I just can't help myself, yet I know before I've read the first line that I'll be crying by the time I'm halfway through! So why do I do it to myself??? I'm such a wuss!

I feel sooooo sorry for anyone who posts about a loss. I struggle to cope with the idea of losing another of my babies eventually (they are all relatively young at the mo so fingers crossed with any luck I won't lose any of them any time soon), life can just be so terribly sad sometimes.

Hugs, Baileys and cheesecake to anyone who has had a loss recently, I don't tend to reply to the posts because I'm worried I'll say the wrong thing, but my tears and silent vibes hopefully say it all for me!
 
I'm completely the same, I have a lump in my throat when I have just read the title.

Having waited 19 years to get my horse, I can not contemplate how awful it would be to loose him.

Thinking of everyine who has lost a great friend tonight - 2010 has not been a good year judging by the ammount of great equines lost recently...

hugs to everyone... xxx
 
The bond we create with our equine friends is so incredibly strong. To lose one would be unbearable.

I too read the RIP posts and struggle to understand how people can be put through so much pain but are still able to put their feelings in words so eloquently.

My boys are everything to me. Right up there with my family.

Life is cruel sometimes.

All too often we hear about the negative aspects of this forum. When I lost my horse , the kindness of so many forum people really helped me get through. It hurts to read that someone has lost their beloved horse,but I do try to send a little message even if only so that the poor owner knows that others are thinking about their horse.
 
I always read them, and then sort of wish I hadn't - don't get me wrong I like to be supportive, and I like to see that people have made the right decisions for their horses for all the right reasons... But each time I read one I end up in tears or trying not to cry at work and it all reminds me of losing my boy last year, my old pony 4 years ago and my Mum's old hunter when I was a kid.
