I'll give it one more try first, Doodle.
I guess it's not just me who thinks a dedicated Forum is the answer.
If you look at the debate over the Benefits forum, with its final decision to 'tuck' (being polite here) it in to Legal, Money etc Forum, the arguments for this proposed Forum are very similar, as is the decision now to put it in Bereavement.
You wake up in the morning knowing that it is, for you, a special day. It would be great to see a place where you can just pop in a one line post, remembering and sharing the loved one you have lost. Then move on...
What you don't want, in my opinion, is to search within a Bereavement thread, where it seems a lot of ongoing support is given and friendships develop over, possibly, a long time. As happens on the other threads here, fair enough.
I saw this idea as one where you just post a message saying 'today 30 years ago, I lost my lovely mum' . Not necessarily opening up an ongoing conversation over a period of time.
Like an In Memoriam book, where people can leave a little message and feel better for it.
Yes?
