Shellon-

Welcome, I am so sorry for the loss of your precious daughter
Aliyah. We did not get an opportunity to talk on Wednesday, I hope
to see you again next month. I am so glad that your neighbor told
you about SHARE and you were able to find a place where you felt
understood. I can completely identify with that feeling. Wednesday
night was also my first meeting and I just lost my son Gavin in May.
Each day continues to be a struggle, but I have to believe that one
day I will start to heal. Take care of yourself, I hope to see you
again next month.

Amanda
