- On Doubt November 27, 2009Some days, I just don’t know if I can do this. I get lost in the minutiae of trying to organize agendas, calendars, dates, webpages, workarounds, emotional crisis, learning musical parts and generally trying to keep this leaky ship from capsizing on the rock of its own dysfunctions.

Hello.
I have found your site quiet intreging. I was online looking for information on homelessness and for a way to reach people on the streets. I recently had a family member murdered. We (her family) had been searching for her for 2 years – we lost her over 8 years ago to meth. Though we knew she was not attempting recovery, several of us wished to share a connection with her in some form. There seems to be such a huge wall of shame a homeless person or an addict chooses to hide behind – and I can see how we on the other side continue to add bricks to the ever growing wall. However, some of us ‘non-homeless’ people have a great desire to love our family members unconditionally – even when we have to sit on opposite side of the wall of shame. I so very much wished there had been a way for us to connect. I wish for noone else to ever have a loved one die without having a chance to share a message of love. My heart is broken over the fact that a simple ‘I love you’ wasn’t heard.
Do you know of any way where one could find a loved one through the web? – any websites that connect ministries, homeless persons and family members? …if this does not exist, do you see a way how such a site could work?
I would greatly appreciate your thoughts.
Thank you.
A Family Member
