Thanks for checking on me. Once in a while I think maybe I am doing better. But, I still am not able to get through a day without tears. I am t lonely and this staying home by myself day after day and this dreary weather isn’t helping. I have come to the decision that I need a new little furbaby. My Bruce and several others are looking to see if anyone has a little girl they are looking to re-home. so far, nothing. I am trusting God that if is His will, in time we will find one. View

We’re here with you, Martha. That is a great photo of Missy.
Martha, It’s good to hear from you and have you share with us. It’s only been three months since you and Missy parted, and I think the holidays bring up memories that trigger strong emotions – good, and sad. You are always welcome to share more pictures of Missy with us, and if you think a lasting Memorial for her will be healing and helpful, you can create and maintain one in our Memorial tab: https://www.faithfulfriends.com/memorials/.
It took me a long time to welcome a new love into my heart, but I am so filled with her love now that I am glad the time finally came for us. Maybe one day you will be ready, maybe not. Right now you are moving through your grief and missing her among friends who understand and care. We want to hear from you, and about you. I hope this {HUG} carries my sympathy. Stay in touch with us, Martha.
/hank you Cody. She was my life. I am a senior disabled widow and it was just her and I.
Thank you Toni. The tears just will not stop. Even when I am not consciously thinking about her they come. I wake up with my pillow wet with them.
Yes, I get that, Martha. Did you know the chemicals in tears are different when they are from joy vs. grief? Tears can release ‘negative’ chemicals to help heal. Even though my old girl is doing okay now, sometimes I am overcome by tears from deep within – it’s not something we control, nor should we. I think we should each write down a happy memory every day and one day, you’ll be smiling (possibly through tears, but happy for the time you had together). It takes time, Martha. And these darned holidays just don’t help, do they?
Martha, are you doing a bit better?
Thank you Toni. Some days I think I am doing better but then, I am right back to crying.
Yep. That is relatable, and understandable, Martha. I think it’s because the love we share is truly at a deep, soulful level – cellular in a way, and the tears really do come from a place that is different. You stay with us, we’re here for, and with you.
OH! would you share more pictures of Missy with us if you have some?
