CJ, I am thinking of you. One of the things I'm grateful for is sharing this forum with you. Take care of yourself.

My moms memorial was last weekend. The food really wants to be my best friend right now. I am working to write everything I eat down, and keep up with my stress relief exercise and getting out into nature. I am bouncing around 1-4 pounds above my "official goal bounce range" and really don't want that to become the new me. Its not so out of control, but the stress and sadness do lead to less than optimal choices... eating out with relatives, eating on the run.... I know it can and will change with time... Im just trying to keep my eyes open to what I am doing, and not go into ostrich head in the sand mode which leads to weight gain every time.

CGJ,

Although I only know you online, your posts have been a friendly lamp in the dark for me for a long time.

Rather than mutter much more, I hope you know that your contributions to many people have earned you return support here through the digital ether. And I hope our support and regard for you can help light up some of dark where you are.

Funeral '#2 was today. The love and support from my imaginary Internet friends means so much to me. THANK YOU!

Hey, I am not an imaginary friend! I would love to meet you if you ever make it out of Seattle, down to Portland!

I call my online friends my imaginary friends too. But they are just as dear (and in some cases more dear!) than many of my IRL friends.

CGJ, I am so sorry for your many losses. It is so much to bear at once, just know my thoughts and prayers are with you, supporting you as you care for yourself during this difficult time. xo

Prayers today, for everyone going through suffering and loss. I have healed quite a lot from loss, but I know when it is happening to you it is a raw and horrible pain, causing much suffering. May God Bless and quiet your soul during this process.
