Beyond Blue

I can’t get off this friendship topic. My FRIEND James over at Finding Optimism (by the way, we just clarified our status … as fellow bloggers that are friends, meaning he and Anna get a Christmas card and Eric and I get, well, nothing yet) just sent me this great link from the BBC News…

Today I published John McManamy’s tribute to Kevin, a friend he lost to suicide. I wanted to link to Susan Schechter’s tribute, as well, because it not only tells us about a lovely soul that was suffering too much to endure any more life, but also of the small prayer–the glance to the stars and…

I was moved by fellow bloggers John McManamy’s tribue to his friend, Kevin, who commit suicide just six months ago. John has channelled his grief by producing an important suicide prevention video “The Road to Nowhere.” I urge you to visit his post by clicking here. I’ve excerpted a few paragraphs below. [Kevin] had his…

The video post on Monday and other posts on friendship this week have inspired and uncovered lots of topics I hadn’t thought of … like how to continue a friendship after losing a baby. I have heard from my friends without kids that it is VERY difficult to maintain a friendship with someone who has…

I thought I’d include the recent press release about Exhale E-Magazine since my interview with Christina Gombar on the topic of infertility and depression was so popular. To get to the zine, click here. Some more information follows…. Is it possible to find beauty and humor in losing a baby? Monica LeMoine, founding editor of…

This post by John Grohol had me cracking up. I’m including his intro and first three annoying habits, and then you’ll have to visit his site to get the others. I think the only thing I can add to the list is that I didn’t really like it when one of my shrinks asked me…

As I said the other day, I think it’s important to share stories of hope from my readers to give the ones who are stuck in darkness a little glimpse of the light. So here is an e-mail I just received from a reader named Pat. I hope it’s the extra nudge maybe someone needs…

I loved Holly Rossi’s post (at Fresh Living) on how best to break up with a friend. She brings up so many important issues: how to deal with the hurt, what’s the best technique, what to do when you just don’t get it. After I read her post, I have to admit, I questioned whether…

I very much like this comment on the combox of my friendship video: This video post on friendship really hit home. I’ve had a lot of shame about having girlfriendships blow up. Now I can see that they were unequal, unhealthy, toxic, and needed to end, just as many dating relationships ran their course in…
