Chat Topic Suggestion: Grief
My mom died New Year's Eve. Today, I am waiting to talk to a Listener about her. I chose the Category "Everyday Life" simply because the other categories didn't seem to fit well. Grief is a sensitive area. Some listeners might not be comfortable with it nor prepared to deal with it. It would be good to be able to choose it as a topic to give the Listener a heads up as to what the guest or member wants to talk about. I hope you will add this as an available selection to the chat topic list. Thanks.
Hi @Abiding
First of all, I'm very sorry to hear about your mom - I can't even imagine how painful that loss must be and the strength it takes to keep moving. I completely agree that a Grief selection would be a great addition and would really help a lot of members get the support they need from people who are prepared and educated to take those chats. I recommend submitting this to the Member Suggestion Box so that the site administrators can see the idea (they sometimes are in the forums, but might miss some threads).
Take care, and I hope you find someone who can support you well. <3
That's a good idea and it's a category that I would readily support if it was added. I put it through the suggestion box also, just in case.
