Welcome to the Grieving Room...
Tonight's host was unable to post a diary, so this will serve as an "open grief thread" tonight. Anyone needing to unburden or vent is welcome to do so in the comments.
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.
I would like to take a quick moment to put out the current schedule as it stands. There are a lot of "maybe" folks on here - I hope that they will see this and confirm or offer an alternate date.
I also hope that some of you will decide to take the plunge and volunteer for an open date, so we don't have to have many diaries like this one. It's not difficult, and it can be a very cathartic experience to write about grief, and then interact with other grievers. Please consider it.
