Life's rough patches

[grimcognito]

Hello and thanks to the people who've been so kind as to ask how I've been while I dropped off the map for a week and a half. (Not from LJ, but mostly skype buddies, since my updating schedule on my LJ is less than constant.)

*giant hug* Thank you. I'm so sorry you've had to go through this as well, and three times too. I'll be sure to talk about it if I need to, and I appreciate the offer to listen. The same goes for you, if you ever need an open ear, feel free to just let loose and either send an email or catch me in the chat (whenever I manage to get back on.)

I'm all too familiar with the 'what if' thoughts, every person at the funeral had their own, and my mother said it best: "When a person is in that state of mind, that far gone, there's not much that will change it. They may not do it that day, but another day would be just as hard and it's just a matter of when."

Maybe not the uplifting speech of hope most people like to say or hear, but it's the truth. I wasn't all that close to my aunt, since I only got to see her once every five years or so, but I did like her, and I was really hurting for my mom, who is so strong. As I said, I can't imagine what kind of wreck I would be if it was one of my own sisters who killed themselves, certainly not holding it together as well as my mother and grandmother managed.

Thanks for the awesome support and love. I'll be sure to catch you on skype when I manage to get on at a reasonable hour. :)
