Tina,

I am so sorry for your loss of beautiful Willow. Prayers for her journey and hugs to you. This is such a hard time. Willow and Shannon will be together at the bridge waiting for us. God bless you.

Tina, I'm so sorry about Willow. Also, all my sympathies to Cleo for your loss of Simon.

I just read this thread after it was moved here to the PrayerBook. It broke my heart to read your posts. I wish there was something I could say that would help. But we all suffer through the hideous grief alone. It does mean a lot, though, to know the people here care and understand what you're going through.

In a 10-month period from December, 2007 to October, 2008, I lost my Buster kitty, my Sparky doggy (both were children to me), my Mom, my aunt, my uncle and my sister-in-law. I honestly don't know how I survived. It was a blur of non-stop pain and suffering. I wish I had some advice to give. Time does help. But the pain has never gone away.

I'm sending prayers that you can get through these terrible times. I am trying to find comfort now, knowing my angels are safe and well again. But how do I know that I will be found worthy to go to Heaven? My biggest fear is that I won't be. Hell would be never seeing or holding my loved ones again.

Tina, Cleo, and Peg, I hope your babies will find a way to give you peace and comfort.

Sending many ((((((((Hugs)))))))) and prayers,

Sue (And Kids!)
My kitties Shadow and Tank enable me to enjoy my existence and brighten my world. And may my angels, Nikki, Sparky, Buster, Frosty, Snowball, Leo, Foghorn, and Humane Society kitties be playing in the sunshine at the Rainbow Bridge.

I want to add more but I don't even know what to say any more. One thing though Sue, losing my cat shoke my core; I can't imagine going through what you and Tina have losing human family members in such a close amount of time like that.

That empty hole in my chest is just starting to numb. I still don't have him in a final resting place. I keep going back and forth between buying an urn or just making a stained glass one. I had therapy this week and she agreed, like all of you have, that making one and personalizing it will help me heal.

The rest of my cats seem to be back to acting normal and are comforting me in their own ways. JB (our dog) came with me to therapy and when I started crying in the session, she got nervous, yelped, paced and licked my face. I realized in all these years, she's never seen me upset like that so while I didn't like getting her distressed, it was comforting to know she too was trying to help me.
