Time Heals? Options

[Jess]

Everyone keeps telling me that time heals and that I will feel better with time, but the weird thing is, I don't feel like time is passing. I don't feel like I'm moving farther away from my cat's death. Every morning when I wake up, I feel like it happened the day before. It's like I'm stuck. Every morning, it feels like a fresh wound to my heart. I don't feel like I'm ever going to get past this and enjoy life again.

Hiya MJ, I too light candles for my little one. I do it every other day as they burn for 48 hours. I have at last managed to upload as my avatar a picture of my little Cheeky too. I put the image into a gallery picture and I love it.

Wow, our pets are the light of our lives aren't they? My little fella was a stray. I had been saying for ages that I wanted company as my husband worked for a newspaper and was out until the small hours of the morning. One afternoon I went to the front door and I saw a little blue ball of feathers outside in the gutter. The little mound of feathers stirred and then hopped and flew low in through the porch into my home and then into my lounge. We cut a box up and pushed a curtain rod through it and found a medication cup, filled it with water and then my husband went from shop to shop to find some food for himas itr was a Sunday and not many shops were open where we lived. By this time I had christened the ball of blue feathers Cheeky. It took a while for him to settle and not to be scared. I can't imagine how frightened he must have been when he was outside with all the other wild big birds, bless him.

Cheeky was my first ever pet. Thing is I know in my heart that my Dad sent him to me. When I was young, my Dad had a blue budgie and named him Cheeky and he adored my Dad and my Dad adored him too. When my little Cheeky bird flew into my life, my Dad had passed and I know in my heart he sent this beautiful little boy to me because I had wanted company.

My husband left me last November and being on my own was and is so very hard, but as I have no children or anyone close and hardly ever get to go out because I am disabled, having Cheeky in my life was such a big thing for me. I loved him so much and I know that he loved me.

May you have more and more peace of mind in regard to thinking of your lovely Joey every day. Hope to speak to you soon.
