Adjusting

Thank you everyone for all your kind words, comments and emails. It's been a rough few days. I haven't stopped crying. The worst is in the morning when I come downstairs, when I get home from work and when I'm in bed, trying to sleep. I keep expecting to see Jazz greet me. I miss the sound of her pattering around, they way her tags would clink her bowl, even her deep belly meows telling me it was time to wake up in the morning. My girl was a very early riser, thanks in part to my mom.

At least I have the distraction of going to work, Shawn is now working from home. He's here on his own all day. He would check up on Jazz to see how she was doing, now he doesn't have that.

I've been thinking of the irony of the name of the blog. In the past few years, our family has been shrinking, not growing. I wonder sometimes if it will ever come to fruition.

Im going through the same thing. I used to wake up from my naps (work night shift) and Lucy would know I was awake and bark. I miss her making her nest on the couch. Its still odd to think of her in the past tense!

I'm so sorry. You have been on my mind so much this week. Jazz has Cheetah with her and today, a new friend joined her there. We're having a tough time over here as well. Stay strong, my friend.

Hang in there, D, it will get better, I promise. This is so hard for you guys! I've been thinking about you and wondering how you are doing. My thoughts are with you.

I think of you so often and know the ache of this loss is one of the toughest any of us go through...

Don't be fooled by the illusion that those you love are 'gone'. Every single thing in life is temporary, including separation by death- your angels are watching over you, and I have no doubts you will see them again one day.

As for your future and you're family growing- it starts first in your heart- it will come to fruition, of this I am certain.

Snowflowers Mum said...

so sorry. we lost two of our pets just days before we left for China in 2005...it was tough on us and tough on our last dog, who I think felt terribly abandoned.

I hope that the pain is replaced with fond memories very soon
