Support And Comments On This Forum?, None for ME! Options

[OnAMission]

I just joined and I thought that this forum would be of some help...mutual for others and for me.

I've made several comments of support and aired my grief in replies to some others on this forum. Yet only ONE person has responded and commented. I've commented and replied on several others, though, and have yet to receive a comment or be acknowledged.

Thank you Snapdragon for YOUR support and words of comfort. However, even the forum moderator has never commented on ANY of my responses or posts.

Perhaps I need to start a new topic....I don't know and so I don't know where I went wrong here. But, I didnt' want to start a new posting immediately and just wanted to try commenting and replying to others twho had posted and were grieving as I was.

I had such hopes for this forum...and in my grief, the ONLY person who has bothered to respond and comment back has been Snapdragon.

Thank you, Snapdragon for that..but I will likely not be posting any longer. I will share my grief elsewhere....and likely drop off the forum....

Hi, OnAMission, please permit me to add my sincerest sympathies in the physical loss of your beloved Mission, and please let me try to add my reassurances that each of us here do understand what you are going through, and we are here for you.

It truly is best to begin a topic of your own - - when you are ready. It's perfectly okay to share your grief on other people's topics, but those topics belong to the individual people who are going through their own grief journey, so the responses will be primarily focused for them. And the people who are the author of those topics will be the ones who will reply to the people who post on their forums. When you are ready to begin a topic just for you and your beloved Mission this will be much easier for people to offer you the individual support, encouragement, and comfort you need as you travel your personal grief journey.

While clincial professionals recognize that the grief journey for a beloved companion is the same as for a human family member or friend, our world in general - - and sadly, sometimes the people who are closest to us emotionally and geographically, do not. I assure you, OnAMission, that each of us here DO understand what you are going through, and we are here for you for as long and as often as you need us.

I hope better understanding how the individual topics function helps you, OnAMission. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, OnAMission, and once again - - please know we are here for you.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Thank you Moonbeam and everyone else here. I greatly appreciate it. I actually shared "my story" ....or the ending of the story with Snapdragon on the topic forum she had. So, I will have to gather my jumbled, grief-striken thoughts and, in good time, write something here about my beloved Mission.....
