Sorry to hear of your family members passing, Katrina. Funerals make me re-evaluate how I'm living my life.

I am looking forward to having time to getting back here. I miss hanging out here.

Katrina, my heart goes out to you. Know that it is normal to feel out of sorts and off schedule following a loss. Just remember . . . to breathe deeply, feel your feelings, and remember good thoughts of your loved ones, as that is what will get you through this time. There is no "timetable" for grieving, it takes as long as it takes. May you find strength in knowing that our MMH family is here for you. Sending you a virtual hug!
