Re: hum...now sad...

Cathy, I am so sorry for the loss of your dear Jason. How awful it  must have 
been for him with all that suffering, and for you, watching him go  through 
it.
 
Most of us have been through the loss of beloved pets, and there  seems to be 
so little, if anything, to ease our pain. Society in general doesn't  really 
take our emotional attachments to pets that seriously, and while we  endure 
such awful grief, we have a buried, nagging feeling that we shouldn't  feel that 
way. Afterall, it's just a cat! (dog, bird, fish, etc.) 
 
Some people find a bit of solace in burying their pets, either in  their own 
yards, or at a pet cemetery. I have always had mine cremated, then I  plant 
whatever plants I can find that have names the same or similar to theirs.  When 
I lost my dearly beloved Akita, Tilly, I planted a dwarf Japanese Maple in  
her honor, and when I moved, I was able to dig it up and take it with me. 
 
I better stop now- I can't type through tears. Take time to grieve,  Cathy, 
and do whatever eases your pain.
 
Hugggs,
