i blog, therefore i am
i'm beginning to think that blogging is a big part of what makes my life today possible.
blogging has been my therapy, much more so than my formal therapy. here in our blog is where i work out my grief, my fear, my confusion. and then sometimes, the blog is my group therapy, too, when other bloggers come to my aid.
blogging amongst other parents of dead children has given me a feeling of community. i'm very big on community. this community allows me to feel like my current existence is normal, which in turn becomes self-fulfilling prophecy.
what did i do before i blogged??? oh, that's right - i took medication.
thank you to everyone who has become a part of my online community. i'd be lost without you. :)

I honestly don't think I could have survived the last two months without all of you either. Thank YOU.
I agree. I love blogging. I think I'd be dead in a ditch without it.
I can't believe I didn't start blogging until a year after my son's death. It has been extremely therapeutic to FINALLY be able to "say" things to women who really understand. I don't know how I survived without this kind of support, cause Lord knows I wasn't getting it from anybody!! (DH included in that category). I am so glad it is helping you.
And thank YOU too. There are so many days I get that familiar sinking feeling that has led me into diabolical emotional circumstances in the past but I can say ANYTHING here and be supported, and that slippery slope gains an enormous amount of traction.
Therapists must hate these things...can you imagine the revenue they are losing??
lauralu - I second that. Thank YOU for all of your words of wisdom. Without the people I have met here, I don't know what I would have done. Way better than therapy....and free. I love our little community...fucked up as we are.
