Does anyone know what happened to Jennifer ?
She was always such a great inspiration on this forum and to me ! Just noticed she has "deactivated " herself :(

I noticed that as well...she had been quiet for a few weeks then "poof" she was gone. Hopefully she decides to come back...we miss you, Jennifer.

There could be a bunch of reasons - too bad, I always enjoyed her posts too!
One thing to keep in mind, we all have a really strong focus on the numbers here. I get it, I do too. Especially when we are in the first phases of the surgery. However, sometimes we can get fixated on the numbers and it's not healthy, with the 'progress bar' and logging losses. I understand if people need to take a break from that.*
*Not saying this is what happened to Jennifer

I just hope she's doing okay. I worry sometimes about people who disappear from the forums. Yes, there are times when I'm quiet myself, but I'm here and reading and occasionally interjecting. When folks don't come round, and then deactivate, I have to hope that they are doing okay and/or that they are not spiraling into depression or other problems that they cannot deal with. I am in no way assuming that Jennifer or anyone else is in this position, but I know I have seen it before and it worries me that they do not reach out for help. Fingers crossed that she is doing just fine on her own and merely needs a break for a bit. If you're reading this Jennifer, we're thinking of you!
