I'm back after a long absence and major life trauma

Hi there, folks. Especially to my fellow players and GMs: I'm sorry. I don't yet want to go into too much detail because I'm still a mess, but I'm coming back slowly after the worst loss of my life. Literally, the most important thing in my world was taken away. We're working now to make it right again, because there was a grave injustice done, but right now, it's very hard. Even just trudging forward until that wish comes true is among the most difficult things I can manage.

I'd like to start writing again, have some kind of distraction. PBP might be the answer. I dropped out of all gaming for months and months; I haven't done anything fun. Not PC games, not PBPs, I couldn't read books, or listen to music. I've felt like a total zombie, and in many ways, it feels like I am. So I'm sorry that I disappeared.

I hope everyone else is doing better than I am and I am also hoping that I can maybe find my way back to something I used to enjoy and get in some good gaming while working toward my all-important goal.

Thanks for listening, and may the sun shine on all of you.

Blessed be.

-Jessica

Welcome back. Not sure if we were in any games together, but glad that you are okay or as okay as you can be. We all have real life take over from time to time, sometimes it is something good, others, not. My condolences on your loss, what or who ever it was. When you are ready start looking for that game that will help you get back into a happy place, at least for a little while. Babs

Thank you, and likewise. I'll have to try to join one of your games, too!
