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

I'm with you on the not wanting to vacuum. What's really gross is that I haven't even washed our bedding, partly because I don't want to lose any of her hair, and partly because it was Maxwell's favorite part of the week when I would re-make the bed with everything out of the dryer. She acted like it was a field of catnip and just went crazy! It's been one week today, and I'm still not ready. Take your time, do it when you think you can handle it.
