EvEf, please don't blame yourself. I am sure your sweet little Casper would not want for you to torture yourself with guilt. But guilt is part of the grief journey, and I too have blamed myself lots of times for losing my Danny boy. Guilt can be so paralyzing, and can sometimes leave us stuck in the grief journey. Identify your regrets, write them down, ask God to take them off your mind and your heart. It may help you to start a journal and write about your feelings. Please know that we are all here for you to offer comfort, support, and encouragement for as long as you need it.

Hugs,
DannysMom

Hello Pipsqueak and Etchart

My heart goes out to both of you for the oh-so-recent passing of your beloved ferret and cat. Animals related so much differently than people do (thank goodness). They don't have an agenda - you love them, they love you. Every once in a great while a very special spirit-animal finds you - his or her soul-mate. You get to experience the best loving connection there is in this world. And then they're gone. But they're not gone. people and animals are made of the same soul stuff. They came to us from the Perfect World, so vastly enriched our lives and our hearts, and then went back. But, like us, they live on in that Perfect World, watching over us, protecting us, loving us and being loved by us.

I lost my Gretta almost a year ago. She's the kindest Chocolate lab who ever lived. The first few weeks were like being constantly shot in the heart with a high powered rifle. After that it's the Robot-walk. You're on the verge of tears all the time and are just mechanically walking through the "stuff" of life.

Please know that you have come to exactly the right place. Everybody here is going through or has gone through the pain and grief that you're going through now. Most of us would take it on ourselves again rather than have someone else - like you two - have to do now. We're a band of brothers and sisters who hold each other up and are just trying to live lives worthy of the spirit-animal who loved us.

Peace and blessings to both of you.

Gretta's mom
