Sweet Little Chan Passed Away Last Friday..... Options

[JanEeee]

My darling kitten moved on to another experience early last Friday. She was such a sparkling personality, embracing life and so full of joy, it seems impossible that she is gone. She went quickly, so unexpectedly, only 5 months old.

I think one of the hardest things is that I was out of town the entire time she was sick. I could only manage a few phone calls, mostly it was by email that I learned of her serious condition. She left before I could return home.

Perhaps it was a blessing of sorts not to have to see her so frail and thin, so very sick. I feel very lucky that my cat care person did such a great job.

So hard to be back home without that bouncy little bundle of love, she would perch on my shoulder and refuse to switch to the usual lap sitting. I think she thought she was part parrot!

Miss her miss her miss her.

Lost another dear cat friend in 2008, Molly Malone, and then Mr X in 2009. Very hard to have to go through this again.

Hi, Jan, thank you so o much for sharing the wonderful postcard with us. What a sweet card for you to keep with your precious Chan's mementos.

It is important for you to do whatever you feel best to help you in your grief journey - - both for your physical and emotional health. I know what you mean about it being hard to feel like a part of life when your heart is grieving the physical absence of a very important part of you. It never ceases to amaze me how life goes on - - doesn't miss a beat. Decisions have to be made, bills have to be paid, chores need to be done, errands need to be run, jobs need to be done - - but it's as if we're on what I call "automatic pilot."

I hope Zouzou and Tedly are doing well these days. I know you are keeping loving watch over them. Please know you and your fur tribe are in my thoughts and prayers, Jan, and will look forward to knowing how you're doing.

Peace and blessings,
