The DU Lounge

complicated, incredibly beautiful world, so do not beat yourself up that you cannot. Fortunately, you have a large system of love out there in the physical world, just as you have a large system of love here in our little section of the virtual world.

I think contacting mental health support is a good idea. But may I offer a couple of ideas for the vastness of your grieving? You and your wife have been going through so much recently, in addition to the daily and ongoing horror show going on around us. Stress piled on stress, never-ending. Your Jona was always there, one stable, sane point in the chaos. Suddenly, that stable pillar of support is gone. Of course you are grieving.

Thank goodness for your beautiful young friend. For love. For friends. And thank Goddess for you, dear friend.
