    Sending Love~

    Oh Pat... It's understandable, the the sadness and fatigue you're feeling. When caring for a seriously furkid, so much of our mental and physical energy goes into their care, so much so that you almost don't have time to contemplate the depth of the loss you know will come. But after saying our final goodbyes the reality slowly sinks in, their absence felt so acutely...not hearing their mews, not seeing them in their favorites spots. I know how much devotion and love you put into caring for precious Poppy. No kitty ever had a more devoted mom than you, Pat. Now you need to care for yourself, rest up, and hopefully in time those cherished memories will more often bring a smile to your face than a tear to your eye. And never forget, she's there with you, always.

    (((HUGS))) and love to you, Sparkler and Angel Poppy~

    Pat, I am so sorry that you are having a hard time. Grief is such an unpredictable and seemingly cruel emotion, it will show up unexpectedly, and/or linger.
    It is important that you take care of yourself, but also allow yourself to grieve however long it takes.
    Poppy is there with you, and she will help you through those difficult times, and she will also remind you of all the unconditional love and joy you two shared.

    Thank you so much, Elyse and Sandra and Heidi, for your kind and loving words and thoughts.

    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.

    So very sorry to hear the grief you are going through at this painful time. Wishing for your heart to heal and that gradually as most of us know, the pain lessens and becomes easier to bear. Please know, hearts go out to you in every way and for however long it lasts. So sorry again for your loss.
