From: Tracie H. on 2 May 2007 22:15 ok, lets get it going again.... I am sure there are tons of people out in the world who has lost a pet they love... I sure have.....
From: Rob on 2 May 2007 17:28 Hi Nick, Just joined this group yesterday......I lost my cat on monday. I hope the group does liven up. I could use the support of other pet lovers. ~Rob "Noon Cat Nick" <chatdemidiSPAMBEGONE(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message news:m_TZh.29498$n_.12111(a)attbi_s21... > If there's anyone still out there, perhaps we need to set about promoting > this group to get it active and vital again.

Perhaps some campaign work in the other Usenet groups dealing with companion animals would get things going again. In the meantime, Rob, please (if you wish) tell what happened to your poor cat. Few of us though there may be here, we do truly empathize. (Having suffered my own feline losses over the years, I know I certainly do.) And welcome to the group, FWIW. I'll try soon to email you some other Internet resources regarding pet loss and bereavement.

I'm not trying to pick up a polemic nor to annoy anyone. My opinions are perhaps somewhat brusque or may be unilateral or subjective in excess, but they are sincere and direct, frank and open, with no offense meant. I´ve joined the group some weeks earlier and was surprised by the extremely scarce participation. Asking myself what could cause this I read the past files and what I found was that the answers to the bereavers were on the whole, if any, formal and felt very dettached. Forgive for the expression, but those answers were as from professional mourners. I suppose the bereaved people felt likewise and didn´t come back for more of the same. On the other hand I also ask myself what one can say. The pain of the demise of a trusted, congenial, loyal, devoted, deeply loved friend from whom one never received anything more than the most sincere affection is beyond words. What could I say to Rob? That I´m truly sorry for him, that I know what he must be feeling and I feel harmonically some of his pain? What could I say to him in order to try to soothe even a little that pain.? I really don´t know . I feel impotent and useless, so I´m in the same case as the good-willing people that I'm criticizeing for being cold and dettached... So I have critics, but not solutions to propose... Anyway I´m telling you this hoping that you'll find the way to really make feel to the desolated visitors of these pages the empathy that mentions Noon Cat Nick. Cordial greetings for all and a hug for Rob. |
