Bolas 5 #26 January 11, 2008 The fact you recognize all this, this early and are willing to seek help puts you way ahead of most people. Some people never realize this and just live in denial. Kudos. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ImGunnaJump 0 #27 January 11, 2008 Yes, you should absolutely take advantage of counseling. You had already said you made an appointment, and I thought to myself "smart woman". Some people try to avoid it, but you are doing a wise thing by going. Clearly you are paying attention to what you need and are acting on it. Your whole world has been turned upside down and you need to have some help to try to find a way to center yourself. I think it will help you a lot as you work your way through this. I'm so glad the victim's advocate is helping facilitate that for you. Good to know your connected to a helpful resource.

turtlespeed 221 #28 January 11, 2008 Quote Thanks everyone for your posts. It is true that I am grieving in my own way but I do need to get counseling. The victim advocate have set me up with a counselor that I will see next week. Hopfully they can begin to get me in the right track. Like I said before, I am not sure if I am grieving properly or not. But I appreciate all of your support that you all have given me. Quit cher whining and S.I.U.C.C.Straiten up - get back in the air . . . And you know I'm just kidding.But - . . . get back in the air anyway.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ragnarok 0 #30 January 12, 2008 Grief is the pain we pay for the moments that make life living. I feel that I will always be sad about losing someone I care about, though I imagine that they would not want me to be. After being in Iraq, it seems to hurt on a whole new level when someone I care about dies. Though, on the other hand, I think I come to terms with death better, even though it still rips my guts out. Over time, things get better and the stab in the side occurs less frequently._________________________________________ Twin Otter N203-Echo,29 July 2006 Cessna P206 N2537X, 19 April 2008 Blue Skies Forever Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
