I don't know if anyone else does this but when I'm out of sorts all I want to do is have a good cry and just get it out of my system. That's what I was like today, so I hit the deathfic. I started with 'My Soul to Keep' for TS. That story breaks me for so many reasons. I was blubbering like a baby at the end. Then I read nsync deathfic and just bawled again. It may be a cracked thing to do but I feel a hell of a lot better now.

It's good to know deathfic has it's uses *g*

ETA: Forgot to say. My mood wasn't helped today by reading one of my mailing lists. Lately they had a huge thread about feedback and as a result I'm having to wade through multiple posts saying 'loved it' for stories. Now, feedback is good but if it's two words keep it off the list!

ETA2: They had to put Misty down, and I know I said that I didn't feel that bad and I don't in comparison to other things that could have happened. But she was still my bunny and just thinking of how she was looking at me last night and seeing the bag of food in the kitchen is setting me off. Guess I should have waited, I wouldn't have needed the deathfic.

When you need to cry, you need to cry, that's right. I don't believe in trying to keep everything bottled up inside.

I guess, from a twisted point of view, the deathfic thing was a good idea.

Here some {{{Hugs}}} for my sis!

Now though, you *almost* made me want to read 'In Another Life' and it's so not a good idea! I mean, I do not want to cry today! No, I won't read it, I won't!

Grrrr, I just saw this and it hasn't hit my in-box. Bloody LJ!

The getting things out helps me a lot, and deathfic works for me when I'm in a particular mood. Not always but sometimes it's just what I need. Which probably is cracked up but I've never said I'm normal *g*

I wouldn't read it sis. I've cried enough for us all today.

Just read your ETA2. It's not going to help you, I know- I think you just need to let it all out of your system, and hopefully, you'll feel like a huge weight has been pulled off your shoulder/heart afterward.

Love you, sis!

Thanks babe.

I did as you suggested and I feel a hell of a lot better now than I did. It was better she was put down, she was in pain and was old, it was just getting the news, even though I'd been expecting it all day wasn't that nice.

Poor bunny.

I don't know if you're too depressed for bunny-related entertainment, but if you think it might cheer you up, have you ever heard of Devilbunnies?

Thanks for the hugs, and the link.

The site did cheer me up. I've just spent a good amount of time surfing the site and laughing, which is just what I need at the moment.

I often use the deathfic for the same purpose. It allows the boohooing without having to sit through any actresses emoting for their Oscar.

I'm so sorry about your bunny.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I thought I was some kind of freak that went seeking deathfic for cathartic reasons. It's just easier to cry because of fic, then I feel better because the bad stuff is fiction and I can get over it easier.

Misty was old and in pain, it was for the best I know that. It's just like anything, it hurts until you accept that. I'll miss her but you have to do what's best for her, not me.

Thank you.

I keep telling myself that she was old, really old for a bunny, and hurt, but I still miss her.

Your hugs help so much.

*mwah* *sniffle* I wish I could hug you for real. Losing a pet is hard, regardless of the circumstances.

*eyes water*

OK, I said I don't care about bunnies, and personally I don't, but your bunny died!

That's so sad!!

*hugs Terri*

Losing pets ALWAYS hurts; the pets in my family have always been extended members of the family, and their losses hurt every time, even when they were old and in pain.

*lays down a flower for Misty*

Cheer up, Luv. It was her time, and at least her end was quick, rather than debilitating with age.

Oh, and you should either get another bunny, or get rid of the bag of food. Sprinkle it out to feed the wildlife, donate it to the local petshop, something.

Thanks hon.

I do miss her, but she was old and it was her time. I'd hate to think of her in pain. We won't be getting another rabbit, like you I'm not really that gone on them. I like them, and I loved Misty but I wouldn't go and buy one. We only had her because she was being mistreated by someone.

I gave her food away in the end. Now we just have to do the same with the hutch.
