  1. I took care of my Mom for 10 years after we lost my Dad. There are just too many things to say about that, but the last 5 years were tough on Mom. She lost so much of her independence and I thanked God when she lost her ability to care one way or the other. I had to watch her lose her ability to walk, her ability to talk, her ability to even sit straight in a chair. She died July 31, 2003. I am now agonized by dreams. In those dreams, I am horrified that I can't find Mom. They are painfully real, I was even ripping up cement on a steep sidewalk with my fingernails in order to try to reach her and I felt the pain of that. Last night, I dreamed that a family member had died, but I couldn't care because I needed to find Mom! Am I going crazy?
  2. Ruth, I just signed onto this website because of losses of my own, but you touched my heart. It was many years ago that I lost my best pet-friend, a little, silly, funny, bird--we went through a lot together. Sam's death (his name) was the worst thing that happened to me at that time. I still dream of that little bird and he's sitting on my shoulder, singing his heart out. You go ahead and grieve, Ruth. Max's loss was a major blow to you--but please stop the guilt! You did the best you could and no one will ever know that more than Max. I truly believe that animals have souls that live on and one of my most comforting ideas is that my Sam will be singing at the end of that tunnel, just waiting for me. Max will be there for you, too. Blessings
