Judy, I agree. And I wonder if Adrienne might benefit from talking with people who have been through something approximating this awful loss. I know loss leaves a lot of my clients feeling furious and alone. Talking with others who have had experiences like theirs has seemed to often help. Better than talking with people coping with pet loss!

This whole thread brings to mind a bigger picture. Loss is so personal…is there a benefit to “knowing” you are leaving or going to lose someone or is there a benefit to going quickly without being able to say what needs to be said? I don’t pretend to know the answer.

Judy you were right on with your responses and it will make me think twice about grief and loss in general.

Thanks for all you do and for giving folks a place to discuss the undiscussable.

You are so right, Judy. Adrienne is justifiably upset with people’s responses to her pain. But I think she needs help to avoid becoming bitter and angry at those who wish her well but have no idea how.
