For a while I have tried to find a thread I had started when I joined the forum that could be a "home" thread for me.
Being busy about the forum has been a coping style, where I can acknowledge all my different life experiences that had been silenced. Possibly do some good and prevent things from getting worse. Like the little boy with the finger in the dyke.

I am so very, very sorry that you have lost your cat @Appleblossom It doesn't matter their age or health it is still a big hole that they leave. Take your time to grieve as you need Hon - they are part of the family and much loved and that is hard to get over. Very much thinking of you and sending you a whole lot of love

@Appleblossom ... I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved pet ... Patch will be sorely missed I know. Sounds like he had a long and happy life with you, living to 18.5 is testament to how well you took care of him. Grieve as and when you need to ... they are a family member, just like any other. My thoughts are with you. Sending hugs and happy memories your way.
