atomswifey is also owed an apology from the "free thinkers"
There has been a benefit gained from the life of this thread.
It has subtly shown that we each have aspects of our individual lives that makes us who we are.
The premature loss of a loved one is a very sad act of life and for those of us who have been lucky enough not to experience it; does not preclude our ability to relate to the experience.
Grief makes us stronger only if we accept that it is a process that provides us with an opportunity to face the reality of the situation head on and take it in our stride. As cold as this may seem; it is necessary if we are to grow from the loss.
Anger and denial are also aspects of the grieving process emotionally and serve to practically aid the recovery process. However, blame is neither acceptable emotionally or practically. It demonstrates that you have not recovered from your trial.
If you feel the urge to stand on a mountain and scream at the world then great; do so... but as you climb to that point.. silently look at the veiw around you.. You may find within that veiw, the answer to your pain. The forums are not your mountain.
You have much to learn AW and many here have tried to explain that to you. Many of us have years of wisdom beyond your own.. irrespective of what that represents to you personally.
Perhaps you need to use the power of time more than the courage of rage to gain the true benefit of having your own life. I don't know you, nor do I need to; to understand your pain. But I understand the destructiveness of your anger. We don't need it... You don't need to impose it upon us. Deal with your demons and find balance again in your life; so we can know that there is some benefit to knowing you.
