Grief Options

[BabyHenry]

Yesterday, I came home from work to find my best "old man" cat Sweet Spot dead in his sleep in his favorite spot by the window. He was 16, and getting arthritic, but otherwise seemed perky and had no health problems.
He was a good friend, and even though I know he lived a long life for a cat, I am still deeply sad and heartbroken.
He slept on my pillow at night. I will miss so much waking up to his fish breath.

Love you Spotty. I hate this so much. It just hurts.

Dear Spot:

Its the 5th. 3 days until its been 2 months since I came home and found your little wise soul had left us. I miss you every day, especially at night when there is no one sleeping on my pillow. I love you. Thank you for appearing at the door that May day with your little paw pressed up against the window, and being our loving friend for the 13 years thereafter.

Love, me.
