loss

Monthly support group has been a regular part of my life since diagnosis. Some months the topic was very useful and other times I was able to provide help to others. Several of us with slow progression have learned to expect losses. However the past three months have been tough. With the loss of seven regular members we all have to regroup. Some losses were not surprising but others were. Each time we spend a few moments taking about our memories and acknowledge the individual. My thoughts go out to the office staff. Participants in support group are just a very small percentage of the people living with ALS. They have to deal with loss regularly. Each of them are always upbeat in spite of regular loss. Amazing people.
