@jimhd Uh, Jim...men are not the only ones to stuff their feelings. Here is the only place I share much. Loss is a difficult thing. There are some losses one may not fully recover from. I live surrounded by death and dying. 3 apartments opened up in one week. 2 to nursing homes to wait to die and one moving in with her daughter who does not want to see her mother in a nursing home. All tragic losses have me by the throat again. My depression had lifted a little. Now reality has returned. Grief from losses also carries a lot of shame.
