Don - you are quite right. My love and I went to several support groups, and repitition abounded. We finally dropped out. One of the reasons however, is that my love would see other people in stages more progressed than he was, and he would be very depressed after the meetings just to think that some day he would be there. But Bern is right, also. There are many people who benefit from the meetings, and I personally have encouraged several PWP's to attend. Best to you and Vi. Jo Ann
