I could have written this myself. I also heard her toenails. The pain is unbearable, but it will ease in time. It's been 5 weeks for me. Going to the support group helped me to realize that I am not alone in my grief. Others have suffered losses even greater and more painful than mine. (witnessing the violent deaths of their beloved pets, for example) A personal health crisis shifted my focus for awhile; the engagement of my daughter lifted my spirits and convinced me that life will go on and that there will be things to be happy about. My thoughts are with you in your time of loss. Get whatever help you need. This can indeed be worse than the loss of a human family member.

I would like to keep in touch with those of you that I met Saturday morning at the Bereavement Support Group meeting at the Hospice of the Valley building. I particularly would like to get the names of the animal communicators that Cheryl and Debra used. If either of you or any of the others I met would like to speak with me online, I would like to communicate with you. Love and healing wishes to Mike, Elin, Joanne and Van, Christy, Debra, Cheryl and thanks to Mara. Renay

We lost our Beloved Chelsea 2 weeks ago. After 15 years of devoted companionship we are lost and lonely. I hope that time and knowing others share our loss will help the pain. Renay
