Dis-spelling the 5 Stages of Grief

[cheerleader]

Mike, you are so grounded! Have always admired your clear headed help and analysis, and your obvious committment to the people in your life. You may think that empathy is not your strong suit, but you are so wrong. Your empathy just shows up through wisdom on this forum. If you don't think you are one of the inspirational ones, you are wrong again! ( yikes! Forgive my observations which contradict your own self evaluations!). I think Krissie was a very lucky woman, and your kids will be grounded adults thanks to your purposeful guidance and love! Think everyone here admires you and your contributions. And that's my story, and I'm sticking to it!
Thanks for sharing your way of grieving and what you have learned! As always, it's to the point, clear and beautifully said! Donna
