I think about you and Mackerel every day. I can't think about you and your dear little Bridge Angel without weeping, so I've been doing a lot of that.

Mackerel You are so loved sweet girl.

I have been away for a couple of weeks, but I came back tonight and did a search to check on Mackerel. I am so very sorry that you lost her. She sure put up a good fight. RIP sweet girl!

It's a month today since I lost Mackerel. I still miss her so much. I keep being reminded about her in the most random ways. -sigh- I burst into tears on the bus earlier this week when it went by My Best Friend Vet Center in Leederville, where I first took her to be checked out. I'm just... having trouble remembering the good things, and not her final days or how she died. I miss her. I miss her so much.

It is, so hard. Only a month...barely enough time to process your loss, in my opinion. Love and hugs from me and mine.

I'm so sorry, sweetie. Maybe it's time to look back through some pictures, to help revive some of the happy memories (though that will hurt plenty too!).

Tons of big , Jalindal.
After only a month, it'll usually be the littlest things that bring it all back. I still cry for my Cotton.

I'll second Laurie's suggestion to go through pictures. I put together a photo scrapbook of Cotton's life with us in the 2 months after his passing and while I cried a lot, it really did help and I smiled a lot too.

When my mom died, the whole family had trouble remembering anything but her last days.

Then, it was so strange, everything switched. After a bit, we hardly remembered her last days and now have great memories of her in good health.

For a while it gets harder and you are in the middle of that. But, just hang in there. It will never go away, but it will sting a bit less.

Thinking of you and Mack. I hope you start feeling better soon.

Aw, sweetie. I'm so sorry you're still hurting. It's only been a month: your pain is still very fresh. I still grieve over Maverick, and it's been over a year since I lost him. I don't cry every day now, but I still miss him horribly. It's just not the same without him.

I wish I could offer words of comfort. All I can do is give you and hope that your pain ease soon.

It takes time, sometimes quite a long time, for deep grief to ease up. But it does. It has to because we have to keep on living, and we can't live on and on with all that pain.

I've been where you are. You think your misery will never end, and you feel guilty at the thought that eventually you may feel better.

But time will heal the intense sad feelings. I still feel sad over the loss of my Sherman - almost a year later. And I have other cats who have helped me with my grief.

It's a long time to feel so bad, but it really isn't so long. I haven't gotten over Mackerel's passing myself.

Before too much longer, the memories of the happy times will become much clearer.
