    Two months yesterday

    Hi, Just looking for someone to talk to. I feel so depressed the past few days. I mean I've been sad and have my moments but it just feels like it's taken over my body. I keep picturing Jay when his breathing slowed and then his final breath. I go to work every day and then to go to my...

    A Place to Speak My Truths

    That is what this forum is to me. I am happy for any constructive, supportive things I can do for others but I honestly just love how I can say what I mean here about my own life. People ask me how Brian is, bless their hearts. I appreciate it, and I say he is okay/stable. I may change that to...

    What Happened Here?

    I know I am 100% guilty here also for not posting a lot, but what the heck happened to everyone discussing PLS? When I joined this forum in April of 2008 it was the place to be. I remember refreshing the PLS page every hour and there were new comments or topics. Now the last post was from 07/02...
