What made you sad today... - Page 19

Apocalipstic · 10-03-2011, 12:47 PM

Someone very near and ear to me is angry with me and won't call me back or text and I am not really sure what I did and I can't stop crying.

RockOn · 10-23-2011, 09:41 PM

A very brief thought of what "could have been" and how happy I "would have been." I bounced back to reality very quickly, realized and became so thankful for my current happiness ... and how good I have it today.

Another teen suicide. Yes, a young gay teen. The stories never vary from one another much at all- always bullying going on and not a damn adult (professional or otherwise) recognizes how bullying can and does push a teen over the edge. Often, the latest episode turns into the very last straw in a young mind that is so unfinished and afraid. Hell, I'm 60 and remember the emotional roller coaster of adolescence- these people can't?

The first holidays without a dear buddy.

My first holiday without a long time companion.

Venus007 · 12-25-2011, 12:45 PM

My dog Tuesday is a 15-17 year old American Eskimo Dog. I believe today will be his last, Friday we went to the vet for what we thought was a soft tissue injury of his neck and or shoulder. Last night we made a trip to the emergency vet at 2:00 AM because he was having difficulty breathing and was a bit cyanotic. His O2 sat rate was only 91%. They put him on oxygen for an hour and he improved. Unfortunately I could not afford to hospitalize him in a oxygen cage nor start him on IV fluids. I took him home and he doesn't seem in pain but his respiratory effort is disturbing either much to hard or much too shallow and quick. He will not take water so I need to force it, he will not take food, and I let that go. Ms Lily, my American Bulldog, is glued to his side. He is laying on my bed, looking out the window at the squirrels and the birds and breathing the nice cool air. I am so heart broken, he is such a good dog. I love him.

I'm so sorry Venus to hear about your dog. They say the last show of love is to put them down. To not let them suffer, they loved you unconditionally and we should love them back even doing this last show of love. I know that doesn't make it any easier for you right now but I'm sure you would agree it is the thing to do.

I will be thinking of you and the baby today. Give him a hug for me please.

Warmest Regards

Musicman

I am so sorry. It is heartbreaking. There are no words of consolation that help the pain. We love our dear dogs so much. They ask nothing of us but our love and companionship. My thoughts are with you and your pets.

I am so very sorry to hear this. I am glad, however, that he is home with you and not in a hospital- I bet this is a comfort for him. My little guy slept with me on the floor with my Boxer when he was passing- they know and feel what is going on. Poor Lily, too.

So very sorry to hear this.

There has been absolutly no joy in these holidys this year...

I know it will be better next year, but this year? I'm glad that it's mostly done...

I am actually looking forward to the first, so 2011 can be over with..

Soft*Silver · 12-25-2011, 07:18 PM

my mind goes back in time,a few years ago, on a Christmas day, when a warm, sweet, much understood and lonely man died in a fire that consumed his house as he lay sleeping. He had such a softness about him, and wanted only for people to give him time and some attention, for her felt abandoned in life due to circumstances that well, were so sad and tragic. I will never forget this man, and I can still see his smile and his eyes that beamed when anyone made him happy by just conversing with him.

this is a sadness mixed with joy...I am so sorry he is gone, but oh David, my life is so much better having known you...god and goddess bless and may you have finally found the absolution and compassion you so sought here...

Rockinonahigh · 12-25-2011, 08:09 PM

Most of the holidays have been ok,I did celebrate some with folks before the weekend started.Then it started raining and is either raining or misting heavy wich has made the last two days bleary,cold and drab ...not what I expected for a Christmas weekend.All this crapy weather has kicked in a major arthritis issue that im barely keeping in check,this hot spot in my back has effected my left hip and leg but I have managed to get things done anyway....its just the way its goes.I hope the next week is better than this one has been so new years will at least be a dry weekend.

I'm sorry to hear this. Our pets are our children and it's heartbreaking to be forced to make a decision like the one facing you.

Gemme · 12-25-2011, 09:15 PM

I always have a sad twinge this time of year. My maternal grandfather passed on Christmas Day and, though I didn't know him well enough to grieve his loss, it hurt me to see my mom grieve for him. Now that mom's gone, it's like a double dose of sadness. Even though she didn't pass on this day, I remember them both. Some years it hurts more than others.
