I've learned since coming to this site that the internet isn't completely the dangerous, empty place we are warned about. I've learned that it's a gift to be a part of a group of people who use it as a tool to connect with others of the same interests, & that with time, it truly feels like I've made new friends.
And this past week, I have learned that this is honestly the kindest group of people I've ever had the priviledge *sp* to meet. I want to thank all of you for the kindness given to me in a very, very dark time & tell you that your words have helped me more than any of you will *ever* know. Whether we ever meet "in person" or not, you will always be dear to my heart.
It has been one week since my friend left this world, & with your kind words, it is a brighter day than the one before. I am still sad, maybe even still angry & confused. But with your help and understanding, I am on the road to acceptance & even perhaps understanding. While Blake will *always* be missed, it is a great comfort to know there are people who understand and sympathize.
Thank you my Friends.

    Randa, grief is a twisty, confusing, blindsiding kind of thing. Sometimes, just when you think you're handling everything quite well, the blindsiding part of it kicks you in the teeth. Remember that we are all here for you, when ever you need us, for as long as it takes. In spite of the fact that grief has several different phases, it does not have a time line. We all go through the different phases at our own pace, sometimes repeatedly. We're not going anywhere, so you always have someone you can share with. May God hold you in the hollow of His hand and give you peace and comfort.

    Randa--you have been in my thoughts since I read about you losing your friend. I am so sorry for you, but as big as the hole in your heart is, if he is spending eternity in heaven, then know that he is in a better place than we are. I know that's probably not what you want to hear, but if you have the assurance you will see him again, then that's what is important. That's what sustains us (as Christians)...the promise of eternal life and that we will see our loved ones again one day! Keep his memories in your heart and be there for his family when you can! Do something for someone in his memory!
