You are so correct in describing the agendas behind maintaining a ‘ happy’ facade.

The statistics you reference in this post are staggering. I knew some of those figures were high, but I had no idea they were as high as they are.

I am devastated. So many questions and ‘what if’s’. In a support group. Many friends. Family out of state. I’m going through the motions of living. Trying to stay healthy. Devastating.
