"] That’s such a warm, loving response, LMS. Thank you. I’m glad you felt the same love from your friends when you lost your precious son. I pray anyone here who suffers the same misfortune will be surrounded by loving friends and family as well. Or if you know someone who has lost a loved one, check in with them. Especially after all the cards, gifts and flowers stop coming and people begin to get on with their lives again, which is bound to happen. You might think you don’t know what to say…sometimes you can just listen and be present for them with a loving heart, and that is enough. I forgot to mention, I have been in counseling since August and continue weekly sessions. It really helps. I lucked out when I googled her and she turned out to be good, lol. Because I didn’t know anyone who could recommend someone, and my previous experience with a very young, kind of defensive young person was a disaster! Nothing against young people, I love them generally, but I think this girl needed counseling more than me! But seriously, this woman is the most kind and compassionate soul. Just lovely. And gentle, I guess you would call it southern gentleness, but she is a gem. I may have already told this story here, not sure, but forgive me if I repeat, because I’ve mentioned it to people: My son died 2 days before my scheduled appointment with her. After my visit with her, she said, “I’m not going to charge you for today.” I asked her why not, was it because of Christmas, and she said no, and that with my son’s passing, I [I]needed [/I]to be seen, so she wouldn’t be charging me. Wasn’t that sweet? LMS, watch for a message (pm) from me, ok? I have a little more to say. Thank you for reaching out. Love, Nandina [/QUOTE]
