Please: May I ask please about your family. Has there been an event that caused this absence of communication. Or is it as many people experience, when your children have grown and are busy with their lives, they forget to remain in contact? Either way, these can be complex issues.
If you are feeling depressed, then yes, this may be a good venue � provided you are comfortable in sharing. However, your local Samaritans are also valuable: 08457 90 90 90.
The word �family� manifests itself in many ways. I gather you�ve noticed from the supportive and nurturing comments in this thread that there is a family that cares.
You are in my thoughts
