Christy,

I am so very sorry you and your Grandma have to go through this. You are right to seek help afterwards. I never joined a grief support group or took anti-depressants after Heather died, but I should have. I have been functioning for the past year, but that is about all. I realized I need to get back to living and recently started on an anti-depressant. It is good that you are willing to seek help.

Miss Vickie,
What a beautiful post. You have expressed it so perfectly, I have nothing to add.

Take care of yourself Christy.
With love,
Rosie
