In the short time since I lost my Tigerpaws, I have learned that people do understand and do care. Everyone who has come to this web site knows what I and all of us have, are and will be feeling about the loss of our dear friends. I have learned that because we love our 4 leggeds as our children, they in turn love us, and they don't want us to hurt. I have learned that the gift they have given us is letting us love them, and because loving an animal is our nature, I have learned that it is O.K. to bring another into our lives. A new furperson will come to us when it is time, and those that have left us do approve, and those that have left us understand because not loving another would leave us empty inside, emptier than losing our friends, and our dear friends would not want us that way

Thank You to all here for your kind thoughts and prayers, you haven't taken away the hurt, you HAVE taken away hurting alone, and that has made all the difference.

Be Well,

Mark

Thank you Mark. Your words are very encouraging for me right now. I am so sorry for the loss of your baby. Boo Boo Kitty's Mom

Mark,
You are so right, and all of us feel exactly the same way.
And not hurting alone -- I agree. Since I found this list I have learned so much about love and loss, and common grief has helped tremendously with my own. I thank everyone too, and hope the coming New Year will be one of new beginnings but never looking back from what was lost, just looking forward to each passing day with thoughts of the past and not forgetting but holding dear what went before.
My wish is healing for those who are still coping with loss and still in the throes of grief. Things will get better, slowly perhaps but they will. Your baby will guide you along the pathway of life and still be with you, though you can't see or touch him/her they are still with you, and always will be!

You said it beautifully and I agree with you completely.

Thank you.
