Let Me Elaborate A Little... Options

[Romeo's_daddy]

I have not and will not single any members out with regard to my response to Baby Hannah's Mom. I feel bad that some members have been offering apologies. I do not know your personal situations. Part of me feels like maybe some of the people I've made reference to don't have anyone else in their lives. So when their babies die, they are truly alone. I am lucky. I don't have friends or a girlfriend, but I have my parents. Perhaps if I didn't have them, I would be one of the members that I recently made reference to. But what I also know is that a lot of good advice is given here. After Romeo died I remembered that advice and used it to help myself. I think maybe that some of these members may be getting caught up in their emotions and perhaps not giving enough thought to some of the advice they have received, and using that advice to help themselves heal. I don't know, I'm not in anyone else's head, but I know what's worked for me. Don't get me wrong. I'm not all better. I still cry, I still hurt, and I'll always miss Romeo. But I cannot allow his loss to rule my life, because that is not any kind of life at all and I know Romeo wouldn't want me to be a prisoner to my grief.

Interesting thoughts on this forum.
I came here because it gave me comfort to know that I was not alone in what I was experiencing. I do have family and friends for support. Sadly, some do not understand the relationships we develop with our pets. Everyone on LS does.
Some days I come here to talk about my boy. Others it's to hear someone else's story. Always it's to know I am not alone in my grief.
Whether or not posts receive replies it is comforting to know LS is here for all of us.
