I cry when other peoples pets die or even when they die on TV. I even have to be careful with show on educational TV such as "Animal Planet". Those animal cop shows and rescues...things like that can quickly send me spiralling doward in to the depths of despair. I am tired of seeking the reason why I am so sensisitive to the death of animals and so seemingly insensitive to the deaths of people. I could watch people on those horror shows get chopped up for hours and it doesn't bother me (sorry squeamish anti-horror people)...but if I even think that a scene is going to rear its ugly head and show the demise of an animal...I will change the channel. In light of all that has happened here, and I have expressed here through the year & one have I have been here, it is time for more answers, answers that I can not achieve here despite all the wonderful help & people that have been here for me. I have therefore elected to seek a "professional" to help me come to the answers to the many questions on my profuse grief with my babies that are still yet...unanswered. I will attempt to share what I have learned (if anything) with you all here, Maybe I'll finally find out why I am such a big baby when a small loving creature through no fault of its own dies and leaves me crushed beyond the description of all words.
