Hello friends! I try hard to post here daily to try and pay forward the invaluable advice and support I received. I try to respond to a few posts at least to help out. However I haven't been here this weekend and may not be much this week. A dear friend lost her battle with cancer Saturday and I'm still reeling. I'm basically doing a terrible job with the grieving process and just can't do more than will myself to work and back home right now.

I will be back soon. I just wanted you to know why I disappear for a few days.
 
Rachel, I am so sorry to hear you have lost your friend. Please take time for yourself and with others who knew her so you can relive the good times and be sad and cry together. There is no "terrible" way to grieve, just the way you need to grieve.

We'll miss you and be ready to welcome you back. You are part of the family here. ((hugs))
 
Many hugs from me too, Rachel. I appreciate your contributions here and look forward to reading your posts again when you return. Take your time and grieve in whatever way you need to. We'll be sending good thoughts your way.
 
Thanks everyone. Hard to believe at this time last week she had just left.

I've finally got some time off work which is helping. Thanks for being there for me.
 
Grieving is a process, not an event. You may find you cycle through some things several times before being able to move on.

Some people go through phases of denial, bargaining, anger, acceptance, and skip around and back and forth among them.
 
I am very sorry for your loss. It is so hard to lose such a close friend. Take all the time you need for your healing heart. You are in my prayers.
