4. He's doing fine. They spent 7 hours operating on him, tidied up

several hernias and patched him back together again. He was even up and walking around this morning when I called, though he was still clearly groggy from the meds. :)

6. Recommend it for any type of grief? Loss of pets, for example? n/t

[GreenPartyVoter]

7. Any kind. :^) This is our statement:

"The purpose of the DU Bereavement Group is to provide a support system for members of DU who have suffered a loss. Members joining this group will find a safe place to cry, scream, hurt, adjust, heal, and learn to cope with their loss."

(This could mean people, animals, relationships...whatever it is that is causing us to grieve. My guess is, though, that most people grieving for relationship endings will find a group specifically tailored for that, but they are still welcome here too because grieving is grieving. :) )

8. OK, thank you n/t
