I never post much anymore, but I still read and get much from this site. That said, I wanted to repost part of the mission statement of this organization. You can find this on the "home" page of this website.
I don't think that this organization's mission is to be all things for all people. Someone posted on here that you can't make everyone happy, but you can make everyone "welcome". I totally agree with that. Someone also said that you can't measure grief, and whos to say the grief over losing your spouse is greater or less than the loss of a child?
The managers of this website would have to create a forum in each catagory for spouses, children, partners, friends, etc....just to be fair! right now, the general grief catagory covers everyone.
I think we should even be thankful we even have a grief forum to begin with because no other website has one at ALL. Check ACOR, SLCA, LAF and others. NONE of them have a grieving support section.
My two cents is if everyone can't get along together and post together, then get rid of the grief forum altogether. Just my opinion.
