Wow. There are so many strong emotions on this thread. I wish I could reach out and hug each and every one of you.
Dave, your post brought tears to my eyes. Between you and Mike, I can't help but cry. I truly feel a connection with all of us here.
I lost my dad and some of the emotions are still very raw for me so I can't talk about them yet. The jw bizarro world and the way they handle death and expect you to react to it is too much to go into right now without making me feel real anger.
Suffice it to say, I love you all and my heart hurts for you who are being torn apart emotionally right now. If I can support any of you in any way, please don't hesitate to email me.
