Hi Old friends and new...
My beloved Ladywolf passed over two years ago now, and Poppers about 2 and 1/2. I could not have made it through the whole process without your help and kindness and friendship. MUCH LOVE to all of you! Now my immediate next-door neighbor, and best friend Mark is dying of AIDS, and I am flailing around all over the internet trying to find a HUMAN loss support group/chatroom to join--with no success, so far. I joined one HIV/AIDS room, but they will not talk about death at all. I feel sorry for them... Does anyone know of a good site to go to for the loss of humans? Which DOES happen on occasion? I send very big hugs. I have become very involved with a depression/bipolar chatroom in the past two years, and hence have not been here much at all, but I think of many of you often, and I wish you so much love and so many blessings! Ladywolf, Lilyput, and Willypuss |

Oh Ladywolf
Pplease take my strength today and every day. Another of God's sepcial beings, another soul-mate is on his way to the Perfect World - with all the terrible grief of the other departures - temporary as they are. Ladywolf, I can tell you from my limited "flailing" around the net that I have not come across ONE support site that is 1% as good as this one. Our family had some MAJOR abuse problems (daughte on elderly dad) last year and I tried a Borderline personality site but the people seemed to care almost exclusively about themselves. Not like here. Could we break the rules a little bit and start a thread about Mark? Give him a wolf-name and we'll be good until we get either cut off or moved to another place. If that doesn't work, how about trading personal e-mails with your best friends and we'll form our very own e-mail support group. It won't be as elegant as professionally administered sites like this one, but it would be filled with people who GET IT. (And I know at least one LS person who is experiencing more than one human departures.) As always, you have our love and strength. Let's talk. Gretta's mom |
