My condolences -- it is so hard
I lost my best friend for 16 1/2 years this past May (though Tasha was a dog) and I know what you are going through. I did not have to make the decision as she did but it was still hard. I also had her cremated and her ashes are here with me in my office and I plan on spreading them up in the park above where I live where she loved to run and chase the squirrls I cried harder over her passing than I did over my divorce --but then she was faithful and stayed with me through the good, bad and ugly. Have not gotten another dog yet, but it is hard to come home to an empty house though I do have two cats. One kitty was very close to Tasha and thought I would lose her afterwards as she did not eat for almost a week and just kept wanderng and wandering. But she then found an old towel that I used to wipe Tasha off after walking and started to sleep on that and came around. But I remember her in her younger years and feel that she is running through heaven and chasing everyone around up there. So remember the good times and though your heart is aching, as least she is out of her suffering and pain. They give so much and ask for so little. Again, prayers and hugs to you. Patti
My condolences - just kidding
What a beautiful bride she is, and a really cute couple they make. I wish them all the happiness for their future and wish them many years of laughter and good health.
May you find comfort in the below, My condolences.
When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME
Author Unknown
When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see;
The sun will rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
Remembering how I'd lay my head
In your lap that special way.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me.
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name
And petted me with her hand.
She said my place was ready,
In Heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
But, as I turned to heel away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life I never thought
That I would have to die.
I had so much to live for,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought about our lives together,
I know you must be sad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for awhile,
I'd purr and kiss you,
Just so I could see you smile.
But, then I fully realized,
That this could never be;
For emptiness and memories
Will take the place of me.
And when I thought of treats and toys,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you and when I did,
My cat-heart filled with sorrow.
But then I walked through Heaven's gate,
And felt so much at home;
As God looked down and smiled at me,
From His beautiful golden throne.
He said, "This is eternity,
And now we welcome you,
Today your life on earth is past,
But here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last;
For you see, each days's the same day,
There's no longing for the past.
Now you have been so faithful,
So trusting, loyal and true;
Though there were times you did things,
You knew you shouldn't do.
But good cats are forgiven,
And now at last you're free;
So won't you sit here by my side,
And wait right here with me?"
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart.
For every time you think of me,
I'm right there, in your heart.
Farewell Sweet Sixer, condolences 2U.

You accept this-- don't believe this
Sister in law or not I would be reporting this. This chow could easily do this to a small child or a person. Give me a break -- you love your kitties -- yea sure. I am so upset right now can hardly type. Don't want to make waves with the family -- did those kitties chose to be mauled to death, bodies ripped apart, necks broken -- NO, NO , No. If you don't do something about this you are as responsible as her and you do not deserve to have animals either. If this happens to a child, you will also be as responsible. Put you out there and let the chow have at your foot or arm and see how you like it. Sorry am an animal advocate. Again, do something about it or get rid of all your animals.
please accept
Apparently I misread your post. The way it is worded, it would appear you worked nights except when your kids were gone for the summer.
I think they would probably accept because
if they think Michael's, probably would not question and therefore probably DNA would not come up. I think the results with the DNA would show not his but maybe since they have lived with him for so long and probably been around family functions, they probably would welcome. Even at my age and I am younger than his mom, I would not like to start all over with kids those ages.
did you accept it and are you friends?

So, accept second best in life
and do not complain about your lack of love, the abuse you accept for staying around for a 6 year old and live life as you have it. I am the product of a divorce and to tell you the truth, never ever bothered me. Did not miss having my father around 24/7, saw him often while growing up but lived with my mother and brother and had a wonderful time growing up. I find it amusing to hear someone say the happiness of their child is worth sacrificing their own happiness- remember this when she grows up and decides to leave and then you are left with? Any therapist will tell you in no certain terms you should be happy first, if you are not then your child is not but then, like I said, live your life like you want. I for 1 love my life and hubs, wonderful times, spoiled rotten and could not ask for more in life ever. I am a very blessed person.
Unless you are willing to testify, they won't accept it
Unless you are willing to testify, they won't accept it. They might to a threat "anonymous" but they will need you if they do a deposition or anything that far along. But if she has done any type of insurance billing on her other accidents, before an insurance company or their attorney makes an offer or decides to "collect" they will do a check on all insurance bills for this past person for the past 10 years to see what doctor she has seen, etc. She has to be forthcoming on any doctor seen in the past ten years and they will check that out. So unless they have paid cash and not billed their private insurance company for medical visits, she will be found out. I have a frient who works for me sometime and she works for an attorney and that is what they do first, is to run a financial medical history on that person to see where they have been treated, etc. They check all insurance data bases and if there is a bill that was paid on that person, they find it out. But again, unless you are willing to back up your charges, they cannot use it as when it goes to depositions or anything, they cannot use "hearsay evidence" and you will be needed to testify. Good luck in what you chose. Patti
I accept ALL opinions...sm
I just don't want you to think I am not there for him. I don't want to give that impression. I love him dearly. I just can't take the stress you know. Today he was MUCH better. He seemed pretty upbeat. Nothing against you for having a different opinion than others. I try to do all I can for him, but if he starts acting unreasonable, I just want to throw my hands up. I will be there for him, but I don't want to hear cussing and raving and negativity about my mom either. It is just a hard situation.
They think I will just accept the money and roll over, not!
I have some property for sale out of state, overlooking the lake, 6+ acreas. I said I wanted at least 145,000.00 for it and the people who want say they will GIVE me 110,000 and close in 30 days. Get this, I do not care if they want to close tomorrow.... Just irritates me that they think I HAVE to close like I will not be able to eat tomorrow unless I sell to them for what they want. Unbelievable. I can keep it for all that....
I absolutely would accept any and all prayers.

Ask the prospective employer if he will accept
a faxed copy until your mom can mail you yours. Most employers take up to 2 weeks to process paperwork and actually start an employee.
I used to do orientations where I worked about 10 years ago. There are other acceptable forms of ID, but you may not have those either. Can't hurt to ask about the faxed copy!
Today is my B-day! Going out to dinner with family. Still trying to accept I am 40. nm
!@
Sign me up, too! (Does the Heathen Board accept
If so, count me in.
You can change overnight. Dont accept them

I am SO sorry for your loss--sm
I have followed your posts about Misha since you started and had high hopes that all would be well with her. I am crying now, and feel her loss probably as much as you do. I love animals and have had many in the past, some that I too had to let go. It is not an easy thing to do and I feel so badly for you! Misha is comfortable and happy now, and at peace. You will see her again and she will see you. Sasha may grieve, as well, now. I wish you all the best in the future. Take care.
Good bye Misha. You touched so many hearts!

Sorry about your loss. when my dog
died last year, it was traumatic for me. Search Rainbow Bridge on the web. It is an inspiring story you may enjoy reading... susan
Sorry for your loss...
The recent news is just terrifying. I have 3 indoor cats and feed 6 outdoor cats the neighbors left when they moved. Luckily, I never fed my cats Iams on a consistent basis, but I have once in a while, as well as others.
Deeply, deeply sorry for your loss :(
I am very sorry for your loss...
I lost my brother to suicide almost 8 years ago. It shattered my whole world because we were so close. I have a big family, but my family to me was my mom and brother.
It was by far the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with, ever. I went through many stages too, and still to this day I sometimes think maybe it was just a dream, not real. I know it was real, but this other side of me thinks this from time to time. It is really hard to put in words.
It does get better though. With time, you start to heal and pick yourself up and move on. It is during this time though that you have to lean on whatever comforts you have, whether that is God, your friends, your family, etcetera.
All of my grandparents are gone now too. Unfortunately I was never close to any of them other than one grandpa who passed away first.
Good luck to you and hang in there...it will get better.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
The reason I was buying the ultra-premium dog foods with no gluten products was because I was trying to get Misha healthy, so her illness actually protected my other dog from an early death.
My loss-
I lost my first pregnancy at 16 weeks. At that time I was completely heartbroken. I was confused and mixed up as to why it happened. It has taken me a long time to remember the date of my miscarriage and date the baby would have been born without making myself completely depressed. I have now seen all the events in my life since then and I have come to realize, which was so hard for me to hear and accept at that time- is that things may happen for a reason and be for the better. It is the worst to hear, but it is what you need to find on your own. I am sure your blessings in life will find you, whether they are a wonderful and happy life with your husband, the joy of a pregnancy to fullterm with a child to love or anything else in life that brings a smile to your face and peace in your soul. My child would have been 10 year this August. I always take that week of my estimated due date and just give a moment to think about what could have been. It does take time and I hope you find some comfort in time. My thoughts are with you and your loss.
Am sorry for your loss.
and am on oxygen at night, nasal cannula, not CPAP, and I absolutely hate it. I wake up and it has come off, so it really is not doing me any good. I should probably ask to be switched to CPAP. Again, very sorry for your loss. P.S. Am going in for lap band surgery and so hope to get rid of the oxygen totally in the future.
So sorry for your loss.
I lost my sister several years ago to cancer so I can relate. It makes you realize just how fragile life really is. What a beautiful way to honor your sister, thanks for sharing the pic.
First of all, I am very sorry for your loss.
A friend of mine and former boss lost her husband very suddenly in a work accident when they were both in their early 30s - 5 years ago this week actually. I think she might have tried the online way for awhile, but I know she ended up going to a grief counselor in person eventually, which really helped her. She took her 2 small kids for a few sessions as well, if I remember correctly, and when she was about to remarry, her finance went as well.
I'm not one to take meds unless I absolutely have to, but have you considered seeing your doctor for some sort of antidepressant? You sound very depressed, which is understandable. And people that tell you it's time to snap out of it can take a flying leap as far as I am concerned. Everyone grieves differently and at different paces. One step forward and 2 steps back a lot of the time. Just when you think you have a handle on it, something goes haywire.
((((hugs))))
I'm so sorry for your loss...
I'm close to my mom also and I do dread that milestone. We lost her sister suddenly 6 years ago, who I was extremely close to ("second mom"), and it took a long time, a couple of years, for me to be able to even think of her without crying.
Beliefnet.com has some good reading resources on grief, I think. I think they have forums also, but am not sure. It's definitely worth exploring the site, though, since they often mention other resources outside of their site.
Good luck to you.
I am so very sorry for your loss - sm
May she live on in your heart with the good memories you shared together...
I'm so sorry for your loss. sm
She has gone to the Rainbow Bridge where I think you are right, she is sunning herself and happy.
This is one of the most heartwrenching things to go through but it sounds like Mochi was in a lot of pain and was ready to rest and that was truly the last, best gift you could give her in setting her free.
Fly free without pain, Mochi.
So very very sorry for your loss. nm

Sorry for your loss . . . perhaps you could
sprinkle them somewhere that the two of you enjoyed together or as a family, since neither of your children are interested in having them.
I'm sorry for your loss.
She's warm and comfy now. There will be 4 cats at my new job. Apparently some interact with the workers, whether they are expecting it or not. Should be interesting to be cat ambushed while concentrating on a new job, LOL.
For some happy news, I just scheduled a July vacation. My brother and his family are going.
Other family members could come also, but it's hard to get everybody to agree on a location. Some of the best-off family members are balking at the cost of the hotel instead of just saying "Wow, it's right on the beach and it has all these amenities and we are going to have a blast." Oh well, those that go will have fun and those that don't will wish they did.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
He was just adorable.
Sorry for your loss
and the grands that I reffered to who lost their gc to foster parents by the state was the state of Georgia, just outside of Atlanta. The child was taken from the hospital at age 2 weeks and adopted by the foster family at age 9 months, even though the grandparents (who already had the older 2 siblings in their care) were petitioning to adopt. This is a valid reason to keep kids with family.
So sorry for your loss. nm
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I lost my "first child" at 13 in 2000 and still miss him deeply. The pain does eas with time and the good memories stay, though it does take much time. God bless.
Very sorry for your loss
Thank you for sharing your story.
I am so sorry for your loss. She was a
beautiful girl. Hugs.
Very sorry for your loss..sm
You obviously gave your sweetie a good home and took wonderful care of her. Furkids do not have such long lives without constant love and attention. You had no way of knowing the exact time she was ready to go. You did your best to make her comfortable, and I believe she knew that and appreciated all you did.
When I lost my 17-year-old Whiskers in November, he was in an emergency clinic and I was not there. A scenario I never imagined. I was incosolable because, let's face it, 17 years (18 in your kitty's case) is such a long time to have someone in your life. There is a website that helped me through the grief--www.petloss.com. It may or may not be to your liking, but please at least check it out. You can write about your kitty and just get all the emotions out.
Please write again and let us know how you are doing. ((((hugs))))
