Sounds like me; the "crossing the bridge" posts just tear my heart out. But, as Trout's Mom said,
There are times I just have to read the posts and offer what little comfort I can. I've been thru the grief so many times myself, tho, that it's really, really tough. I know I don't do it as often as I should.

Think of it this way though, although its hard and I know that..think of that person who has just lost their baby and how much support they need because of it. Its so nice when we can support eachother in times of sorrow.
If god forbid anything happen to our furbabies, I rest assured knowing our friends here will grieve right along with us.
You are not alone. I feel exactly like you do. I also stay out of the IMO forum completely so as not to get emotionally upset. I do love to talk about cats but I have had eight that have passed on and visiting the bridge brings memories back that are better not relived for me.Originally Posted by KiTTYL0VE4
i can not go into the "Crossing the Bridge" section anymore... i visit there sometimes, bc i want to offer my condolences to those who just lost their beloved. i never wind up posting bc by the time im done reading the post i am in tears and do not know what to say. then i have to go and hug and kiss my cat and tell him hes never allowed to leave me... i just cant go there anymore it upsets me wayyyy too much
