Members responded warmly to the question about pets that help with calming, sharing heartfelt stories about dogs, cats, and even a mini pig that provide comfort and emotional support during hard times. Several members described how their pets seem to sense when they are feeling low, staying close, offering cuddles, and providing unconditional love that helps ease loneliness and depression. A recurring theme was the deep grief felt after losing a beloved pet, with many members encouraging others to consider rescuing or adopting again, noting that new pets can help fill the void in a different but meaningful way.

Oh Maryring: My heart is so deeply moved with sincere thankfulness for your prayers, and your expression of compassion. I am crying....for a good reason. Because this group helps so much, and I'm hopeful at how we attempt to encourage, and strengthen one another, and just to be here for one another.

Your thoughts mean more to me, than I can express in words. It is rare to find ones who care enough about each other, in this "seeming to me, world that leaves us alone, and so many are in desperate need of help!"

I think it is a shame that there is so much ignorance, intolerance, stigma, and judgment placed on ones who most certainly didn't as for a chemically imbalanced brain.

Anyway, I won't go on sweetie, but I deeply will hold your kindness within my heart, as hope, as a blessed reminder that there are ones who care and can relate and do our best to help support one another. My prayers will go up to the wonderful Lord, "the Greatest Physician", for you , and all the rest of our fellow group members .

I'm sorry it took me so long to reply. I don't get on here as often as I should, I'm so tired and sleepy most all the time. God Bless my dear one. PR
