Karen, I read this after what TJDavies wrote in the shout box yesterday, 28th about his Dad bringing him some grub. I understand about missing someone who is beyond the veil between they're days and ours. I miss my brother "Rocky" and I never met him. My Mom who is with him now used to tell me he was my guardian Angel. I can only say this. That your Sister was lucky to have someone who cared about her so much. I think that the Karen I have come to know, was luckyto have a Sister, period. I am glad I have and had them. I also think your Sister wouls agree with me, tha having Karen in her life, made it a better life. That they still speak to us and influence us from beyond the veil is perfectly natural for me to accept. One the thing about having family members descend from native American culture, they know the way home. Also, that when dealing with grief, I have found that it may leave me alone from time to time, but it never actually leaves. I wouldn't want it any other way. Shedding a tear over someone I love is never a tear wasted. HUGE HUgs! Veronica Beta.

Thanks. So far I hadnt found any that didnt look rediculous, or they didnt fit my bust size

Don't know if they exist, but I wonder if there are men's one piece swimsuits. If I find it, I will let you know.

Thanks Veronica

Thanks Karen, I'll bear it in mind when my time comes...............I'm also discovering the cost of Clarins beauty balms, but hey they seem to work. I never thought that tampons would be needed? I have 2 fully transgendered friends, I'll have to run this past them, one of them had their surgery in December so I imagine she'll also know how long it takes before things get easier, while it's still fresh in her mind. Please keep up the postings..... Cheers, Eve

Dear Lisa, Rejoice when I see a woman take such good care of her mother, and stays in touch with her sister. Have three brothers and a half brother. Have no sisters. Have no children. Wonder how my life could have been different have I had children or a sister. Of course, it could be heartbreaking. They will be losing a son and a brother, but gaining a daughter and a sister! May God bless your family! Your friend, Monica

I agree with Karen on all counts. Especially with best wishes on your wife providing support. I don't recall how much you have already told her; I assume this won't be a total surprise. The advice I hear over and over again is to be patient and kind with her. Show her that you are the one she fell in love with regardless of your gender, and that as you start your transition you are even more calm, supportive, and interested in what's going on for her than you were before. After all, you've been aware of your gender issues for a very long time and you need to give her time to catch up. Hugs, Emma

I am so happy that your mother and sister are supportive to the beginnings of the life you are on a journey too. It is so much better having core support when travelling down this path. Best wishes on your wife being supportive.
