Thank you everybody for you kind words. I am devastated as you know.
I have bought a cat journal to write letters to Jack. I read about in on a pet bereavement website and thought it was a good idea, so I can write letters to him about how much I miss him, how much I love him, and what he is doing now and everything I think about him. My thoughts that are there, that I need to express.

Has anybody else done anything like that? Kept a journal or written letters?

I am also going to make a scrapbook album of photographs of him too so I have a nice keepsake.

Has anybody else done creative things to help them mourn and grieve?

What beautiful pictures of Jack. Words just don't seem to comfort when we loose someone as dear as Jack was to you. (((HUGS))) Please give some extra lovings to Sunny for me as well, she is grieving Jack's loss as well.

When I lost my first fur-baby "Tony" I made a special collage frame with some of my favorite pictures of him. I also had his remains returned to me and he sits now with his sister Tigger right above my bed. I have a beautiful print picture of a tabby kitty looking out the window of a house. The kitty is looking down a gravel path. I have this print right above Tigger and Tony and it comforts me as the print reminds me that my babies are waiting for the day when I will come walking down the path to see them again.

I think your journal to Jack is a very lovely and touching. Again (((HUGS))) ---Meg

Those are wonderful pictures of Jack. Thank you for sharing them with us.

I had not heard of keeping a journal, but I think it's a great idea.
When our Cocker passed Bruce made a memorial slideshow including pictures and video. There are some creative people here on PT, maybe someone would be willing to do that for Kate...? I would, but I'm not so creative.
Also, when my brothers dog died I made a collage frame of pictures like Meg mentions above for the family.
We also have DJ's (the cocker) remains on a shelf along with a couple pictures of him, two of his collars and his favorite toy.

I hope you can find comfort in writing in the journal to Jack. Please give some loving to Sunny for me.
