I'ts been 5 days since my cat Diapey died. My apartment is a total mess. But I don't want to vacuum because it will suck up her cat hair and I feel like it will be "erasing" her from ever being here. And I don't want to wash the blanket on top of my bed because I think that too will be wiping her away. If I wash the blanket and vacuum, what's left here of her?! Does anyone else feel like that?
I'm supposed to go on vacation with friends a week from tomorrow and I just don't think I'll be up for it. Should I make myself go? Any recommendations? If I don't go, how do I explain this to my friends without sounding like a crazy person? And it really sucks to to wake up in the morning, and as soon as I open my eyes, my heart just sinks. I don't even have to think about her; my heart is so heavy. Thanks for listening again. And I am sorry to all those who have lost their pets too. -Tammy |

Tammy -
I'm so sorry for your loss.....I believe more people than you might think can relate to not wanting to vacuum right away....at least I can....After Magee passed away I waited about 2 weeks before I could bring myself to vacuum...even though she was a golden retriever w/PLENTY of hair I knew I had to do it...but her bed on the other hand is a different story...I never washed it and never plan to...I simply put it in the back of our closet...because i can still smell her on it, so that is something I never want to wash...and if we were to get another dog, I would simply get a new bed...that was Magee's bed and hers only. As far as your vacation plans, if I were you I would go...I know I started to feel guilty when I wasn't consumed 24/7 with thoughts of Magee, but it made the days "a little" easier when I spent them w/friends and family...I would give it a try....if it's really bad, maybe you can just go home early Take each day one at a time....Jen |
