Gina just in that post itself you said all that was needed, a simple kind loving gesture like saying you want to cry with me, is very comforting and it is always good to know that others share your grief and understand your pain, never doubt that and please do respond to people's threads, the one reason they write them is to share their pain with others who they know will understand. and help comfort them in their time of need

When I found Zara dead, I felt that i was the only one in the world who really really cared and loved her, because the pain I felt was so bad, but coming here made me not feel alone in my grief and I knew everyone understood where i was coming from and had experienced it on a level of some sort in their lives, it really did help, nothing will bring her little soul back, but there will always be a special place in my heart and memories for her, she was not a little cat that noone loved or cared for, and even though people on PT did not know her they felt something for her too.
