Masks.We all wear them; masks to hide behind, mask to disguise, masks that turn us into super heroes or clowns. We wear masks that face outward, custom-designed to camouflage our inner selves. We wear masks that face inward as a barricade. Grief and loss stimulate us to create elaborate masks....ones that can last a lifetime.

A special welcome to anyone who is new to The Grieving Room. We meet every Monday evening. Whether your loss is recent or many years ago, whether you have lost a person or a pet, or even if the person you are "mourning" is still alive ("pre-grief" can be a very lonely and confusing time) you can come to this diary and process your grieving in whatever way works for you. Share whatever you need to share. We can't solve each other's problems, but we can be a sounding board and a place of connection. Read More

I have been a kos lurker for a long, long, time and was in fear of even signing up to make comments until last week, and now to make my first diary.
