Recent Losses, (wanting to check in with everyone) Options

[LittleGirl's...]

Hi everyone,

Sorry I haven't been around to help others through their losses! This past winter I went into a depression that was so bad that I didn't know whether I'd come out of it (not out yet, but functioning again). I lost my mom on Dec. 16, and I lost my dog Farmey on Feb. 8.

For some reason I couldn't even come here and share. Even to type a few words seemed like too much of an effort, but I know now that this is where I belonged, and if I had made it here, it could have made a big difference.

I'll attach a picture of Farmey (whoops - just tried 2wice and I can't. I keep getting error messages). To give you just a little background, I adopted him 2 years ago when he was a "chained dog", outside 24 hours a day (in MAINE!!), almost 365 days a year. He was 13 then, and shortly after I adopted him, he became ill from tainted pet food ! He survived that and went on to have a fulfilling life. He brought joy to everyone whose life he touched.

For the past year of his life, he used a wheelchair/walker on his walks, and he loved using it. He still ran just like a puppy!

I miss both him and my mom dearly.

I'm sorry about all of the losses you all are experiencing. I will spend more time here and catch up with you.

Love to all,

Kathy

Kathy, I am sorry to hear of your loss of your Mom in Dec. and of Farmey in Feb. I will pray that your depression will ease, and your mind be filled with many precious memories of your loved ones. Thank goodness you adopted Farmey and rescued him off of that chain. I can only imagine how happy that made him. I look forward to hearing more about him. And hope you'll be able to attach a picture soon.
