Received A Phone Call For Advice

Have been on the phone for the last hour with an old friend. She lost a daughter to suicide about the same time I lost Dustin. She stays busy as a realtor, so we do not talk often. We caught up on what has been going on. She had a few questions for me. And she told me I should be an online grief counselor. I said no thanks, I will help others when I can. But I would not want to do it every day. Was good to hear from her. Now back to a hot sunshine day.

You must have really helped her, for her to say that. I don't think I could do it. But for her. Good Job.

It really does but I am up for it. I can rejuvenate later. My life is all about helping others it seems.

We have leaned on each other over the years. And can go years without talking, then pick right back up where we left off.

@CarolDM the fact that you share that pain and reach out to others with that pain is exactly what the world needs a lot more of!

It ia a wonder to be there for your friends. But I would not be able to do it for people I donĀ“t know.

We know each other and losing a child has brought us closer.

Your life experiences and your kind and warm heart make you so approachable when someone needs consoling. I know that first handedly and feel blessed as a result.

I also like to look ahead and enjoy what life has in store for me. At times it is like squeezing blood out of stone to find some meaning when normal life is held to ransom!

Being a grief counselor would be too much stress and strife for you.
