Thank you!!
The support and virtual hugs you offer me is enough.
This is an excellent forum. I love the "I need a hug" forum, though I'm pretty new here. I've never seen anything like it anywhere else. I can't offer much as far psychic gifts, like you, but I am a great listener. I'm sure I'll spend a lot of time here.
It's hard sometimes, because I feel bad for feeling "sorry for myself", or openly expressing my grief when it comes to my mother. I feel that there's always someone who has it worse than I do. It would be unfair for me to burden someone else with my feelings.
I can't imagine how it would feel to lose a spouse, and my step dad is still having much trouble with his grieving process. He often shares his emotions with me. It's difficult, I'm sure, but it's hard for me to listen without an output as well.
My brother, he's a loose canon and always has been. He's grown up a lot since my mother's death but he's still very much a "poor me" type of character. It makes it extremely difficult to listen to him sometimes too, like he's the only one who lost a mom, ya know? Though, I do try my best to be of whatever support I can be for him. I know it's not easy, especially since he never had the closeness that I was lucky enough to share with my mother. I guess it's like I feel that it would be like a slap in the face if I were to talk to him about my memories because he didn't get that chance while our mother was alive.
Anyway, I understand the importance of having a positive source for output. I think this is a wonderful start.
Thank you again.
