@momee Hi Maureen. How are you doing now? Toni
- Maureen replied 3 years ago
  Hi Toni, thank you for your concern. I guess I am doing okay. I have been trying to be positive. I am trying to move ahead and Im finding it hard. Life is empty without my Romeo and each day is is a challenge for me because there wasn’t a single thing that didn’t involve him. I still cry a lot. He used to be everywhere in this house and was a constant in my life and now it is empty. I will continue to try and remember the happy times of our life together instead of those last final moments and hope that with time the pain in my heart will ease.
  Thank you so much for thinking of me.

  We DO think of you, Maureen. Trying to be positive is how we do it – one sweet memory at a time until we have a few, then more, until most of our thoughts are happy and grateful. It’s a process and only you can move through it, but you don’t have to be alone. We’re here for you. {{HUGS}} Toni

  My thoughts are lonely. Thinking of you Maureen.

  Brony, do you have family or friends around you? Would it be possible for you to visit a shelter and maybe volunteer to walk dogs or clean cages? Something to occupy yourself and be around people and animals? Toni

  I adopted crazy Lucy. When she isn’t stealing a hot dog, I enjoy watching movies with her. I am recovering from a stroke so as awesome as it sounds, I wouldn’t be any good at the shelters. I live alone with two friends, and no family. Even with this crazy cat I get down sometimes. Lulu was my inspiration, I was lost without her. But animals are the best, Lucy doesn’t even look at the walker as a weird part of me.. Don’t feel bad, at least I can talk and I’m working on my walking. I am slow at everything, but you know the saying, slow but determined. Like the rabbit and tortoise. I will keep going. God made me this way. He has a funny sense of humor.

  Brony, thank you . My thoughts are lonely too. I think about you too and hope you are managing with crazy Lucy. She sounds like a handful, but, also a very special. I know having her brings you a little joy and helps with your loss.
  You have a great attitude and you will overcome the damage of that stroke. You may be the tortoise, but, the tortoise won and you will too.
  I am pulling for you and wish you well xx

  Toni, I am grateful for your kindness and encouragement. Although, I am still having a hard time remembering happy memories of Romeo at time, I do remember them sometimes. I haven’t dreamt of him and aside from looking at his photos, I’m not able to see him clearly in my minds eye and that is disturbing to me. I’ve read that it might be because I’m still so full of grief. I am trying to get past this, but it’s hard when it starts over again every si g morning when I wake up and realize he is gone. The morning ritual is gone and is a constant reminder. I am better for sure and I am just taking more time than some to get through. But, that’s okay.

  Maureen it’s because of people like you that make my days a little easier. Thank you. Believe me when I say it takes time. Take all time you need. I still call Lucy, Lulu. Thirteen years is a hard habit to break. My blessing to you.

  Hi Brony, I’m just checking in with you and hoping you are feeling better and that Lucy is helping you mend. Sending you lots of hugs xx
