Yes, condolences help....whenever someone suffers a loss....some of my posts may be longer than others, simply because I have been in a similar situtation and maybe by sharing that....will help someone feel a tiny bit better.
When Trace died...I appreciated each and every post or pm that was sent to me. Some people I "knew" and some I didn't...but how nice that all felt a need to express their sympathy.
And Teri when my mom died....I opened the cards, but didn't read anything but who they were from. I saved them all...and a couple of years later read through them. One friend had written something so wonderful....that I felt guilty for not commenting on it immediately....but two years after, I did.
To IDenise, I am truly sorry about your mother's passing, and am glad you found some comfort here.
