help the public except online in one way or another. Wish I could but I can't help people in person. Count your lucky stars. From someone who has been through hell to another, suffer and mourn every loss. Cry. You get endorphins at the end of a cry. As a child you did it when you were hurt and were then pure joy again. You feel the loss when you cry and then reconnect to a new reality at the end and you are deeper and wiser and can soon access all the memories and laugh and wiggle both your ears. ...... remember the cracks are how the light gets in. And when you are going through hell, keep going.

You have much to be proud of. You are lucky. To be a giver in a world of takers is lucky indeed. You could have been born one of them. Love your posts on the DU.
