FRIENDSHIP LEVELS
Sorry I tried to cut this but can't get it to work???
Almost 2 years have passed since M's death. I can see how the death of a child is hard for people/friends/family to face, but suicide it's still a forbidden topic. Suicide still comes with judgements and fear. It puts a target on your parenting, on your every action. It's an isolator.

Crisis times do seem to reveal which friends are true ones, and which are friends only under the "right" conditions. The process can be very painful--has been for us over the years, at any rate. (In different circumstances, obviously, but we relate to the general feelings.)
How can anyone expect you to "get over M"? That's... God, that's a horrible thing to say. Your life won't ever be the same. You can go forward step by step, yes, find a new way to move in the world, but that world has forever changed.
Are you sure that you can't talk to Terri? Have you checked that out with her? She may not want sheltering, even if things are difficult for her too. I know that I don't know her at all, and I don't even know you that well, so of course I don't know what fits for the two of you. I just know that I've tried to shelter people in the past, only to learn that they would have welcomed it if I'd shared more.
We still hope that you can cry, for your sake, for the release.
