I'm so sorry to hear about how lonely you are. It hurts like hell when we feel lonely even when we have people in our life who we expect to be helping us.
It could be that they're at a loss for what to say to you. I've been pretty depressed for a few weeks and I had a friend who just disappeared. When I confronted her, she said it was because she felt so helpless, and when she didn't know how to help, she just felt terrified of reaching out.
The onus is definitely not on you, but what would it be like to write to them saying that you're feeling lonely and worried about getting out and how it makes you sad you haven't heard from them?
Keep listening to your inner strength. The strong part of you is strong; call on it when you're feeling weak.
I'm sorry for the long delay. It's been a hard few months. It sounds like it might have been for you too; I'm sorry to hear you were in the hospital.
I guess I think of life as just a form of consciousness that we momentarily have in a big vast endless sphere of existence... so in that sense there's life after death because "life" is just a piece of us.
Why do I believe it? It's belief in its purest meaning, that I go on faith without proof. It makes the most sense to me philosophically. It makes me feel better about making mistakes and about taking chances because I can think of this as one phase and, when it's over, no one will be the wiser.
It is good to see that you can share your experience with others and that you have not given up on life. We have prayed for you, Shannon, and the girls and know that you are all in God's care. I look forward to reading your blogs in the future.
Joe, How wonderful that "Between the Bars Blog" have given so many. Another Blessing for you and for those of us who keep you in our hearts and in our prayers. Spent an wonderful weekend with you Mom and some of the "Prayer Sisters", as always you are in our prayers and we are so thankful that you have been such a witness to so many. Love and Prayers Jan

You sign yourself from"Down Under" Oz(?). I'm from South Africa. It's hard for those of us outside the USA to understand how brutal and savage their penal system is, but you will never regret picking up that pen the first time. Stay strong unknown friend. I salute you. Axel
