    My sincere condolences Diane. I read in recent literature that The American Psychiatry Assoc stated "suicide survivors, like you and me, experience a "catastrophic" experience." That sums it up. Glad to read you are walking it solo. I hope we do meet on the way. Serendipity if we do. Buen camino.

    Hi Karen I have to agree with you on the forum addiction. It's a magical- learning-time -well-spent -Odyssey before the real thing. I too am hooked. I believe the value of the forum beats time on the road. That awaits us in Spain. All strength to you and so sorry about the loss of your partner...
