Hi Susan,

It was good to hear from you - I was wondering how you were doing. I'm sorry to hear things are still a bit rough for you at the moment. Don't worry - we have all been there (and are still there in some ways). It is only natural that you are still feeling emotional. We can all understand what you are going through.

I can't give any better advice than what Sarah and Tootie already have, but I will agree with them...grief is different for everyone. There is no right or wrong way to grieve - do what feels right for you. There is no set time and (unfortunately) no guidelines on how to get through it. Like you said, it has only been a month so it is normal that you might still be feeling sad. Give yourself all the time you need.

I hope that you are able to work through this. Please come and chat whenever you need to and we will try to help you out where we can. Just talking about my feelings has really helped me. Having somewhere to vent where people understand makes a big difference.

Wishing you luck and strength for your appointment on Monday. :-) Let us know how you go.
