Hi,
I see that John the Dragon has replied with anger to a post I submitted. I was already to send something back, and then I realized that I was going to be as childish and immature as he is being. My husband was a psychologist, and he would have told me to ignore this man and his flagrant disregard for the feelings of others. I think I am beginning to see that he NEEDS this attention we are giving him. It makes him feel important. Why else would someone try to inflict his feelings on others?
As Morgan said, this is a GRIEF site for those who want to seek comfort and be able to share the most sorrowful feelings. None of us WANT to feel the way we do! Unfortunately, our loss is much more significant and painful than those of some others.
I wish those people well! I hope they can overcome what I cannot, but I do not want to be chastised or lectured for feeling my loss.
Consider ignoring this man, and maybe we will not FEED the DRAGON! That is what he wants!
Remember, Dragons are fictious beings; they are not real. So maybe that is why they cannot feel deep emotions!

Ignoring this sort of personality is difficult but it's the only way to deal with it.  In the first five minutes of the first forum on the internet, trolls started appearing.  They live for the reaction they can get from stirring things up.  The more they can antagonize and hurt others, the more fulfilled they feel.  Deny them any reaction, they usually drift away in search of more vulnerable victims.  Thus the saying, "Please don't feed the trolls."  Trolling the emotions and broken hearts of the grieving is despicable but characteristic of the type.

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More

Sibling Loss

This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More

Triggers Continue to Surface

Late February is a challenging time of year for me.  Jen’s birthday is the 23rd and serves as an annual reminder of all of the potential that was lost…Her’s (mainly), mine, the world’s honestly.  This year she would be 52…It is increasingly hard to imagine, through all of the iterations possible, what she could have become, what was to be her (significant) impact on the world.That being said, things, emotions, have largely settled down since I committed a potential version of what could have…See More
