and not the kudos forum where I could post and ask for hugs....... but someone on another site that I liked very much passed away very suddenly several days ago. I can hardly get my head around it and I can't grieve because I have company who thinks it is ridiculous to grieve for someone I've never met, only know online.

He was very vibrant, was battling medical concerns but in no immediate crisis. He simply laid down to nap and didn't wake up. An aortic aneurysm is what they are saying. His partner found him. He was buried today.

It is killing me holding it in.

I almost cancelled my therapy session for this week since I was having company and I'm so glad that I didn't. I may just sit there and cry the whole session.

Thanks for listening.
