Can't get this out of my mind...

Yes, it's a TAAT for which I'm sorry but I can't stop thinking about the very recent thread where the poor woman's son had died, a few MNers were offering help local to her and it was just the saddest thing. I didn't post but was following and was worrying a lot for the mother. And now can't find the thread at all - was it pulled?

I reported it, right at the beginning and later too. The clincher for me was when she posted a picture of his empty bed.

I felt the same ColdTea

The photo of the empty bed gave me goosebumps followed by a really uneasy feeling about it. I hope it was a troll tbh.

I was keeping an eye out for the op on this one so desperately sad. I don't know what to think. If it's a troll I'm glad in a way that she isn't really going through the heartache
If it's NOT A troll then I hope she is getting help elsewhere

Yes Wombat, sadly that one was genuine judging by previous posting history etc. The suspicous one was about a single mum with no contact with any family or friends in the US.

It wasn't real? How could they tell? I felt so, so bad for that poor lady. I was one of the posters offering help too. I do hope it wasn't real, only for the reasons that I'd hate for one more person to lose someone they love.

Thank you myrtle. I thought the one I'm referring to was genuine

myrtleWilson · 01/09/2016 20:29

No wombat the one where OP was in NY...

goldensolait · 01/09/2016 20:27

I wondered about that one. Something sounded a bit off about it by the second page but I didn't report in case I was wrong, just didn't post. Also almost hope it was a troll even it if that is completely sick thing to post.

wombattoo · 01/09/2016 20:25

Is it the one where the DD had gone to uni?

lifesalongsong · 01/09/2016 20:22

I posted on that thread, the message says

We're sorry to say that we must suspend this while we look closer from behind the scenes. Our 'suspend thread' is on the blink - so we're having to remove entirely for the moment.

I was searching for this post. I almost hope it was a troll because it was very sad.

Yes that's the one. I agree some of it didn't gel but I attributed that at the time more to the situation. So I guess it's no surprise it's gone, as you say.

Sad. But hopefully for different reasons IYKWIM

The one in a different country? Gemmy?

Yes, pulled whilst they take a closer look. I did post early on but I'm afraid it set my trolldar pinging for no concrete reason....didn't report as I felt bad but not surprised in the slightest to see it go.
