Support Groups
After losing my daughter in January, I was incredibly lost. I know I am not the only one to lose a child, but I still felt incredibly alone. My body failed my daughter. She was perfect, and my body could not keep her in. When I learned what I have, I Googled it all the time and went to see if YouTube had any videos about it. I did find a YouTuber who had it and she said Facebook had some support groups. What did I do? Went onto Facebook and joined an online support group. Here I finally got a taste of something I needed, a community. A place where I could ask questions or simply post my feelings and I would not be judged. There were, of course, multiple regulations, such as no advice about health or medication. And of course, no cyberbullying. Just an open forum for people to talk about their experiences and ask some questions, or have questions answered. I'll admit, it was not enough. I'm usually a hermit with the occasional want to be around people.
