@ihtak46 you're not losing your mind. You are grieving. It takes time. It's a process. You ask if there is something online you can connect with. I say that you are by connecting with us here on Mayo Clinic Connect. I hope in some small way, we can be a support system for you and offer a virtual ear and shoulder when you need it. I'd like to introduce you to @harriethodgson1 who knows exactly what you're going through.
kathi, It sounds like you might want more in addition to the support you are getting on Connect. I invite you to explore books and articles about loss and grief, including some that Harriet has written. http://www.harriethodgson.com/about

Hi Colleen,
Thank you for writing. I appreciate it. I did look up Harriett Hodgson’s articles. She sure has written quite a bit.
I hope I dont sound brainless but I am having trouble connecting with others. Do I click on Grief and Loss to find people who may have written me?
Thank you.
Kathi
