My dear Raw friends...

My apologies for my long absence and for abruptly leaving the forum without explanation. Morn wrote to me awhile back seeing if I was alright, which was a sweet touching thing to do.

September 10th my beloved grandmother passed away. She was 95, and was in declining health, but the decline sped up to a point where she was talking one day and we were calling in hospice the next. She passed after being in hospice care for only two days. It broke my heart, because she was one of my best friends.

After this, and a full-time college schedule, I began to feel like I was losing control again. I didn't just fall off Raw, my emotions led me to eating things that I didn't need, I was just feeding emotional cravings. My depression returned and I lost my sense of "me". I stopped sleeping, so I was prescribed Ambien. I quit taking it after evidently having an hour-and-a-half conversation with my beloved which I don't remember any part of.

I'm still on the Coumadin (warfarin) for the clot in my leg, which I'll have another ultrasound for next month. Not being able to have greens is very frustrating, and I thought I'd be able to handle a mainly fruit way of eating. I've decided to step back and be a vegetarian until I'm able to have greens again. Of course most of my produce will still be in the raw state.

I'm rooting for every single one of you, and hope to join you all again very soon in Raw.

With love,
Corinne

(((((Corinne))))), I'm so sorry for your loss. My great grandmother and I were thick as thieves, and I lost her two days before Mother's Day 2002. I feel your pain. I'm so sorry you had to lose such a dear woman in your life.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know all to well the pain of losing a loved one:

My grandmother passed away in December 2001, just weeks before Christmas...and 5 months before my son was born.

The sad thing was...she was only 62.

I wondered what had happened to you. I hope you're doing ok.

I'm so sorry for your loss. :( You're blessed to have had such a close relationship with such a special lady. I had also wondered where you went, and it's so nice of you to post. I hope all goes well with the MRI.
