Thanks. I am still not up to much cheerleading. I did finally get about 1/2 of my appetite back. I hear that's normal. My perceptions are weird right now, because there's the first benefit concert in a week in Seattle and it is taking place less than 3 months after my daughter died. I have done a lot of reading about deaths from mental illness, and it seems that lots of friend/family groups immerse themselves in self-destructive activities after such a loss. The amazing thing is exactly the opposite is happening in my girl's case. Her friends, siblings, and loves have rallied like crazy and are full on involved in raising funds for NAMI via her facebook foundation page , fighting stigma, and raising awareness. I am SO GRATEFUL that all these "kids" are doing something so incredibly healthy and positive to try and save other people from my daughter's sad fate. I'm truly mind boggled, but still... not a whole lot of energy. Swimming is saving my sanity for sure!
