Comments on: An Open Letter http://exhaustedspirit.blogsome.com/2007/12/29/an-open-letter-2/ This is my public hideway where I can speak my peace. and yes I mean PEACE not piece. Mon, 07 Dec 2009 18:34:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.1-alpha by: Exhausted http://exhaustedspirit.blogsome.com/2007/12/29/an-open-letter-2/#comment-292 Mon, 31 Dec 2007 17:24:41 +0000 http://exhaustedspirit.blogsome.com/2007/12/29/an-open-letter-2/#comment-292 Thanks so much for all the love. I'm taking things one day at a time and of course while I'm evaluating my friendships I'm also evaluating my part in their demise. I think that people are so afraid of messing up that they do nothing and that's even more messed up! They know me, I would have said "I'm fine" and thanked them for the call or email. The human connection is what keeps us going and that's why I appreciate my internet family (and internet family in-laws too) Thanks so much for all the love.

I know your pain,having lost both of my grandmother's. But I also know the pain of having to leave a friendship behind. If everything is so one-sided, it's sometimes hard to keep it going. I have been there. Just rely on those who you know love you and cherish you - they'll help you get through the tough times! I am so sorry for the loss of your grandmother!

You are truly a lovely and beautiful person. The loss of a Grandmother can rock you to your bones, and most of us have so much hurt inside of us that we flee at times we should stand strong, be a shoulder and ear or a pair of open arms. i miss my Grandmother all the time. I am truly sorry for your loss and hope that 2008 brings your the peace that passes human understanding!!

I think sometimes people don't come through when you're grieving because they don't know what to say, or they're afraid they'll say the wrong thing. That probably doesn't make you feel much better, doesn't help me much either, but I understand human nature enough to understand that most of us are cowards and avoid pain whenever possible. Even when it's not our own. So we retreat and say nothing, when a simple 'I'm here' will suffice. Via CreoleinDC: I’ve so been there.

I experienced the same type of awakening after my mother's passing. Folks that I've known since high school weren't there for me. Losing someone so special to me helped me to evaluate who would be there for me, and who would stand by and watch me deal with my loss alone. I pray that you find strength and peace as you learn to manage your grief. Visiting via CreoleinDC. I experienced the same type of awakening after my mother’s passing.

My heart sincerely goes out to you. I am so sorry to see that you are hurting and it’s even more confounding to think that the people you love are absent during your grief.
