Dear Rush, I've recently been through the same. I hope what I wrote helps you, too...

SPIRITUAL LESSONS FROM A DYING CAT

[Utilizer]

Laz. Good to see you're still about, mate. It was difficult enough reading about your own loss, and now this one as well although difficult has brought forth many happy memories that I hope you can relate to.

I was recently hospitalized with a severe diagnosis that involved a few difficulties, enough that family was quite worried about the chances. Had more than one family member get irritated at the possibility that I might be leaving soon and did not seem overly concerned about it, but really; My best friend who trusted Me completely despite his furry, raspy-licked statements of affection, and a woman most wonderful are on the other side, so I have no fears left to fret about.

And please ignore the occasional mis-spelling or mis-type in this posting. Hard to type when the bloody screen keeps getting all blurred up...

Just now reading your thread you linked to here. So sorry to hear about Cathy. That was a wonderful story and I pray that you continue to heal and grasp the “gift” she gave you by her all-too-short presence in your life. I don't think even a moment is wasted in our lives and the Bible says God has saved up our tears in a bottle - meaning that not even one tear we shed is not known by Him and cared about (Psalm 56:8). I hope you can open your heart to another kitteh soon, they have God-given power to heal us.
