Title: Luise how are you today
Post by: cadagi101 on April 13, 2011, 04:10:26 PM
Hi Luise, I have been thinking about you a lot.   I was thinking of you last night hoping   you were getting some restful sleep.     I know from experience how sad you are it will take lots of time..
kind thoughts

Thank you for asking. I am all over the place. This loss leaves me in an empty house...once a home. I feel "Me, Too" close and that is a comfort...then I lose it again. It's been 6 days., so I think how I feel is "normal."

The conflict on WWU with members leaving feels like a failure to me and rests heavy on my heart. I wrote a long post today...but it disappeared into the ether someplace. I may try again.

Maybe tomorrow will be better. I do feel the love coming my way and am grateful.

Luise I am so sorry you are having this problem on top of everything else.    The conflict you mention must be of the forum. I say that because I think and many WW would agree it is working brilliantly and we are really happy.     No way have you failed us.

Thank you so much. I needed to be reminded that it is usually those who are unhappy that you hear from most often. Sending love..

Actually, that's not really me, as you know. I am pretty much down for the count...but it's temporary.

Luise, have you no idea how many of us you've lifted from the depths of despair???  Your care & concern, experience, sage advice & wit keep us going.  You've provided us this site of refuge~   Here at WWU, you are the Alpha & Omega, Numero Uno, the big Kahuna, Top Dog!!! 

Thank you~

Luise,  I am also very saddened to read about "Me,Too."  You all had a Beautiful, Fun Loving Life together~~Please try to hold that Dear in your heart and may that make you smile... :)  For its just never easy.......and that is why I will not get another Dog as much as I would Love to I wont do it.........plus its my age also to be truthful---who would Love my Dog as much as I would if something happened to me~~would my kids really take her/him????   Yes, I know they would for we are all animal lovers---but it still would not be the same..........So, 4 years ago I found a little kitten in a barn all by himself~~long story short of course I brought him home, then I went and adopted another one.......I have a problem....I cannot be without a animal and we live Happily ever after.......

Every day is a new day Luise that we are Blessed with......we face road blocks, obstacles and sometimes we hit dead ends.......We have choices to make and as long as they are healthy, good and wise ones for your sake as well as others, that is all that matters.....for YOU have given us so much~~we are grateful and you are LOVED.....

As always, sending HUgs your way....Faith

luise, in my darkest of times you helped me through with words of encouragement and inspiration.  My wish is that I return that for you.

Like my dad once told me "behind every dark cloud, there is a silver lining" 

Hoping those clouds blow away.  (((((hugs))))

Thank you one and all. You are all so precious and you all mean so much to me.

A friend of mine recommended I contact a Pet Intuitive that she knew personally and so I did. Yesterday, she, (Jennifer) worked with me and connected me up with Me, Too...who is right here!

And one of you sent me an e-card that said: "The risk of love is loss, and the price of loss is grief. But the pain of grief is only a shadow when compared with the pain of never risking love." Hilary Stanton Zunin

I'm so grateful that you are walking with me though this. Thanks to you all, again.

Luise,  Your thread about Me, Too being with you I BELIEVE in 100%.....  I cannot tell you how many times I have felt one of my dogs with me after loosing them.....and it was just not the feeling Luise it was also the incidents which took place as well.......for example one night after my shephard passed on from cancer, about three days later I woke up one morning to find her Frizbee in the middle of the living room......Well, I did not put it there, and no one else was home that night, nor did the frizbee grow legs to walk into the living room~~~their is no other explanation......

I do Believe Me, Too, is here with you.....I've got goose bumps.

Ohhhhh my, Luise, I am so sorry, so sorry....please know you'll be in my thoughts and prayers...this is so saddening....don't know what I'd do without my fur person, however, I do know that life must go on, it's just so hard to do, they are akin to a loyal companion.

Don't know if this will help you....

I know I am a newbie here and just getting To know everyone.  I somewhat feel a little responsible for ppl leaving and the animosity the arose over the last week. I believe it was my first post that contributed to some of this.
I am SO sorry for any harsh feelings or disagreements. It wasn't my intent to come here to be resistant  to anyone who was trying to reach out to me. I welcome any advice or encouragement weather it was hard to hear or not what I wanted to hear. God knows I still have some work to do to heal and become the best person I know how to be.

Luise: I felt so welcomed by you and feel you have touched the lives of many. I only hope that one day I can have the relationship that others have with you. You have suffered a great loss and that is near and dear to my heart. I have a golden retriever that has been my best friend for 13 yrs. Her health is failing and no matter how hard we try to prepare for their loss, we still take it hard. Animals are the embodiment of perfect love, understanding, trust, empathy and joy. Its the unconditional love that brings us happiness when we are down. Pets fill the hole in our hearts we never even knew existed. We only know it's there when we don't have our pets. Anyone who thinks awww it is only a dog has not been  blessed with the amazing love of a family member a best friend and a truly amazing bond.  You are in my thoughts and prayers . ((Hugs)) BrokenHope

I literally "stumbled upon" this page the other day.  I didn't know if it was wise to post it.  It seemed a coincidence that you used a similar phrase, BrokenHope...

Thanks Rose for sharing that.... dogs really are precious gifts aren't they. 

Hey BH.. don't feel badly for a moment, nothing had nothing to do with you.. you're good to go in my book:)

Luise, I am so sorry for your loss.  Animals truly are family and friends.  I will be thinking of you guys.

BH, I too hope you don't feel badly.  I'm sorry for starting your thread out on the wrong foot, I've got some of my own personal stuff going on and honestly, it had nothing to do with you.  I should have remembered that we all have bad days and most find here on their worst days.   

I think whatever happened behind the scenes (I'm not even pretending to know here, just surmising) had nothing to do with you either.

I havent seen alot of conflict in the posts that I read here. WOW there is alot of different topics here and I havent even gotten through all of them. Each day or time I come on I try to read as much as I can. I really didnt seen much conflict, I have observed disagreements and differences of a oppinion And One member feeling more strongly about the subject then the other. For the most part though , its all been support and love.  Is that not what makes us individuals? I think we all agree that we can agree to disagree at times and still respect our own values and morals.
To speak your mind takes courage, to hold your tongue takes a different kind of courage, wisdom is knowing when to do either, strength is seeing it through. We may not have chosen our road or where it leads. We can only hope for good company on our journey.

It's like I've always told my kids.. for every action there is a reaction and a consequence.  Sometimes you have to throw your cards on the table and see how they fall.

We had a cute topic up a while back.. going by memory alone I think it was started by Scoop.. asking about everyone's pets... they are special creatures.. look for the older topic you will see everyone's special loves.
