Been away for a few days from computer and noticed that something is missing in my life! His profile is still there but he’s missing. His @ response is till there but he’s missing!

I am distraught about this loss in my life and wondering whether I need Grief Counselling? At my age I go to more funerals these days than I have ever been and another loss in my life like this maybe is just too much.

I have just had to open a new pack of tissues to wipe away the tears as I write this. Please tell me someone I have built a rapport up with often talking at length, always there for the whole community and help solve quite a lot of my dilemmas is no longer!

My grave concern is he has been laid to rest and I have missed his eulogy or even worse he was terminated, the grief overwhelms me.

So where are you @elementsbot or is it RIP?

Elements Bot was recycled, he’s enjoying his new life as a toaster oven. 🍞
