Re: Words That Hurt - For Real Options

[Guest_la77_*]

I am starting this thread even though it is related to an existing controversial post. I want people to see it here, especially the people who run this site. They may delete it at any time they see fit.

I don't call my animals "furbabies". I don't believe in the "Rainbow Bridge". I don't count the number of hours it's been since my dog died, nor do have the att*itude that I will never love another as I did her. However, I tolerate all the opinions and att*itudes of the people here, because the intent of the site is to help each through a difficult time. I accept with grat*itude all expressions of sympathy.

I do believe in "closure". I do believe in a "better place", although I do not know if I will see my dog there. I want to heal, and I need the positive input of others to do so. I have my own mind and choose to accept the ideas that I agree with and dismiss those that I do not.

This IS the place where people should be able to express their feelings. However, this should not be the place where you express your feelings with total disregard for others who may be reading them. This is a place for healing. Some people NEED to believe that there's a "better place." Some people WANT "closure." You can disagree, but don't blow people away with inflammatory statements. It riles people up. It hurts people.

I will not be returning to this site, and I would not recommend it to others that need healing. It is much too negative to be conducive to that. Many of you should consider therapy. I say that with love and sincerity.

true it is a place to express ones feelings, to get it all out and not keep it bottled up inside. that is exactly what one member did expressed his feelings. i dont think he had total disregard for others. i did not see or read it that way. postings have no tone..therefore it can be taken anyway a person reads it. plain and simple. i think he did a fine job of expressing himself and how he felt at that moment. he has posted many a times before and not once have i ever taken him out of context. he is a very intellegent man and a very articulate writer of his feelings. i have learned alot about myself from his postings. but to each their own i guess.







your entiltled to your opinion as well as others here are ent*itled to theirs.

i wish you well in your journey of life.
