I have only just gotten to the point where I’ve felt more able to distance myself emotionally from this sort of thing (since it seems like there's no way to stop it), but this is a perhaps scraping the barrel of bad behavior. Is there not enough decency in the world to let a woman grieve in peace?
Previously, I was skittish and wanted to avoid any sort of disruptive energy. I am embarrassed to admit that when I first read Dinah's post, I was finally pushed to the point where I (briefly) considered lashing out in anger at any person who could intrude in a negative manner at such a time.
My dog is the only baby I have, and I can’t imagine a time when I’ll have to get along without his unconditional love and support. I am so sorry that Dinah has had the extra burden of dealing with negativity and turmoil here during an already painful time in her life.
My advice to the person(s) responsible for all the posts that have engendered such hurt feelings, uncomfortable silences, and creeping doubts in this formerly safe and supportive venue, is that you get yourself straightened out with all due haste.
The karmic wheel is spinning.
Today, my thoughts are reserved for those whose lives have been disrupted and hurt by the malice, sickness, and shortcomings of others, here and everywhere.
