"Bipolar" (Britt1000)

MDJunction to me

2steveb" In life we all have trials and tribulations to endure weather it be physical, mental or social. For me personally when i encountered MDJunction i was astounded. Since i joined MDJunction to me it has been a god send and a life saver. I have met and been able to converse freely with so many people in the same situation as myself, (that alone is a big help, to know your not alone) to be able to discuss and get good advice from a braud section of people. One of lifes hardest things is to discuss personal issues with friends/family and yet the mdj family is non judgmental and you will be made totally welcome to talk through any issue thats on your mind. There are forums for every known issue to mankind, to me MDJ.com has become my family extension, id be lost without these good people and the extremely good guide lines that group leaders help us all with to keep threads topical and friendly."

I am sorry for your loss. It is always sad when we lose someone we love. Be KIND and GENTLE with yourself. There is no need to beat yourself up with the "could'a, would'a, should'as". If you remember her in your heart, she is never gone.

Hang in there and BIG hugs!

Blessings, strength and courage to all.

Thank you all for responding. Each and every response means so much to me. I am touched. The funeral is on Friday. It will probably be the last time that the sisters are all together. My siblings and I are going to put together a scrap book for each sister with my great aunts pictures. She had a very difficult life. She spent six months in a psych hospital. One day she decided she would get better and she did. She would spend nine months in the general hospital having surgery for her arms. She was handicapped. During this time parents were only able to visit once a month. She was a surviver. I miss her dearly. Thank you so very much for being there.
