To all who responded--thank you
SO very much! You have really no idea how much all of your kind thoughts and advice mean to me...they have totally been what I need to feel a whole lot better about life! I'm being entirely honest here!
Unfrotuantely, right now I don't have the time to reply individually to all who responded. I have 2 papers due tomorrow. But I just wanted to drop in by and say how much I appreciate your advice!!!!!!
Thankfully, I feel a LOT better. Of course, there have been times where all of a sudden I just break down and cry. I have also spent a lot of this weekend by myself, alone, so I can think about my Grandpa. While I am doing better, I still feel sad most of the day, but thankfully, it is nowhere as bad as it was the first few days.
I am so very, very grateful to all your responses! I don't know how to express it--just please know that I am eternally thankful to you guys! Especially
Lifesaver, SilverTurtle, Juniorgrrl, Worriedsenior, Vera, Nick, and Rudey...your advice really hit home for me, really helped me feel better!!!! ALL the posters, though, really helped me feel a whole lot better. I thank all of you again for taking the time to write to me
.
Rudey--though you said probably no matter what you guys say will not help me--that is exactly the opposite! I am so grateful that you guys responded to my post, because, and I'm being entirely truthful here--without your posts of support and advice, I would probably be as depressed as I was the first few days.
(I have not been in contact with my close friends this wkend, since they've all gone on vacation/gone to cheerleading/football/baseball camp for Memorial Day.)
You guys will probably never realize how much this has meant to me, but I hope you guys are
proud of yourselves, (give yourselves a pat on the back or something
) b/c you took the time to support and write very meaningful advice to basically someone whom you have never met. Yet, your advice has sincerely, truly helped me heal faster. Many *hugs* to all of you...I am so glad that I am a GCer! You guys have proved to me that even an online community can be just as warm and supportive as your own little trusted circle of real-life friends, whom you confide in and tell secrets to.
I really hope that I can individually reply to your responses ASAP...but unfortunately I think I cannot reply as detailed as I would like until this weekend (finals, SATs). THANK YOU all again, I love you guys!!
Sorry to sound like such a sap, but this has made a HUGE difference, especially since this wkend I had no one to confide in but my family (as I said, many of my friends were out-of-town). Hopefully, soon I can be my normal self again.
P.S. I really hope that I can be there for each of you in the future like you guys have for me!!
