Take notice, please.

You are not only here in your own right, you have a great deal to contribute here. Paradoxically the recent grief and experience of parachute free flying will strike a chord with many people.

Some of those people walked your road in the past. Some are considering walking it right now. None will be put off by the fact that you "just" hurt yourself. But some will want to talk to you about the way they feel.

It will take one hell of a lot of inner resource from you to do this, and I think you are man enough for the job. In the early days I suggest you do it here, on the board, rather that through a chat program, since, at foirt, the emotional drain may be high, one on one.

Are you up for it?

I've been where you are. I understand. But now it is tome for you to understand something. Within the pages and frames of this special place no one is going to be judgemental. We all make mistakes. We learn from them. We all do.....

Each of our individual circumstances got us to this place. But that is not important. What is important is that we, through whatever quirk of fate, have made it here. Now we have each other to lean on and we are here for those yet to find us as well.

It is hard to look at the abyss and walk away. But with a kind word. With an ear to listen.... It can be done....



Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...
No, never alone........  [message #7127 is a reply to message #7119] Wed, 15 January 2003 02:37 Go to previous message

Stephen.......many of us have been in that same dark place but the sun does shine again and laughter does come again. Trust me........trust us.

Listen to timmy; listen to Marc. They are so right. Everyone will be here for you.

"None of us can help the things life does to us.
They're done before you realize it,
And once they're done
They make you do other things,
Until at last
Everything comes between you and what you need to be,
And you almost lose yourself."

You're safe.......We care!
Love,
smith
