The Anniversary of Zaffer Entering My Life

[plax]

I am not very expressive with words. You have expressed your emotion/feelings very well in your relationship with Zaf so that I can understand and empathize with your experience. It relates to my own similar experiences with pet loss. I have read your posts and shed a few tears for us both.

As to the forum; with the advent of social media, bots etc it’s hard to keep legitimate sites running. For people who may come and explore the PP forum, there is valuable information and other experiences to take away.

Your posts about Zaf are kind of a memorial to him. I always read them. Others may too. They are important.

Thank you, Helena.

When it comes to the deep feelings I have that stem from my emotional pain, my related thoughts tend to accumulate and intensify. Expressing part of that negative energy somewhere seems to help me cope (to an extent at least). Since the PP site still exists and since for me its existence has always been connected to my relationship with Zaffer, it offers at least some level of relief for me. As such, when I post about my thoughts and feelings relating to my loss of Zaf (and my struggle with the associated grief), I'm not necessarily trying to inspire an extended dialog between myself and others. It's more that I'm just venting... and in so doing, trying to diminish a small portion of my discomfort. So I hope you don't feel obligated to respond to each of my redundancies.


Please know, though, Helena, that I've appreciated and value each of your responses. I know you can relate to some of my feelings and that you understand my plight. And believe me, that knowledge does help. Likewise, I empathize with you concerning your own loss of dear companions.
