i wish someone had told me a year ago that i would lose this much family in a matter of months. i wouldn't do much differently, i think. but i wish i had been prepared.

i love you eli.

i don't think you can prepare for that kind of loss.

i care about you immensely and i really feel for you in what you're going through. this probably sounds cliched, but are there any support groups where you could talk to others who have experienced the same losses? i imagine once you get into the medical and psychiatric evaluations etc stage, if you decide to go that way, you will have access to a lot of support, but in the meantime...?

someones said to me every once in a while that sometimes the family you make becomes more then the family you come into the world with because the family you make you get to choose. it doesn't make much of anything easier, but it's something to think about. i don't think anyone can replace the people you were born with and have been connected to by choice and not, but we can help you deal. you know, kind of like everyone who's already commented says. i can offer an ear to listen, a shoulder to lean on, some similar experience to relate to you with, good food if you need some, and company to distract and help make healing just a little less painful, if you want to ease the pain a little. and you can take that offer if you want. you're amazing eli. so many see it already, but really, there's so much i can tell no one ever sees. i do the same. bites. promise to not judge you. when you visit, or I visit, we'll talk. tea's good.
