V, you have my full support on this. YOU'VE been amazing to so many here just so you know. I've always had this picture of Lady V walking into a full ballroom, dressed in a glamorous white, sparkling gown, while everyone pauses to watch. There's an air about Lady V that is quite remarkable.

In terms of my difficulty posting here, I think part of it is my un-ease with knowing that the road ahead will be a long one for you. My instinct is to want to relieve you of this burden...but I obviously can't. We talked about this in my NVC practice group, how we tend to want to express empathy by relating our own experiences and sharing how we dealt with it...rather than just sitting with the person and being with them in their time of difficulty. The latter makes us feel uncomfortable, hence we try to relieve it. So I think I am just a bit stuck in that place...and so resort to cheeeeese jokes wink

I'm pretty sure the mooooose will find his way in, too.

Oh wait....
