Just floating this idea - I have no strong feelings one way or the other -

However, after all that has gone on with remembering Phoenix, I was wondering whether people might like a dedicated space to acknowledge sad and significant days for them and get support if they need it.
We often come across people saying 'I lost my family member/family pet etc x years ago today.
This could be a meeting and sharing place for us, if we feel the need. A simple acknowledgment where some may not visit nor read the Bereavement thread routinely.

An Argy Affiliate, newish, as was I at the time, became a close friend. She too revealed that she had terminal cancer and sadly died during her time with us, shortly afterwards.

I would like, too, to remember her here a year on.
Would this sort if thing be appropriate?

Bearing in mind that it seems to be a case of 'one in, one out' with HQ at the moment, which forum would you be prepared to exchange for this one?

Thank you all, and to Doodle for summarising so well.

I think that if I woke up to one of those 'significant days' and wanted to share, I wouldn't think to go to 'Bereavement', rather a mention in the equivalent of Mick's Good morning thread.
I will report this back to HQ and see if tbere is any movement to be had.

... late to the party, as usual.

Another 'yes' from me.
