      Don't expect to much of yourself at this very early stage of grieving for your beloved pet. What has developed over a period of years cannot be let go of easily. My beloved little dog died in February and I still have not experienced a day when I haven't cried over her loss. Our pets are so central to our daily lives that the hole they leave cannot be easily filled. Holly's ashes lie at my head, under the bed, a favourite spot of hers, a little glass vial with some of her fur sits by my side and her basket and blanket will stay in our hall for a very, very, long time maybe forever. To part with these things would feel as if I was deserting her. Holly'spresence continues to fill her our home and I hope it always will. Let the tears flow, they are cleansing and a necessary part of grief. I know that one day we will all remember the happy days and smile at our baby's antics but it will not happen overnight. Give it time Please let me know how you are. Aileen

      I am so glad you got Murphy's ashes back. I keep Dusty's near my bed at night as that was one of his favorite spots. When I sell my home I'll have a better spot for his memorial so I can sit and talk to him when ever I want. The hardest thing for me is that other people won't talk with me about him or how much I miss him. My soon-to-be-ex husband is glad to be rid of the "bad cat". This site is the only place that anyone understands. I can cry all I want and not feel embarrassed. I hope you have someone to talk to about this but you can always come here. **hugs**

      I AM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. I KNOW JUST HOW YOU ARE FEELING. I LOST MY 2 LITTLE YORKIES 2 MONTHS APART. BELLE WAS 8 AND I LOST HER ON MARCH 24 THEN ON MAY 18 I LOST MY LITTLE MIA SHE WAS JUST 6. I TOOK ME 3 DAYS TO PICK UP THE DISH THAT STILL HAD FOOD IN IT AND TO TAKE AWAY THE WATER DISH. I JUST THE OTHER DAY TOOK DOWN HER LITTLE PLAYPEN IN MY ROOM THAT SHE SOMETIMES SLEPT IN. THE BOTH OF THEM MOSTLY SLEPT IN THE BED WITH ME BUT MIA WOULD SOMETIMES JUST JUMP IN HER PLAYPEN FROM THE BED AND SLEEP THERE TOO. IT IS VERY HARD TO REMOVE ALL THERE THINGS IT SEEMS SO FINAL. I MISS THEM EVERY SINGLE DAY. I STILL THINK SOMETIMES I SEE THEM THROUGH THE CORNER OF MY EYE. THEN I RELIZE THEY ARE NOT THERE. I JUST CRY. SO I KNOW JUST HOW YOU FEEL. I AM HERE IF YOU WANT TO TALK.

      You are not crazy...unless I am also. It's been six weeks since my sweet Dusty passed and I haven't washed his blanket (it still smells like him), done anything with his medicines or removed his favorite bed. In fact I found a grocery list in my purse that lists get "Dusty bandages" and I haven't thrown it out because it reminds me of his special needs and how much I loved taking care of him. At some point I will do some sort of ritual where I burn some of these items and keep them with his ashes at his memorial, but I can't for now. So don't feel crazy. Whatever it takes to keep you connected and lets you grieve at your own pace is all that's important. **hugs**
