Realistically speaking, unless a person was already mentally prepared, a lot of sellers are going to have to adjust to this in stages.
Quote:Shock/Denial:
A feeling of numbness can last hours to weeks. It is a period often described as "unreal", (i.e. being amazed to have made it through a euthanasia). Some reactions people experince during this stage are: having disorganized thoughts, feeling unaffected, thinking about suicide, feeling numb, being euphoric or hysterical, feeling outside their body, or being talkative, hyper or passive. Other people will feel in denial of the loss. (i.e. "I can't believe he is really gone...it just doesn't seem real.)
Searching/Yearning:
People will often find themselves acutely missing the pet that is gone. Individuals in this phase can be pre-occupied with thoughts of the deceased; they may have dreams about the pet who is gone. Reactions experienced may also include sensing that one sees or hears the pet outside their home. Feelings commonly experienced are intense pining, sadness, fear, anger, relief, irritability, guilt and yearning. Sometimes anger is not directed at the loss, but instead towards a family member, veterinarian, self or God. During this period individuals may find themselves bursting into tears at unexpected times. People may also experience physical illness, pain, weight change, fatigue and change in appetite. ...

Well, that may be fine and dandy, but no one can register at your toopid site!! No one can see what's in any category for sale, either. SITE IS DOWN, I guess..........

No, Stardust. Sorry if the comment was too ambiguous. The person that the article refers to just gets on my nerves. :

I hate to bring up old carp... but what the heck!
Are any of you sure Songs is a wolf in sheep's clothing? I know, I know, she called me names and accused me of all kinds of stuff (temp. lack in judgment??) while using a posting ID in a conversation that I wasn't even involved in... but the few posts I have read of hers, she seems quite pleasant.
