3. I still grieve. I'll always remember the night Dec. 21st 2006. The group on DU was there for me.

I'll always remember DU for that moment. I still find it hard to believe how they all were there for me. I lost Bart, my cat. My brother. We spent every hour of every day together for 11 years.

I think the term grieve has negative connotations that I don't like. It's not neurotic grieving. It's about the memory of true love. I can never stop grieving.

I just wish it didn't happen. But that's what makes us being here together so helpful. Knowing each of us has the loss somehow makes is a little more bearable.
