You tell it very honestly. How you felt rings through sound and true, it feels real. And that's what stories like these most deserve.
Sometimes these stories just need telling out loud. It can be part of moving on from them, or sorting out your own thoughts on what happened, sometimes resolving them. I hope it works that way for you.
Are you just wanting to tell, or would you appreciate comments on how your story comes over as well, or even on technical stuff?

Lockhart, I can say in all truth that you have touched me very very deeply. I am astounded at your courage and generosity in writing this down and sharing it so openly. You describe my nightmare. You have written it in a very raw, honest, open and naked way. I hope that in sharing it the load on your heart is somewhat lessened, I hope that you have an equally powerful yet glorious experience to balance this one out and fill the hole in your heart a little.

Not easy to do what you have done lh. Are you willing to share this story further? That is - how would you feel that your perspective be suggested for inclusion in the <./>UnderGuide</.>?

UnderGuide Editors Posted Nov 10, 2006
Hello lockhart, as chips said this is a very honest and moving account. A very personal one too. We'd like to make it an <./>underguide</.> entry and give it a place on h2g2's front page for a week.
What this entails is one of our Polishers making a copy, in which they'll sort out any typos etc - they'll contact you about any changes first - then that copy will be on the front page as the UnderGuide's selection for which ever week it goes up. Which should be some time in the next couple of months.
Thankyou for sharing this, it cannot have been easy to write, and congratulations on your UnderGuide selection.
