Welcome to olivejuice designs Message Board

Our goal is to provide a place for you to find comfort and friendship with others who are going through a loss.  After the loss of my daughter, I found message boards to be my biggest comfort.  Many times friends and even some family members didn’t want to talk about it, or bring the subject up.  I think people are uncomfortable with mentioning something like this to the person who has suffered the loss.  It becomes the “elephant” in the room that everyone is trying to ignore.  I tried grief counseling through hospice.  While that provided some comfort, I still found myself feeling alone and very depressed.  Counseling can only be provided “by appointment” and many times when I had an appointment, I was having a good day and didn’t really want to talk about it.  Then there were those times I needed to get my feelings out: and there was no appointment.  The message boards became my “new best friend".  There was always someone there to talk to, and that someone always knew exactly what I was talking about.  I happened to find a woman who had lost her teenage son just a couple weeks before I lost my daughter.  She and I became the best of friends for a time.  We were always in the “same place” with our grief.

I truly hope that this message board can become that place for anyone who is going through a loss.  I hope it will provide you with the comfort it provided me.

Please feel free to come here as often as you need to. I hope in some small way you can find comfort and peace with other people who are also dealing with a loss.

May you all find the Peace you are seeking...
