I came to LS 6 years ago when my special Tigerpaws went to the Rainbow Bridge. Everyone here was so kind and supportive and I am grateful for everyone. I have on occasion dropped by and read of peoples' losses and have cried with you. I know your pain. I guess it's my way of being supportive. Since I lost Tigerpaws, 6 kitties have come into my life, Lilly, the little black cat; Jack my little tuxedo buddy; Sasha, my sweet little gal; Captain Andy, the little guy; Cornelia Marie, my soft calico and Edgar, the big fella. What I have learned is it is necessary for me to have kitties because that is who I am. When Lilly came into my life about a month after I lost Tigerpaws, I wasn't sure I was ready, but it dawned on me that SHE was ready for me. It was her time to have a forever home. My Tigerpaws wouldn't have wanted me to not love another kitty, and I know she is glad I have kitties in my life. I see her in the eyes of my now kitties every once in a while and I know she purrs when I love on them.

Feel no sorrow, feel no pain
feel no hurt there's nothing gained
only love will then remain

Be Well All,

Mark

Hi, Mark, thank you so much for sharing with us how you're doing. It doesn't matter how much time passes in our grief adjustment journey - - each of our beloved companions have their own special place in our hearts even though we may have other precious companions in our hearts and homes who need our loving care.

I hope life is treating you and all of your precious companions kindly, Mark, and that you will feel your beloved Tigerpaws' sweet Living Spirit with you during this holiday season.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Hello Mark. Welcome back. I get where you are coming from when you say "What I have learned is it is necessary for me to have kitties because that is who I am. " I too can't see my life without kitties in it. Sir Thomas taught me that even though I'd had and been around cats all my life. I look forward to hearing more about your wonderful fur family.

Nature's first green is gold
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
