The tears that unexpectedly from a word written or spoken. On Thursday it will be 9 months.

Even without a recent loss, this time of year remains very difficult for her as her dad died several years ago on Dec. 26, and Dec. 24 was her granddad's birthday. Mommy says there's always something to be sad about, but that we have friends, family and other anipals who love us and whom we love, so even though we are grieving, we should try to use a portion of our energy to enjoy the good things around us. Those we have lost would want that for us. She really hopes that you will be able to do that, Debra.

I remember I had decorated a tree, but on Christmas Eve I took it all down, I couldn't bear it. It took several Christmases after that before I could have a tree up for the entire season.<br /><br />So you just do whatever it is that you need to do to get you through it.<br /><br />Peace.Fuzzy Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505853082591216696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15439608.post-85699984779423340472013-12-13T17:56:47.079-05:002013-12-13T17:56:47.079-05:00The mom recalls a Christmas 12 years ago when she ...The mom recalls a Christmas 12 years ago when she lost her first cat.
