I am new to this fabulous board.  I thought perhaps some of you might remember a special pet and understand the loss I am feeling right now.

I visited my family a couple of weeks ago in another state.  I've made it a habit of taking my little "Frankie" (a miniature dashaund) with me.  He has always been easy to care for and a lot of fun to share with the family.

Unfortunately, my mother has an equally loved shepherd who apparently got jealous of the attention Frankie was getting.  My grandson (age 6) let him out of the room we were staying in and the Shepherd killed him.  My mother,father, my grandson and myself tried to stop it.  My mom was injured and hospitalized for wounds to her hand. 

My poor little grandson cried for days (on top of it, he was sick with a high fever). My family felt so badly.  Most of all, every time my mom saw me for the remainder of my stay, she burst into tears.  I found myself trying to comfort everyone and hurting like crazy for myself.

I came home to my husband who is feeling devastated as well.  We have a house guest and haven't been able to even talk about the loss of Frankie.  I can't believe the sadness hardly lifts.

I've decided to make a scrapbook of the many pictures of the funny things he did and try to erase the one horrible memory.  Maybe someone feels like sharing about how they recovered from this type of loss?

My thanks!

Listen up Ladies, as your excuses have run out.


There are no longer any excuses not to care for ourselves as women.

Trust me on this, so get a piece of paper and a pen. With this small shopping list you will  making a quick trip to your local Dollar store or some people have a .99 Store. I use this as an example because if you live in the boonies you can still  find a store with great values.

Items on your list:

1. Incense - You will find these in the air freshener section. Look toward the top shelf. If you don't have a burner a small container with sand will work just fine. $1

2. Go to the soap section and find Vaseline Intensive Care bath beads. They usually have two scents. My fav is Gentle Breeze. No it isn't in a fancy jar, but you will never choose another brand again! $2

3. Go to the baby section and choose the lavender topped lotion. The store brand one. $1 [Some places maybe $1.50]

Now choose a time to take a hot bath and relaaaax! Trust me here...

And its all only $5!

Hello!

I found this website and thought it seemed kind. My relationship ended about a month ago and I am still reeling from it. Yes, I am very touchy right now, so I thought this board seemed very kind and nice with the professional coaches as the mod's.

K** and I were together for 2 years and I thought things were going very well. We had just moved in together a couple of months before he came home one day and said he changed his mind. I know he didn't want to hurt me, but I was devastated! How could he just change his mind? I don't get it...

I am having real trouble shaking this off and my friends are sick of me. What can I do? I am going to check out that ehelp assignment someone posted.. I need something. I don't even want to get out of bed.

How do I just start over? The last thing I want to do is date right now, but all my friends said that is what the 'cure' is. I just can't agree with this.

I will check back and hopefully find support from you people here.

I know I need something.

Thank you for listening.
