        Carla, you HAVE been through a lot of loss and it’s understandable that you are not doing okay. If you like, we have a wonderful counsellor about grief – Glenn Swain of Heartfelt Farewells – who works with some of our community. It may be helpful for you to contact him. (Click ‘Our Friends’ at the bottom of this page to get to his information). I really understand how you and Miracle were connected. You went through so many good, great, and really terrible times together. Was he ill? Was dying a relief and release for him? If so, that’s one of the hardest, yet best, ways to say goodbye – knowing Miracle is not suffering. Whatever the reason for his passing, you are now suffering the emptiness of your home and heart, and that is so very painful. You need time, and support from those of us who truly understand the depth of your grief, to move forward. Little things – everything – carries a memory, and you should allow yourself the kindness to feel both the pain, and the joy those memories bring, knowing you would not have lived without the love, even though the pain is so hard. Talk to Glenn, and to us, and let us know how you are coming along. I will be thinking of you, and along with everyone here, sending you heartfelt sympathy. Here is a {HUG} for you.
