Christmas Wish List

I know it sounds kind of selfish, but I think I'm entitled to be somewhat selfish at this point of my life and surviorship. I don't think ppl realize just how hard it can be learning to live with new norms al over again.

Robyn, I hope you get everything you want and need. Life is so very hard when you're alone, without that partner to be there for you. And harder when you're trying to find that new "you," the one who's a survivor. I wish you all the best - this holiday season, and always. PJH
