Well It's Been Over A Month .... Options

[kevnanama]

Hi again folks,
Well here we are at over a month since my girlfriend & I lost our close friend.
Safron was a 19 year old little brindle cat that I had the pleasure of knowing for about 6 years. I sit here at my desk with her ashes in a beautiful wood and stone box under the desk lamp where she is warm. We still miss her very much, her place on the vanity in the bathroom where she sat and ate we still do not put things there, I guess because that was her spot, and it seems funny to say this but we still feel her presence around here at times.
To all of you who have lost your close friends, I am sorry, I have read your postings and they bring tears to my eyes, because I know what you are going through. Some of you ask if it gets easier, it does with time, the loss gets easier to manage, but the ache inside lingers.
It's been said over and over agian pets give unconditional love, I know for myself that is why I hurt so bad when we had to put Saffy to sleep. There was no strings attached to her love, even on the way to the vet for the last time, I held her in my arms and she look at me her those big green eyes, purring, as if to say "its okay, I know it's time, and I still love you".
So do I still miss that little brindle cat, you bet ya, I plan to cry for her from time to time for many months to come.
Is she waiting for me, I don't know, one can only hope so, I do know this, she is without pain now, and that is important.
I consider myself very lucky to of had a friend like her in my life.
Good Night Saffy
We love you Brindle!

Oh, that is nice that you keep her warm. I always worry when I pick up Saki's urn and it is so cold. She hated the cold. She hid under blankets and was a wonderful snuggler...

I am glad that you seem to be doing so well...

Perhaps it is because you still feel her there.

love,

Jennifer
