Hi Karen,

I totally understand your position, and that is actually exactly why I suggested a seperate category, so that those of us who have lost have a place to express these feelings without causing fear or anxiety in those who are so bravely fighting. I of course respect whatever everyone thinks is best. I want nothing more than to be encouraging and supportive here and in any other way that I can be, because that is what me and my mom needed during our toughest times, but some days it just feels good to share the grief that only some of us know...
