The pain of losing a pet
For many of us, our circle of loved ones is not limited to humans. Often, we love our cats, dogs or rabbits as intensely as we do our dearest human companions. Our beloved animals are fast friends, part of the family. When my four-year-old tallies who's in our family, her list always includes 4 girls and 2 boys. That two of the girls use the litter box rather than the potty is…

Living green, dying green

PBS Newshour recently looked at the documentary "Dying Green" and…

Thank you for being part of the LegacyConnect community, and thank you for bringing this to our attention. We discovered late last week that Norton anti-virus software was incorrectly returning an alert for our site. We worked with Norton to resolve the issue, and you should now be able to access our site in full.
We appreciate your patience and understanding. Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.

Leonard Shick said… - Why is this site being listed as a danger to my copmutor by my virus protection programs? Who monitors the site for potential threats to an already grieving group? What and who can answer these concerns? Are we safe coming here for help finding some answers to our losses with-out losing our computors and media of understanding and support? Since it's been almost a year since the last posting on this board, I wonder if I'll get a reply.

Dianne Hardy said… - On august 10th, 2008 I lost my only son to a tragic hunting accident. He was 35. We expect our children to oulive us, to go further and to be happier than we were. Whatever the cause of an early death of a child NO parent can find it easy to handle. We search every where to find some peace of comfort, and so far I have not found it. Not through my family, my church family, or any friend. I read as much as I can just to tell myself that I am not going crazy. I read somewhere, that when you lose you spouse, you become a widow or widower, when you lose you parents you become an orphan, but when you loss your child there is not a name for it . It is just that bad! In life the beginning is scary, the end is sad, but the middle is what really counts, How true is that. I pray for each of us that God will hold our children in his Loving Arms, until we can be there to join them. God Bless each of you, and thank you too! Dianne Hardy
