Tabitha,
> It was either learn to grieve, or end up like her (suicide).
Just how does one learn the art of grief? My inability in this area contributed tremendously toward my depression.
>I think not being able to grieve was the big thing feeding my self-destructive behavior.
We all have our own ways to compensate, huh? Mine was focused internally for *way too long*.
> So Ted is 40 huh? I feel less alone.
YIKES! Don't tell anyone!
>I thought everyone in Silicon Valley was 20-ish or barely 30-ish, like where I work.
They're the ones who get all the press. Most of the real work is done by those between 35 - 50 years old. If the young population can't prove their worth, they have to leave quickly because it is just too costly to live here. If they indeed prove their worth, they will be multi-millionaires well before age 30 and they can do whatever they want.
