Sad and Overwhelming I haven't been on YT too much lately. I tend to gravitate towards reading Sad Stories and then it becomes Overwhelming. I read these stories because they do teach a lesson. I want to educate myself with ALL that COULD happen...TJ and Roxy are doing very well - Thank God. But when I read these threads, I always seem to put me and them into the situation I read, I try to imagine how I'd feel, what I would do and then I become sad and I force myself not to even log on here. When I do log on, I tend to search for those threads, I wonder if that baby was found, adopted, made it through the night, etc.. Does anyone else feel this way too! I say prays all day long for these little ones. I finally find some peace in believing that God does have a plan for all of us. :rolleyes: A Happy and Healthy Plan... ...just needed to vent a little! :p |
Oh Nicole, you have a kind heart to seek out such sad stories. But if it is too overwhelming for you perhaps try to read more on the MY YOKRIE forum as they give me the most entertainment/enjoyment. Looking at cutie patutie yorkies of all sizes, shapes and age. :) |
I'm like that in the RIP section. I have a hard time going in there. But now that I can relate to these sad situations. I find myself trying to reach out to them for comfort. |
Awww, sweetie!!! BIG hugs to you! :hug: I agree with Des - you DO have a very kind heart to care so much and to read about all of these stories. I too read them - and pray for each and every babies story that I read :cry8: Although I have to admit, I can't read them TOO often, because I have lost a very dear furbaby (in 10 days it will be exactly ONE YEAR since I've lost her)...and alot of times when I read these stories, I think about her and get soooooooo upset :cry8: I will cry and get EXTREMELY depressed and think only negative, very upsetting things :( So I really do try not to read them that often because I don't want to upset myself. However, I am EXTREMELY grateful that the R.I.P. section is here - because we all NEED it. It is a great place to share your stories and talk through your grief. Alot of us here are going through it, or have gone through it in the past - so we know how it feels - and it definitely is a big help to talk about it. After all, we are ALL here for each other :ghug: But again - I commend you for taking an interest in these stories - you truly do have a heart of gold! :love: God bless you!! |
yes...i feel this way. sometimes i have to take a few days off b/c it can be overwhelming |
Thanks for all your kind words and advice. I have spent the last 5 mins. in the My Yorkie section - GREAT Pictures, some made me laugh!!! Thanks! ...I only went into the RIP section one time last year, I read a story that was very sad a freak accident...I never went back to that section again, I was too upset. |

My way of dealing is talking to my husband.... when there's a very serious thread....(like the last few days with Ella) he'll even ask me how things are.... today he took one look at my face and knew the answer. :( :( I never used to be too religeous ....but I sure have said lots of prayers since I've been a member here.:( This sounds so corny.... but at night when the girls & I are in the yard .... I think about all the suffering dogs in this country and they get a little prayer...especially puppy mill dogs. In my mind they're too cold or too hot and always lonely. I feel funny admitting that on a public board... but it's just something that's never far from my mind.....I'm better about it though - I don't let things consume me like I used to. |
After reading my above post I sound totally obsessed ......someone asked me once why I felt like I do when our country has such a bad homeless population and so many poor :( ....I think I feel like I do because WE do this to dogs. All they want is our love and so many are treated like prisoners and abused thru no fault of theirs. The homeless at least have choices....dogs don't. We control their lives. We call them 'Man's Best Friend' but criminals are treated better by far than a huge portion of the dog population. sorry !! man did I go off topic there - |

I'm not an overly religious person either, but I do stop and think all the time how very LUCKY and BLESSED I am in my life! Not only am I blessed with my beautiful furbabies, who I am thankful for each and every day I am counting my blessings for them...but also the rest of my life, my husband and my two sons, whom I couldn't be more proud of...I am a truly blessed person and I do stop and think about that all the time. It is hard to read about these sad babies on here and their families and it makes you want to do something for them so bad, to somehow reach out to them and let them know how much you are thinking of them. I feel the same when I watch the news on TV and there is some disaster or your see people going through so much and you feel so bad for them and only wish in some way you could help. It sure does help put ones own life in perspective! |

the other thing I wanted to add is I think lots of us read the sad things and think how easy it could be us...which is another reason WHY it's always nice to keep up when someone is going thru a really bad time. |
warning Hi TLC! I posted my episode on "sick and injured yorkies" because I didn't want anyone to go through what I did. I put my yorkie in my room so he would not be hurt by anyone or by the large dog that was brought to my house unannounced to me. Well someone went in there and opened the door on her leg and broke it. I will be putting a lock on that door so that no one will do this again. Thanks for letting me share. |
I too tend to gravitate toward the sad stories and here's why. When I had first gotten here, I had just lost my Starr and got such overwhelming love and support. I want to make sure that ANYONE that needs that support gets it, like I did. Yes, I love the happy stuff too:laugh: I just get kind of obsessed that maybe someone might need quick advice about their sick or injured baby and that could make all the difference in the outcome of their situation. Some days my heart feels like it's been scraped raw, and the pain of Starr's loss is once again brought to the surface, but I think it's like therapy. You have to shed a few tears for cleansing and healing to take place;) |
I hope that I didn't upset anyone. I am so happy that there is a place for everyone to share both Happy and Sad stories. I think what I was trying to say, is that, I wish there were no sadnes and no hurting for any baby out there. It makes me so upset thinking of suffering (babies and parents). I am very compationate, I guess that's why I find myself reading those type of threads. I worry alot about these babies (and parents), I pray for them and cry for them. I just wish the world were kinder. :) |
