Doing it very tough.

18 years ago 0 +0 / -0 406

Keith, I am so sorry. I buried my 15-year-old godson (and dear friend) a few years ago. Here's the deal, and you know it as well as I do. If you cave, you will have one more loss to face, which will diminish your presence when it is needed most. God forgive me for saying it around here, but it's not so much about hanging on to "The Quit;" it's about hanging on to all we've got left. You gotta hang on for the people around you; you let go, you got nothing to offer them. Go find a read Joe Cool if you need another harsh dose of truth therapy. I stand with you, shoulder to shoulder. peteg

Hi Kiwi - I am so sorry to hear about your friend and the loss of their son. I believe that there is no greater loss than the loss of one's child. My sincere condolences....

Wow... Keith - hugs and comfort are being sent your way. Please pass it on to your friends, too. Even in the midst of what seems insurmountable grief, there is comfort - be open to it and it will find you. That is what you need the most right now - comfort and balm for the soul.

I am so sorry to hear of such tragedy, Kiwi. This is a very emotional time for you. Hang in there because smoking won't change anything.
