    i'm looking to be able to connect with others who have lost someone they love to HIV/AIDS complications. especially those who lost their loved one when they were young. i guess people like me. my family didn't talk about it much, they still don't and as a child it isolated me further from those around me and made me feel very much alone at times.

    I haven't lost anyone, yet... A person I used to call dad was diagnosed with HIV a few years ago, but he's still alive and doesn't have the full blown virus, as far as I know..

    Yes, I have. During my early twenties, a few very close to my heart died from AIDS.
    Feel free to PM me anytime.
    *hugs*

    i was eleven... and i remember feeling like other people couldn't understand my loss. i knew somewhere though that there were others suffering how i was... even as my family refused to really talk about it.

    Hmm... google "AIDS support groups" or something like that if you want to find more people, that can relate...

    I'm sorry for your loss.

    I haven't lost anyone yet either, but my uncle has had full blown aids for about 10 years now... so I can sympathize a bit with your pain... I hope your family heals and all will soon be better....

    individuals may heal, but some families never do.
