Losing a fu...I agree with everything else has said. Losing a furry companion is more than difficult -- it's heart-wrenching.<br /><br />Connecting with old friends can be a dual edged sword. I've re-connected with many of my old schoolmates. Hearing how others preceived a childhood in the same small town with the same teachers and classmates -- can be a bit eye-opening. I have enjoyed it very much. But, it also has made me remember some things that I had conveniently forgotten through my selective memory.<br /><br />If you have the chance to re-connect, I suggest to do it. I used Classmates and Facebook. It has been interesting.Lindahttp://www.immortalalcoholic.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-25658292830653757272011-05-15T06:51:56.201-04:002011-05-15T06:51:56.201-04:00Ahh I am so glad that your heart is not closed fro...Ahh I am so glad that your heart is not closed from grief and you are open to being wounded by loss of loved ones. <br /><br />"I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow<br />if you have been opened by life's betrayals<br />or have become shrivelled and closed<br />from fear of further pain."<br />Oriah mountain dreamer the invitation<br /><br />I feel like I carry people in my heart so they are never very far away. living or deceased. I could be in denial for all I know but if I think of people I feel their presence/essence. So i just dont have the feeling of separation so much. The most difficult thing for mr is observing their suffering and being powerless over it. <br />Thank you for sharing this with us Syd and I hope you have the strength to go through this difficult stage as best you can.

I use the same thought when I stop to remove an animal from the road - just to maintain its lifeless dignity. I can envision wings sprouting from the carcass and shaking it loose to rise into the sky - until out of sight.<br /><br />Right now, I simply hug you and wish you a period of tender farewell to your beloved four-footed friend.<br /><br />Tearfully, but with love,<br />Anonymous #1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-25613879667133165252011-05-14T09:35:31.680-04:002011-05-14T09:35:31.680-04:00So sorry Timmi is fading.

One of my close friends had to put her dog down this week and it has been a very sad time for her. Having done it myself, I know what a hard thing it is to do and how painful it can be. As hard as it might be at this time, try to remember all of the wonderful things you have shared and know that you have made a huge impact on this amazing dog's life.Positively Presenthttp://www.positivelypresent.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-36979054052635023712011-05-14T07:51:41.512-04:002011-05-14T07:51:41.512-04:00I'm so thinking of you.
