  1. Wow--- I love that pillow. Thanks for sharing and the link!!! I have a wonderful postersize print from Snapfish hanging on my liv rm wall.....they did a terrific job.
  2. Love your setting - thanks for sharing it with us.
  3. OH, my dear - what a dreadful scene that was to find Houdini that way. He was such a gorgeous kitty. I'm glad to hear you have counseling set up. It is so difficult to lose our special companions and doubly in this fashion.

    Hi Gordon You found the absolute perfect place to tell us your heart story. I'm so sorry for the horrible accident. My heart goes out to you and your wife. As another older animal lover I know how we love our companions. It's a day by day, or sometimes minute by minute journey .
  5. The additional pictures are fantastic. Thanks.
  6. Hi Sparkles You are definitely at the right place to share your loss feelings. We know the pain. And we know the time it takes. Your kitty is (her spirit is with you forever) - beautiful. Thanks for the picture. It is beautiful. And brown tabbies are my favorites 100000%. Lost my special connection Gb last summer - he was very ill. And it took several months of crying before I felt like I was human again. But not a day passes that I don't have a pang of grief for him. this is a very hard time for you. Take one minute or hour or day at a time. That special connection has been physically broken. When they have eaten, slept with us, been our companion 24/7 it is normal to hurt. And it hurts like nothing else. It really helped me cope with the sad minutes to scribble in my anger journal. Sometimes the words were huge!!!! Also I bought a pretty journal at the bookstore to start writing all the antics and memories of Gb. Often tears would roll as I wrote. And maybe set up a memorial space in your house where you can sit and talk to her. The emptiness is hard. Keep crying. Take care of yourself even if you don't feel like eating - a couple bites are better than none; and so it is important to keep hydrated. Post often. Our hearts stay with you. And again, I am so sorry for your kitty to be gone. What was her name?
  7. Your chair thief They are good at that. And then it sure takes a bite when they aren't there to do it.
  8. With the porch windows open tonight it brought tears -- Gb and Hamish would sit in the window from dusk to dark just entranced by bugs or whatever was going on outside. They'd sit there until I had to close up for the night. These youngsters aren't really interested. And Hamish doesn't sit there alone. I sat with him awhile (tho not in the window) :))
  9. Hi Nikki Thanks for relating your trip & experience at the picnic. And I sure know about nose "prints" on windows.
  10. Thanks so much Maylissa.......I love the stories of your romps with the kitties~and the "Hide and Seek". Such fun for you and them. Your humor is beautiful. And thanks for sharing those tears. And you, also, Kay - I thought about you and Ms M when I was writing the first post. I imagine you are seeing her everywhere. Thanks for Marty for hosting this amazing forum! We know we have comrades right here and now. And don't even have to be dressed or have brushed our teeth to comment.
  11. Hi - I started this new topic because I have these waves of missing my Gb kitty come out of nowhere. I don't purposely think the sad thoughts; they seem to appear triggered by anything. I know that here in this Loss of a Pet forum I am free to speak of this. Not really in my daily interactions with humans or my sons. It's now been 13 months since Gb had to leave. I do miss him daily but not with the intensity that can happen. For instance, Saturday night it was beautiful outside and it triggered tears. I remember how after a hot day I'd take Gb and Hamish out in the evening to enjoy the relative coolness, the shade of t he trees, the cool grass and the few bugs flitting around. They really enjoyed that. I can picture some of those times vividly. I cried it out for awhile. I know this is perfectly normal after losing a close being. I read a bunch online about this "phenomena" as I'll call it. Most had to do with loss of a human , however I know it applies to us here. Hope some of you will share an incident, or feelings or thoughts.
  12. That poem seemed just right since you said she stayed in your garage awhile before you took her in. She came find her furever home.
  13. Kay, you do so much for all of us in this Grief Forum that I decided to make this for you.
  14. That's so cool, Marty. I have special boxes with memory items from Ms Neffy and Mr Purr from quite a number of years ago- and now of course my Gb kitty.
  15. Thanks so much - I just read the post you linked by a friend. It was wonderful . And those surges of grief - they are frightening and normal. Hard to handle but they do pass . I sure know about how those feel.
