It was a year ago today that I learned that Dearest (Alice) had died.
It was especially bittersweet because we came home from vacation through JFK airport a couple days ago. JFK was the last place I ever saw Alice alive.
This year has been a challenge with me missing my best friend, and the challenges of the site she left behind.
Everywhere in my home, there are gifts and letters/cards she sent, emails I printed out, reminders all over. I’ll see something on TV and think that Alice and I will have a laugh over that – then I remember all over again.
I miss you so much, Alice! 😦

I still can’t believe our Dearest is gone, our menopause heroin, who validated all our crazy, frightening and bizarre hormonal symptoms! Whenever I log on to Power-Surge now, it is with a sad sigh that I utter your name, Dearest, and wish with all my heart that you were still here:-(

Darlene, I know what you mean. There are so many reminders of her, everywhere. I don’t know if I’d have survived menopause without PS and her always right-on words of advice.
Yes, Mary, PS was the lifeboat that helped keep me afloat during the worst of my menopausal storm. So many early morning hours filled with anxiety and insomnia would find me logged on to PS, and as soon as I saw Dearest’s face on the intro page, I was reassured that I was not alone in my suffering.
I am in shock! I have not been on this board for quite some time. Dearest, changed my life! This is terribly sad.
Roni, she changed the lives of a lot of women 😦
