I liken it to family that have moved away .You promise to stay in touch,and for a while you do but then life takes over and you move on.
I left because my bereavment councillor told me i had to step back.When you come back after a while,you don't know people and they don't know you,and although i log in every day i only post on familiar names threads.I also feel concsious of Robs poor outcome in my signature line could frighten new members.I have always been happy to reply to private messages from anyone who needs my help and i always will,its the very least i can do after the support i got,and i keep up with all the old faces on face book without it having to be about cancer.

And of course there is always the island....
