I started looking at Sherry's pictures today for a photo memorial to place by her urn and pawprints and the tears started flowing again. She was so beautiful and sweet and because of my being so wrapped up in taking care of another cat who had pancreatic cancer for several years Daisy ( who died in nov.) and the oldest two cats who were in and out of the hospital this winter I was swamped with soaring vet bills. Plus my husband brought home a new kitten without discussing it 2 days after Daisy died. Sherry was devastated and her health went downhill fast. I know it wasn't deliberate but my baby's still dead and ironically she and Daisy who were so close were the most affectionate of my 6 cats. I know we have to try and get through this somehow but some days are worse than others. It's like an emotional roller coaster.

Rena,

For me, the sorrow of the past two years has been like standing in a large cold body of water. Sometimes little ripples swirl around my feet, and I can, more or less step over, and move on; sometimes it's deep and cold and still. Sometimes great crashing waves come out of nowhere and all I can do is try to ride them. Sometimes I wipe-out. I understand your roller-coaster comparison completely. All you can do is " hang on".

meanwhile hugs from me and mine,
Dayna
