I wanted to echo Brindle here, PI. I read your list and had tears in my eyes. I started to respond, but nothing seemed enough and sharing my own list felt so devastating, I couldn't bear what I was typing and I stopped.
I am so sorry for your pain, for mine and for all the others on here. ♥
This has always been a nearly 100% supportive site. I deleted my post because I'm feeling overwhelmed by life right now. Sometimes acknowledging the grief helps; other times, like now, doing so threatens to pull me down deeper. I am concerned about being swept away by depression.

I’m sorry you felt like you should erase your post. If you are like me, perhaps you felt too vulnerable to put it there and not see any responses yet.
I wanted to answer... but my list of grieving has too many items on it. Maybe I should have just said that to you, in case you felt alone. Big hugs.

I understand.
I have a history of depression, and understand where you are coming from.
I understand
I’ve been there before, too. You’re being smart. Keep taking care of yourself.

I completely understand
That makes so much sense and I have been there as well. Sending hugs and care your way.
