Welcome!! oufthelionsden, will hubby be posting also? I have deep feelings for what you are going through, as NE (my wife) stated, we age going through a very similar thing, right now. One of the two elders who showed up Monday is my cousin by marriage, we became very close, so I thought.
Hang in there it does get better, and better and better and better,. It is very good that you have support, each other. If you ever need to just talk please feel free to PM us. NE and I have been associated with this crazy religion for over 40 years. We understand there are times for private contact. Please feel free to do so.
Welcome to the journey that is the rest of your life's.
Affectionately: Brother of the Hawk (I will surrender my mind no more, forever)
