I received this message from lovebug in my email:

know how as I am a new member.Please help me retrieve that message and
show me how to post it.My heart feels so heavy and empty.My baby Chevy
was only going to be 7 months on September 13-2003.He was killed by a

they killed him.I feel so much anger toward everyone because they don't
understand the hurt that's consuming me.Please help me!!I miss him so
much!
And I responded:
I will post your message for you. Then you can log in and just hit reply when you want to say more, ok? Sue (SJ&S) is the forum moderator and maybe able to help...

I will add:
I am sorry that is all I can do in as far as tech help... When you log in there should be a first page that has various topics and such -- we post under "death and dying support". And on other topics as well, but that is the main one...
Dear lovebug,
I am so sorry for your loss. I know Chevy was special and it will take some time before you start feeling normal (in any way) again. I still don't feel normal after 4 months. My husband said to me last night "I really missed them today..."
Eventually, some days are better than others, and I understand that at some point, when you remember, you actually smile instead of cry.
One thing that I think has helped a lot of the people on the board is to memorialize their pet, in all the ways they can think of : scrap books, grave markers, urns, gardens, trees, memorial bricks, stones, whatever -- whatever feels right to you. Since Chevy was hit by a car, and it sounds like you know where, maybe you could put up a little marker, a flower, a tree there --? If not, there are other things you can do in memorial.
I am sorry those ugly people did this and didn't even stop. It IS ok to be angry. What kind of person would you be if you were NOT angry???? He was just a little baby!!!
I am so sorry for your loss. You really did not get to share your life with him the way I am sure you both wanted to. But he is happy on the bridge now, and is waiting for you and will greet you madly when you join him.
Love,
Jennifer
