To everyone who has shared a personal experience here, or helped us see a new perspective, or educated us on something unfamiliar. Yes, especially those who are hurting after yesterday but also the many other times you've opened up and opened our eyes. We learn a lot from each other. Sometimes at a cost. Thank you if you've borne that cost for us.
Sonrisa and everyone else, thank you for being supporting and understanding. Thank you for being there for people like me and everyone else in the thread who told personal stories and opened up old wounds. Thank you for letting us get these secrets out and being there to help us through it all. It means a lot to me to know I can come here and open my box of deep dark secrets and have support and love from people who barely know me. Thank you

This is a great post.
I don't post here as much as I used to, but I always value what people have to say. I got a lot of comfort from here when my mom died, and I will always appreciate that.
You were there for me with my dad. When I was struggling to talk about my crappy L&D and recovery with my real life friends and family. When I was having a tough time with the baby. During the miscarriage. And now you'll put up with my whiney "but I'm bleeding again. wah. wah" posts. For all the crap that happens here, you have been great to me. Thank you.
I just wanted to say a Huge Thank you to y'all as well. I am an older mom, and don't know how I found this place, or even if I fit in. I am not a new mom, but have a young lady whom I help who is and I get some good info for her.
I don't know how or where to fit in as I have started over, am married, and it sucks, totally trouble in paradise. I just lurk, have shared a bit of a story, and if I shared everything, I would be literally told to go to a mental hospital, you are making all of this up, and no one could ever have that much shit happen to you kind of thing. ( hence the living a laugh out loud life)
So as I lurk and read and feel for so many of you on here, I thank you for the opportunity to peer into someone else's life, and see how maybe just that little bit of info would help me in my struggles.
I have done the councilling gamit, it is very expensive, ( I am on a pension and it is not covered) and the waiting lists are incredibly long, and again, what I live and have lived is incredibly unreal and dealing with it all is unbelievably tough to deal with on a daily basis. When you think you have gotten past one tragedy another one pops right up.
I have shared a bit on the other boards but there is something I really am holding in and maybe someday I will be able to share and I am sure I would be judged and ridiculed and asked to leave this board for the decision I have made as I am IRL.
So I guess I am saying thanks, for allowing me to vent, and not asking for a pity party or anything just sharing a bit of me.
Also thanks for just being there. you all seem to have bonded in such a way that is so caring and understanding, and am glad to see that there is a place. Gl to all of you. and hope I didn't kill this thread, as I do that in so many others.
i love this board for so many reasons. it's wonderful to have such a diverse group of women who can pull out the snark AND words so comforting and helpful it can make you cry. sometimes even at the same time.
