Title: To all the supporters
Post by SommelierCH on Jan 30^th, 2003, 9:03am

We ALL need you.

For those of us with very little support or understanding around us, seeing people like you, out there, that care and learn and understand, really helps….it really helps.

Clusters are a very solitary, lonely experience. When it happens we don’t want company. But, when it’s over, you are still there.

All of you are amazing, and you have my deepest respect.

You have helped me, and I thank you,

David J.

Nice post David.

I agree. Without this place (and my bra) I would have no support at all. ;)

Margi, cootie (and Suzy’s bra),

I’m glad you understood. With one month PF under my belt, I am seeing the big picture differently. When I was in cycle, we were all equal, we were the Cluster family. But really, us Clusterheads are here because we have to be here, you choose to be here. When I read about Barbara and Ralph and Jill, I am so uplifted that I cry. The main point I’m trying to get across, is that you are not just supporters (is that the best word?) for your spouse, partner or friend, you support ALL of us, you are a “reality check” during times of pain. You are all, invaluable.

Peace,
David J.

Sommelier,

"What the heart thinketh, the mouth speaketh."

Thanks for your words.

And huge thanks to everyone for your support!

What cootie said was that even supporters need support. I agree.
Until I found this site, I frequently thought (to myself with teeth gritted) that there is no support for supporters.
Finding this site has changed all that.
I have been helped by people who were suffering, other supporters and their supporters! Its a family for sure!
Ready, willing and (most of the time) able
