Mary

Oh Mary, that is a lot to lose almost exactly a year apart for three years. I understand how you must be walking through a fog of grief. I will share a story I haven’t thought of in years, and maybe we can make some sense of Gizmo’s passing: I had 3 cats and one was just a kitten who would not go outside. I had to pick her up and take her out. One night, one of the other cats walked in through the sliding door I held open for her and the kitten jumped over that cat – something she never, ever did. Ever. She did not go outside. When the kitten didn’t come in after a few minutes, I sent the other cat to find her and she came back to the door and I knew …. the kitten had been hit and killed. I have always wondered if the kitten was somehow compelled to not only go out that night, but to actually jump over the back of the other cat to do so. We’ll never know about my kitten, or your Gizmo, but maybe there are reasons why these tragedies happen to our little innocents….I don’t know, but I am very sad and sorry for your losses. And Thank You for being so kind and generous by opening your home and heart to more new loves. Please, let us know how you are coming along.

I am so sorry to hear about the lose of your precious fur babies – I’ve lost several around the same time – within a few year time span- because we adopted them all around the same age – we knew 10-15 years down the road they would all start to pass away…
Happy to hear that you’re helping your heart heal but adopting again – a new one never replaces but helps the heart to heal.
I lost a little girl and have been using the book Griffin’s heart- it helps to read the stories as well as journal feelings down … wishing you much peace! hugs, Terrilynn
