I lost my old friend Lister 2 days ago, he was just short of 16 years old and failed to recover from an operation on his colon. I made the decision to let him go the moment he began to look miserable and I have no regrets about the course of events.

I feel devastated by the loss although I have to other cats his presence was so huge he has left a big gap in my life. I am coping with my grief the best I can but wonder what I can do to help my girls get through. Aggie was Lister's best friend, they were always cuddled up together and although she often protested she very clearly loved him, her relationship with my other cat Mona is very different and you rarely even find them in the same room.

Last night and this morning Aggie seems restless and distressed, pacing around and crying, I'm going to try her with some Bach flower remedies and wondered if anyone had any other tips for easing her grief.
