Hello, this is the start of thread 6.
This is a thread for all of the lovely women who are going through the difficult process of bad news to acceptance.
The idea is it's a place to go when your friends, family and partners know what you're going to say, but you want to say it all again. Or it's somewhere where you can reveal the most devastating, bleak thoughts to people who will understand. It's a comforting, friendly place to go when your view of your own life, and your most cherished plans are suddenly shattered, and it's a place where your grief will be somehow lightened by the stories of people you've never even met.
The journey's not linear, you can move forward to a week only to find yourself seemingly back at the beginning but you're not really, you are getting through it, the days are getting imperceptibly lighter. It's not about forgetting it's about remembering without too much pain.
