Laura, you are so right. A proper funeral DOES help. And really, a gravesite visit is a calming thing, too.

But nothing will take away that awful empty feeling in the pit of your chest, even another little one to love or time, although both help.

You gave Kitty Boy 12 good years of love and devotion and he'll give them back to you in memories to cherish.

Rest in Peace, little Kitty Boy.
