Daisy's 'here'.. :-) Can't believe how many times I catch myself getting ready to let her out, or to ask her if she wants a bite. She was a rescue that we found (or rather she found us) when she was about 1.

Agreed with everything you said, nothing is lost for good, and TY for your reply!

This is my thang. Remember, we are all eternal, and we're just passing through. Nothing is lost for good. After an NDE, not to mention a cat that 'talked' to both me and Brian in the studio after she was killed, proved it. There's more, but I think I'll let the 'sleeping ghosts' lie, for the sake of not sounding pretentious or so far removed from reality that I should be sent to John George or sumthin'.

: Grieving, when you have lost a loved one, albeit a person, a
: beloved pet, or even (in some cases) a possession, is
: natural. Most all of us do it.

: Only time and tears take away grief, that is what they are
: for. Grief is the price we pay for love, and as JR Tolkien
: said, 'not all tears are evil.' The weird, weird thing
: about devastating loss is that life actually does go on.

: Like all of you, I've lost family, friends and pets. A week
: ago, I lost my beloved partner in crime. My amazing
: 14-year-old boxer, 'Crazy Daisy'. I'm not mentioning this
: for sympathy, I'm mentioning this as a way to show you that
: we all grieve. The largest group of humanity are the ones
: who mourn what we have lost. Through the grief, we learn to
: stand up again, to engage in life again, to accept the
: loss; to become stronger from the experience of their love.
: Finally, we learn to love again.

: The Buddhist will tell you that attachment is our downfall.
: Might I propose that attachment (and compassion) is what
: makes us strong!

: Learning every day,
