Will Things Ever Get Better?, More Loss of a different kind Options

[Shortrish]

I am still suffering from the loss of our Scooter. Our 3 other cats, are still acting strange. I still can't talk to my family, I tried, but no understanding there. I was invited to go to my sons home this weekend, and I mentioned that my 3 other cats were still mourning a bit. I told my mom this, an she said, oh the cat's will be fine, you need to get out and be with people. Well, I lost my job today on top of everything else. They wanted somone with no experience. I left the job I had because it was closer to home and better pay. Their office is such a mess with billing, that now the drs decided they really needed someone with more experience. So, it's no wonder I don't want to be around anyone in the physical sense. Writing here is fine, but being around people physically, no way. No wonder I love animals so much, they love you unconditionally and give you comfort no matter what. Everything just seems to be coming at me at once, and I don't understand why just yet. There's other stuff going on too. I knew I wanted to stay in bed for a reason today. I miss our Scooter so much, I keep looking in his kitty cube where he used to sleep during the day, expecting to see him there. The other cats have not gone in it since he's been gone. They still look for him too. Just so much pain here right now, and not enough tears to take the hurt away.

I'm sorry you're having a tough time. It always seems like things happen all at once. But there are reasons why things happen. Just try to take care of yourself and pray. I think that sometimes that is all I have left is my faith that things will get better. I've been having a tough time with the job lately. Just stay strong and don't give up you're fighting spirit. We are all survivors and you will get through this. Keep the faith. You will one day look back on this time and know that it helped to make you stronger. Not easy to believe sometimes, but it is true.

Take good care,
