Just call me the voice of reason from South of the Equator :)

Haven't studies shown that you guys are smarter down there because being upside-down gives you more blood flow to the brain?

 

Also, is this thread sufficiently out of hand now?

The Five Stages of Grief

 

 

Denial

 

This first stage of grieving the loss of the old classifieds helps us to survive the loss. In this stage, the world becomes meaningless and overwhelming. Life makes no sense. We are in a state of shock and denial. We go numb. We wonder how we can go on, if we can go on, why we should go on. We try to find a way to simply get through each day. Denial and shock help us to cope and make survival possible. Denial helps us to pace our feelings of grief. There is a grace in denial. It is nature’s way of letting in only as much as we can handle.

As you accept the reality of the loss and start to ask yourself questions, you are unknowingly beginning the healing process. You are becoming stronger, and the denial is beginning to fade. But as you proceed, all the feelings you were denying begin to surface.

 

Anger

 

Anger is a necessary stage of the healing process. Be willing to feel your anger, even though it may seem endless. The more you truly feel it, the more it will begin to dissipate and the more you will heal. There are many other emotions under the anger and you will get to them in time, but anger is the emotion we are most used to managing. The truth is that anger has no limits. It can extend not only to your friends, the doctors, your family, yourself and your lost classifieds, but also to Ratsun. You may ask, “Where is Ratsun in this?

Underneath anger is pain, your pain. It is natural to feel deserted and abandoned, but we live in a society that fears anger. Anger is strength and it can be an anchor, giving temporary structure to the nothingness of loss. At first grief feels like being lost at sea: no connection to anything. Then you get angry at someone, maybe a person who didn’t agree with you, maybe a person who isn’t around, maybe a person who is different now that your beloved forum has died. Suddenly you have a structure – - your anger toward them. The anger becomes a bridge over the open sea, a connection from you to them. It is something to hold onto; and a connection made from the strength of anger feels better than nothing.We usually know more about suppressing anger than feeling it. The anger is just another indication of the intensity of your love.

 

Bargaining

 

Before a loss, it seems like you will do anything if only your loved forum would be spared. “Please Ratsun, ” you bargain, “I will never be angry at my classifieds again if you’ll just let her live.” After a loss, bargaining may take the form of a temporary truce. “What if I devote the rest of my life to helping others. Then can I wake up and realize this has all been a bad dream?”

We become lost in a maze of “If only…” or “What if…” statements. We want life returned to what is was; we want our old forum restored. We want to go back in time: find the problem sooner, recognize the illness more quickly, stop the accident from happening…if only, if only, if only. Guilt is often bargaining’s companion. The “if onlys” cause us to find fault in ourselves and what we “think” we could have done differently. We may even bargain with the pain. We will do anything not to feel the pain of this loss. We remain in the past, trying to negotiate our way out of the hurt. People often think of the stages as lasting weeks or months. They forget that the stages are responses to feelings that can last for minutes or hours as we flip in and out of one and then another. We do not enter and leave each individual stage in a linear fashion. We may feel one, then another and back again to the first one.

 

Depression

 

After bargaining, our attention moves squarely into the present. Empty feelings present themselves, and grief enters our lives on a deeper level, deeper than we ever imagined. This depressive stage feels as though it will last forever. It’s important to understand that this depression is not a sign of mental illness. It is the appropriate response to a great loss. We withdraw from life, left in a fog of intense sadness, wondering, perhaps, if there is any point in going on alone? Why go on at all? Depression after a loss is too often seen as unnatural: a state to be fixed, something to snap out of. The first question to ask yourself is whether or not the situation you’re in is actually depressing. The loss of a loved forum is a very depressing situation, and depression is a normal and appropriate response. To not experience depression after a forum is replaced with a new one would be unusual. When a loss fully settles in your soul, the realization that your loved one didn’t get better this time and is not coming back is understandably depressing. If grief is a process of healing, then depression is one of the many necessary steps along the way.

 

Acceptance

 

Acceptance is often confused with the notion of being “all right” or “OK” with what has happened. This is not the case. Most people don’t ever feel OK or all right about the loss of a loved one. This stage is about accepting the reality that our loved one is physically gone and recognizing that this new reality is the permanent reality. We will never like this reality or make it OK, but eventually we accept it. We learn to live with it. It is the new norm with which we must learn to live. We must try to live now in a world where our loved one is missing. In resisting this new norm, at first many people want to maintain life as it was before a loved one was replaced. In time, through bits and pieces of acceptance, however, we see that we cannot maintain the past intact. It has been forever changed and we must readjust. We must learn to reorganize roles, re-assign them to others or take them on ourselves.

Finding acceptance may be just having more good days than bad ones. As we begin to live again and enjoy our life, we often feel that in doing so, we are betraying our loved one. We can never replace what has been lost, but we can make new connections, new meaningful relationships, new inter-dependencies. Instead of denying our feelings, we listen to our needs; we move, we change, we grow, we evolve. We may start to reach out to others and become involved in their lives. We invest in our friendships and in our relationship with ourselves. We begin to live again, but we cannot do so until we have given grief its time.

At times, people in grief will often report more stages. Just remember your grief is an unique as you are.

^^^^^* this is some funny shit!

So apparently the hospital I'm in is in the path of a tornado. And I'm on the 7th floor, which is the cancer floor. So I not only may die, I may die looking at a bunch of people dying of cancer.

Find a sexy one and tell her you want to stick your dick in her sloppy wet storm shelter. 

[Camtron]

Lol. Not a one. Luckily my wife is cute and cancer free and I just so happened to have already gotten it in a few hours ago. :thumbup:

[Camtron]

oooo, there are gonna be rides apparently. They've disconnected everyone from their IV pole and they're setting up slides on the stairs.

Where do you think the "red" in his user name comes from? Hes always on his menstrual cycle haha :poke: :rofl:

 

 

 

I love you Banner

I'm aware that this isn't strictly an American classified section but it is overwhelming American. Datsun1200 offers tons of parts but unless I'm willing to pay shipping it might as well be an Aussie site. To further my point datsun1200 is hosted in Portugal, its worldwide but still predominantly Australian. Btw the classifieds there is terrorable but it doesn't effect a cheapass like me so what do I care.

I agree that this mostly American, but that doesnt mean youre allowed to exclude members opinions based on location. Like mentioned before we have a bunch of Canadian members and even a Canadian mod. Do you want to ignore them because they arent from the US?

Mericuh.

[datzenmike]

It's predominantly a North American forum for a Japanese car/truck sold here. It was started by an American. Generally Canadian and American Datsuns are the same with a few differences. I've answered posts on an Oz forum and have to be careful because of the vast differences in cars. I've seen a post from another country asking a question about a Datsun that was answered by another member from that country.

[crackerjack69]

Nobody has bitched or moaned yet on this page... But no one has posted tits either. I say this thread is officially useless.

Good point, and, For those who might think this site is exclusively Merican, what about the English, Thai, Swedish, New Zealand, Portugese, Texan (wait their part of America ain't they?) members as well.

 

Can you imagine how one sided and insular this site would be if people like me didn't post here :)

[crackerjack69]

Cmon, do I really have to hit the back button to see some action? People be slippin. The part about Camtron gettin some is the only exciting part so far :(
