Play happy at the Bridge, sweet beloved Roxanne.

Jo, I so feel for you. So many of us have been there - this is a horrible shock. 23 years is long, but never long enough for we humans as we love our furbabies so so much.

Just do what you have to do...don't hurry to put her things away, or 'should' yourself into thinking you should feel better. Take your own time. May you and Mark find comfort in each other.
