Not only thanks for the hearts, but for

[multigraincracker]

the love and support for my post about the trauma I suffered a few days ago. Many have reached out to me. Now that is love. I love you all, even folks that alerted on my post over the last few days. Today a Psychologist offered free counseling to make sure I get through it ok.
I love you all unconditionally.

[SheltieLover]

3. You are loved & appreciated here

I'd been so shocked by rrading of your horrible experience that I'd forgotten to look who wrote it.

I'm so glad a therapist is stepping up to support you!

[multigraincracker]

5. My Emotional Support kitty, Cleo has been on my chest all day.

[SheltieLover]

6. Awwwww what a sweetie!

So glad you have her!

[multigraincracker]

8. Her mom passed away a few weeks ago and mom

was worried about her, knowing she was leaving this earth she was so happy Cleo would be taken care of. She is a love bug.

[SheltieLover]

11. I'm glad you have each other!

15. Thank you too.

[ForgedCrank]

10. Even if it was only

a few detractors, I'm sorry you had to come here and endure the negativity.
The vast majority of us understood very clearly what you were going through. I only wish there was something I could do to help. It's difficult to come up with comforting words when faced with something so terrible.
Time normally heals more than anything else, not to mention a horrific experience such as this reminds us how much we appreciate those who are around us every day so we can be thankful.
I wish you the best.

12. I am glad you are doing better.

No one should have to deal with such drama alone. HUGS!

[multigraincracker]

17. Thanks, but I was glad

that it was me there and not someone else. At least I was able to redirect traffic until the cops got there.

[alwaysinasnit]

13. You truly are appreciated. Sending a digital hug your way.

[multigraincracker]

19. You just warmed my little ole

digital heart.

[BigmanPigman]

16. Most of us on DU are supportive,

unfortunately a few would prefer to stir things up and seek attention. I know that most "nurses" are generally caring, loving people.

[multigraincracker]

18. I haven't walked in their shoes, so

I will forgive them.

love you

[Raine]

20. I didn't reply to your original post because I didn't know

what say to make you feel better. I'm so glad to hear now that you will have help dealing with it all. 💞

[multigraincracker]

26. Thanks, but I was glad I did,

it was cathartic writhing it down. I know it sounded terrible, but it was real, very real for me.
TY Raine.

[UpInArms]

21. ((((((Hugs))))))

Am glad you have a strong support kitty … those are invaluable

[multigraincracker]

27. Thanks, of all the cats I have had,

every one them found me. I was never went looking for them. Strange how that happens.

[usonian]

22. You are not alone.

All of us have had close calls, and tough times and are glad to help another. Know that you have our emotional support, however electronic! to go along with the professional counseling.

"I couldn't find the words", like many others, I am sure, when you first posted. So here goes: You are courageous and compassionate, and deserve peace and happiness ASAP!

And thanks to anonymous folks for the hearts.

[multigraincracker]

36. Thanks, I know I'm a little ruff around the edges,

but I try.

[mzmolly]

23. I'm so sorry

for your unspeakable experience and for the shaming that took place, when you shared.

[multigraincracker]

29. Thanks, I can understand

how hard hard it must have been to read about the tragedy. It really struck me the next day when I saw her picture in the paper. There was no face that night.

[MLAA]

24. Hi Multi

I’m so glad a psychologist will be there for professional guidance. Someone with as much love in their heart as you have will get through this terrible experience surrounded by your GF, friends and fellow DUers.

Just surround yourself with love and don’t allow anything but love and kindness near you during this healing.

[multigraincracker]

31. Thanks for reaching out.

I'll never forget all of the support I got.

[MerryBlooms]

25. I am so relieved to see you tonight.

You have been in my thoughts. I am glad you have a sweet kitty to be with you, and professional help to get you through this trauma.

I pray for you, peace of mind and heart. May you have restful sleep. You are loved and valued. Sending you hugs and support. A minute at a time, be kind to yourself. ❤

[multigraincracker]

32. Thanks for reaching out.

A long time ago I repressed a tragedy for a long time and when it did come out and I faced it, I ended up in the hospital. One can not hide from these things.

[MerryBlooms]

38. It's critical to have a safe place to vent.

It took me 50 years to find one. I wish I had known what I was experiencing and how to ask for help. I didn't have the words and was too ashamed to tell anyone, so I hid it, or thought I was.

I understand the despair of the situation you described in your original post.

Take care.

[multigraincracker]

39. At the age of 11, repressing it

didn't help in the long run. Some day it will catch up. And when it does, look out. 61 years later, I know better.

[LoisB]

28. Please take care of yourself. You are needed.

[multigraincracker]

37. The love here has really helped.

[mountain grammy]

30. Thank you for the update.

I've been thinking about you since I read your post. So glad to hear you were offered counseling. I can't even imagine your trauma. Please take good care of yourself.

[multigraincracker]

34. Thanks

It has been a learning experience. Never to old to learn.

[IbogaProject]

33. Take care

And don't second guess the original post nor it's soecific wording. It seemed ok to me. But either way you were in a type of shock. Expect it to take some time to work through it and please take care of yourself and your wife.

[multigraincracker]

35. Yes shock nails it.

I'm glad I got to work right away and didn't stand there and just look at it. Felt pretty bad for the cops and firemen when they got there. You could read their faces. Nothing prepares one for these thing. The one deputy told me it was the worse thing he had ever seen in 30 years on patrol. I'm worried about him now.

[Solly Mack]

40. I never finished your account because I couldn't. Far enough into it, I knew I had to stop

reading.

I can't even begin to imagine what actually seeing it did to you. Hearing it.

Please take care of yourself and take that counseling.

It'll help. If only to talk it out.

[multigraincracker]

41. Thank you Solly.

DU has helped more than anyone can imagine.
I figure it doesn't hurt to get your oil checked every once in a while. I'll go see her.

[calimary]

42. Seems to me that's DU at its BEST!

SO many good-hearted people here. And they/we will buoy you up.

[mvd]

43. K&R

And I supported you posting that thread. I think it was good to get it out, and most DUers understood.

I’d like to donate to DU now to give out hearts. But I am better off waiting until it’s not just a little token.

[multigraincracker]

44. Your support means a lot to me, thanks.

Some times the whole heart thing bothers me. Hard to explain. Like I said the responses from my post has been a heart felt experience. I never expected the love that I got.
thanks again
