I visited the website and of course got all teary eyed. Do you think that knowing that you're not alone in this helps? Yes, it helps to know that someone understands the emptiness I feel but at the same time, it's so sad that there are so many of us.

I've watched a few of the Redbook videos and WOW.

It does help to know you're part of a community.

Happy ICLW!
