Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Pet memorials and rituals

2 of 10

Saying GoodbyeThe death of a pet is never easy to endure, especially when the animal was your best friend, greeted you at the door ecstatically night after night, shared your supper, charmed you for treats, and left no blade of grass unsniffed from one end of the block to the other.I lost my best friend, Buddy Joe, last Tuesd...

Health & Fitness > Mental Illness Suicidal experience: Thoughts

9 of 24

It's never a good idea to kill yourself. Really. It's not. You leave such a mess behind, and that's not to mention the people in your life (life, get it?) that would spend the rest of their lives staring into a corner wondering what they could have done to prevent you from taking your own life (there it is, again, life).I can...
