One of our Virily friends has lost a family member. Ghostwriter wrote about her loss yesterday.
You can read her post here in case you missed it. I Thought I Was Prepared
We can never be prepared to lose a loved one. We can try and think we are, but when it happens, it takes your breath away. I know this from personal experience. And it never gets easier. We just have to find our own way through and eventually the light will begin to shine again.
Ghostwriter, Please know you have our support as you go through this difficult time. Take one step at a time. Don’t rush yourself. Talk if you need to. Be silent if that is what helps you. And through all of this, remember you are not alone in your pain.
Do whatever it is you need to do to survive this trauma, and don’t worry about whether it pleases or displeases other people.

Yes

No

strangely enough, I’ve been working on candles myself…
I just came back and saw this today. Thank you so much. This means more to me than you will ever know, Carol for being and so thoughtful and all of your comments are giving me comfort that is so needed. I can never repay such a kindness.
Truly a kind word goes long way. But I wonder why people react with lol to such sad posts. It really hurts.
You are so right Dawn. Little things help more than others realize.
Some react like this because they do not read the posts. Simple as that Dawn. It does hurt but with a public forum nothing you can do to stop it. Just consider the source.
I remember this, having sadly lived parts of this loss myself. The best words come a month from now, a year from now. But the support comes now as well!
This was more of an acknowledgement of her loss. As you know, I too know of the levels you go through as time passes. You can never too much unconditional support.
Thank you so much. Carol
Thank you for visiting. You are welcome, all for Ghostwriter.
What a wonderful post Carol.
Was all done for her Kim, I know the feeling, as many of us do.
Thanks for sharing the link, Carol…
You are welcome Art. Good to see you.
Thanks Carol. I will go to that post.
You are very welcome, and thank you.
My condolence to Ghostwriter. Dealing with the loss of a loved one isn’t easy. I hope you and your loved ones will get through and find the hope and strength to move on.
You are kind. And are so right. It is never easy, I don’t care who you are, or who you have lost.
My condolences to Ghostwriter. I missed that post and I think Carol for sharing the link.
Thank you Alex. I am sure she will appreciate your words.
Yes, I will make a point to go to the Gratefulness channel and light a candle for Ghostwriter, she is a wonderful person I am lucky to have met on Virily.
Nothing can prepare you for something like that.
That will be very nice. I know she will appreciate the kindness Pam.
No, you cannot prepare.
We are friends for helping ourselves through the most difficult times.
Yes, that is what friends are suppose to do.
Having caring friends has gotten me though difficult times, and I know the same with you as well.
I don’t know what I’ve missed… but … I just hope she is feeling better!
A really caring post, Carol, I’m sure she’ll feel better knowing that you (and we) are here with her, supporting her.
All I know is the post I liked above. I hope this post and candle helps her. Good to see you.
When does the next letter start in the challenge?
I’m going to let it be flexible from now on. Everyone can go on their own pace. If you decide to do an alphabet daily, its fine too!!
Seems like Kim and Pamela is looking at C for the coming week (Monday), you could join them with C if you want. I actually wanted to ask a favour if you could “take over” the challenge because you can post more timely than I do (since do not need to wait in the Q). But its fine if you don’t want to.
Meanwhile, I’m going to post my B. because its a letter I don’t want to miss! :p
That might work better since many are on different time zones and schedules. Thanks!
Very supportive and of you, we should support and help each other in every moment.
Yes I agree with you, good to see you. Hope all is well in your world.
I was on holidays, thank you for your concern Carol.
You are welcome, I missed seeing you.
What a lovely post and what a nice support and attention to our friend, dear Carol
Thank you, I feel this way about all of our friends here. When we need support, I try to be there for them.
I have always offered Ghostwriter and others on this site an ear to listen and a shoulder to cry on. We’re a family. That’s what families should do! Thanks for posting.
I know you have and it has not gone unnoticed. Glad to have you here. And I agree with you.
