Hi All! It's been a while since I posted but it's comforting to see familiar posters.
I helped my best friend cross the bridge 2 days after Christmas last year. I was afraid my kids would corralate her death with the holiday and ruin it for them forever. Well, they were fine this year but I was a mess. If it wasn't for them, I would have slept my way until New years.

It's weird...her Bday was in November, & I was sad but I bought gifts for my other fur pets and had a little "party" celebrating her life. But Xmas brought back all the memories of her agonizing health decline, her undefeatable spirit and the excruchiating pain of saying good-bye.

Do anniversaries ever get easier?

And I thought 3 , 4, 5 months was long to grieve every single day...
I am so sorry for your loss.
I lost my baby boy, half of JackyJilly, and my poor Jilly lost her Jacky. We are still drifting trying to fill up the hole in our lives so we won't sink. I put their story up on FLICKR. They have been incredibly photographed kitties. Now sometimes I stay up all night preparing images to post and struggle with whether to write Jacky's captions in past or present tense.
