A Question Options

[Ruth]

Hello again. Things aren't going as well as I had anticipated or hoped. It's been 10 days since my little boy passed away, but while I'm in the house I'm still not getting more than a couple of minutes relief in any one go.

I guess this is 'normal', and it is early days yet but it is making life very hard. I'm not looking forward to going home tonight - why are the evenings so very long when they used to flash by! I'm not looking forward to the weekend and the only thing I'm looking forward to at the moment is the passing of time knowing I'll feel better eventually.

Anyway, I noticed some telephone numbers for pet bereavement counsellors and was wondering whether I should try one. Have any of you have ever used one and did you find it helpful? Believe me, this is sooooo not me and if I had someone to talk to I wouldn't entertain the idea. To even consider this seems barmy and makes me cringe. I certainly would never mention it to anyone else for fear of being locked up!

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Hi Ruth:

I'm happy that you called and left a message with a grief counselor - but you're right, since they are all volunteer,
a call probably won't come for 24-48 hours.

In answer to your question with regard to MarcDavid, and how this site came to be.....

To get the "full story", please put the following in your computer -------->> lightning-strike.com
I'm not sure why I can't make it "clickable"....

And, you will come into a graphic that looks like a "lightning strike"....(and, it sounds like a "lightning-strike")

There, it tells all about "Tribble", or "Tribby-Dog" Cohn, as this tabby was affectionately known...
This was MarcDavid's precious cat, who died on 1/1/96.
He was in his life for 13 years....

I believe that, at that time, there probably was no where for MarcDavid to go, to try and find some healing,
with respect to losing his beloved "Tribby-Dog"....(because of his size.....HIS PICTURES ARE PRECIOUS)....

So.............he decided to come up with a site where people could receive "lightning fast assistance", after losing
their beloved fur-kids........... (actually finned, scaly, winged.........any kind of animal friend)....

And, he's also a very special guy..... (But, then coming up with such a wonderful site -- I guess that we all knew that!)

I hope that you will hop onto that site, and read all about the start of lightning-strike....

Take Good Care, my friend...
You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Love, Denise

P.S. You can always reach MarcDavid at LS Support
