I live in a rural area ...... there are no support groups of any kind, really ... I can see how it would be helpful though. It would be very, very hard at first I imagine. I should call someone in my family but it's so late here. If I can just get through this night, I'll be ok. Just had a bit of a panic attack like I always seem to. Thanks so much, murielm99.
