Reverend, I too agree that we need a 👎🏻 button, but the more I thought about it, the more it would cause the forum to degenerate into a Yahoo chatroom.
So best not to push any buttons if you disagree with the post.
So all this grief you speak about…am I incorrect in thinking that the forum, in your view, is one big pity party? I sometimes feel that it could be, although there is much more in the way of actual prostate discussion and information.
But because men are reared to be strong, stoic and resilient, it’s good to have an outlet with like-minded individuals; it does help to work through some of the challenges and frustrations. Thank you for that insightful post,
Phil

Actually I don't want a down button either. I'm sorry if I implied that.

I have found the forum very helpful, both for knowledge and for emotion, and I hope my contributions are generally constructive, though I'm quite confident they're not without fault.

I think grief is a normal part of an unexpected and disappointing twist in the journey, and I think we all find our own ways to grieve. People who think strong, stoic, and resilient men aren't expressing grief probably either don't know us very well or aren't listening very closely. Or maybe they're just telling us that so we can maintain our strong, stoic, and resilient posture?!
