It's been 7 weeks since Punky's passing, and I find myself in a "place" where I can't post here much anymore. I can't even read many of the posts, even thought I do still come here daily. I feel at this point that reading the flood of new posts makes me relive my own pain a little too much. I felt guilty about this until one of you mentioned that they went through this phase at this point too, and was able to come back only much later. I think that has given me the permission I need to just say Thank You to everyone who has helped me, and now I need to withdraw for a bit. I'll still post when the mood hits, but it will be a lot less. I hope someday to be back, because I consider all of you my unique friends. I don't know what I would have done without you.

All the best to you and your families.



Love,
Punky's Mommy

Punky's mom, that is just how I feel, in the beginning I could embrace the pain but as time moves on you get to a place where it opens that wound again. I still linger here but dont post as much, I think that is part of moving forward. I dont post everyday like I used to but I post when the mood hits me, cause sometimes it just helps to write it down. U have been a lite to this sight and have envoked some interesting conversation. Good luck as you continue your journey through this life. Pamela

Hi Punky's Mommy:

I just wanted to wish you and yours well as you go further on a different phase of this journey....

You have been a wonderful friend here, at LS, and you have helped many, many people..
God Bless you for that!!!



That feeling is so very, very normal, and often times, withdrawing from LS is just what your heart and soul needs.

In the year that I've been here, there are "certain times" when there are just SO MANY NEW POSTS, so many new
broken hearts, and it can be extremely overwhelming.....
and, bring back the very pain in your heart that you are trying to heal.

You're a wonderful person, Punky's Mommy.
I wish you much Peace & Love!!!!

Love, Denise xo

over the years ive realized that everyone reaches their "place" eventually, i am happy to hear you have found yours

I *almost* let this go unanswered because I figured I could let people think whatever they wanted and fade away into oblivion. But I'm compelled to just say that I don't think we're talking about the same "places". There's nothing happy about my "place". Sorry. But thank you for having this board - it is truly great.

Thank you so much Pamela and Denise.

No need for anyone to post a reply.

Your friend,
Punky's Mum
