| I finally did it!!! I was able to go to the RIP section, and offer support, and didn't break down and cry. I know loosing a beloved pet is as bad as loosing a human. I know I been wanting to give support, but everytime I'd try to read a post in that section the past 2 months, I'd start crying, and have to leave that section. Lord knows with Adonis being 5 years old, and Venus 4 months, I know I'll be in there one day.....and it'll kill me. I'm single and retired, and Adonis has been my family and my life, for the past 5 years. Better than any spouse I ever had, lol. I'm just glad tonight I was able to offer support, without breaking down, and having to leave. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I'm the same way and force myself to read all the posts if only to support the person who's grieving. But I know what you mean - some of them haunt me for days ....There was a time after bringing box of kleenex to my computer - my husband actually told me to stop reading them .....I had to clarify I don't do it for me - but want to lend someone a shoulder if only for a minute.... but you're so right - I think we all put ourselves in their place ....that kind of loss would change my life too.... |

| I know what you mean. Right after Phoebe died I could not reach out to anyone and help them. But with the help of many other people here on YT. I was finally able to reach out and genuniely(sp) help others as I had been helped. You know that saying what goes around comes around. Well, it isn't always the bad stuff, it is the good also. I am glad that you were able to help someone else in their time of loss. Because we know how much of a differance that it does make. I also look at like this, that is just another step in the grieving process. You are starting to heal and are able to help others now.

| I have to make sure nobody is around when I go to that section. I cry thru it all. I have tears rolling down my face now just thinking about it. But I know how much anyone who has to start a thread there needs our love and support, so it is for them that I do it. I know someday I will have to start a thread, and I also know that I will be able to count on all the members to help me thru the grief. I have already had so much help with the loss of my husband. There are so many wonderful people here, I wish there were some way to have one big gettogether so we could all meet each other. As long as YT is here, I will be. Well, the tears got away from me - gotta go get the tissues. Thank you, everyone.
