I had to wait a bit before I could comment. :) <br /><br />I am so... what would be a good word? happy? glad? proud? something in that family anyway... that you are in a place where Buddy's death is survivable. I am glad the other kitties have stepped up and helped out. I had to laugh at the mac and cheese because I HAD to give some of that to one of my cats the other day. <br /><br />My heart goes out to you as you traverse this difficult time.. Buddy was a blessing for you, and soon, I hope, the memories only bring happy memories.Connie - Tails from the Foster Kittenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127077337743262149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961605850025742393.post-23834949752603137802016-09-15T12:35:12.849-04:002016-09-15T12:35:12.849-04:00grief is so different yet familiar for all of us. ...grief is so different yet familiar for all of us. after losing Tim, the hardest part was bringing in the empty carrier.

They seem to know intuitively what you need. At least that's been my experience and it's helped ease the pain.<br /><br />Loss is the tough part of sharing your life with a pet but the love and joy they bring you makes it all worth it. Part of Buddy will always be with you.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03103505401781801903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961605850025742393.post-21734338719035467422016-09-11T18:00:06.172-04:002016-09-11T18:00:06.172-04:00Wow, what a post!

I'm still experiencing it even all these months later. I am so glad that Mr. Toes has come to stay with me for awhile now, he has helped ease the grief. When he moves on with his owner I'll be ready to bring another cat into my life. I'm so glad you are healing and the tears are a part of that.

I am glad, if I can be that, that the Grief is not overloading you, that you can feel it and also feel the reason for it, the deep love you shared with someone you have a very strong connection with. There is an immense beauty in what you are feeling and I hope that as time progresses more of that strong connection of love you have for Buddy will help heal your heart of the absence of his presence.ANGEL ABBYGRACEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777233381092226583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961605850025742393.post-2827308225731963412016-09-10T13:53:02.598-04:002016-09-10T13:53:02.598-04:00This post made me cry.

How fortunate we are to have shared our life with such wonderful cats. Each and everyone that has been with us and now gone was a blessing. I'm so glad the others are now stepping up to the plate and filling in for Buddy. I'm sure they miss him, too. May his memories continue to heal your heart. hugs, DebDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06817710263282488135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961605850025742393.post-27492357141155191562016-09-10T13:50:08.964-04:002016-09-10T13:50:08.964-04:00These extraordinary words will be helpful for many...These extraordinary words will be helpful for many of us when the time will come.
