@Emelia8 I only just saw this.
At the time I lost her no I really didn't have much support, just people looking at me not knowing what to say. And that's the worst .
No I don't work, my family is anything but close especially those in QLD.
I do have my brother and my niece amd nephew down here

@NatureLover I just responded to the one she sent last night. I think I may have screwed up .
4 hours sleep last night so that's ok.
It's good to see you too.
I'm not sure how to fix things

Oh wow, one of the wishes for you that I sent out in your direction last night was for 4 hours' sleep minimum 🙂 I'm really pleased to hear.

Hey everyone 😊
I'm getting the sense there were some misunderstandings on this thread yesterday, which can happen in any relationship! It can be especially hard online as you can't hear someone's tone of voice or see their body language. On top of that if someone steps away from the forum you can interpret that so many ways - one of them is to assume they are hurt.
Just wanted to jump in to say it's fantastic to see people have tried to clarify any misunderstandings that have happened👏👏👏 That is such excellent and respectful communication!
Beyond that I encourage people to experiment with other explanations for someone's silence or absence. They may be busy or getting a tea you never know! And if you're finding it too upsetting not knowing try stepping away from the forums yourself to self-care ❤️️

@NatureLover @Former-Member @Emelia8
Saw the message but didn't show up on my notifications for some reason.
Thanks for what you said @Former-Member but we will figure it out I'm sure, the subject of my daughter is just a touchy one cause the anniversary is soon approaching.
@Emelia8 and I are becoming good friends.
@NatureLover and I are already best of friends and the three of us get along well.

Yes sounds like you will keep communicating and figure it out. Sorry to hear there's a painful anniversary coming up. Take care 🌻
