im so srtry how ys feeling hun i hope you feel better soon huggs and prayer were here for you hunn ang

I hit flat spot, recently, and had to go back to Sondra Ray's, "The Only Diet There Is." You probably don't have diet trouble like I do, but it doesn't matter--it's a spiritual "diet" book about slimming down on sadness and anger and the things we do to ourselves that hurt us even more, in the long run...the results are that people lose weight/anger/stress and feel better, psychically as well as physically...I know it's not a cure-all, but it had worked really well for me, twice before when things were out of control in my life. Back when I was seeing my psychiatrist, she encouraged me to take the book up, again, and keep reading until I could see some light at the end of the tunnel...I did notice a significant difference.


I had neglected this book for a long while...too many major/minor family emergencies, these last 2 years, and I'm sorry that I lost faith in myself for not returning to it, 'cause it's re-healing me, slowly but surely...and as I can't afford a psychiatrist at the moment, any stopgap is better than nothing!


There are a lot of used copies, out there, on the net, so you could prob. get one for less than $9.00 (not including S&H); or, you could try at your local library...I got mine at a Brentano's, before it closed, and I'm glad to have it, now...hon, if it helps, give it a try! Anything's better than feeling beaten down, like you are, now...esp. when you haven't been well & have been trying so hard!


Take care & God Bless...let us know how things go...

I'm terribly sorry about your aunt and your cat. There is a happiness dance but you first you must allow yourself to grieve and realize that both are in a better place and are no longer suffering.

A loss is never easy but know that you did what you could for those who have passed.

Take a moment and think about what makes you happiest and then do that. Even thinking of something you thought was funny is helpful as laughter releases endorphins and is an emotional healer.

im so sorry hun how are you doing and the cat?? ang biug huggs to you

I know that feeling...

So far in my life, I've only had 1 pet--my old kitty, George--cremated & I still "keep" his remains close by...I would never have considered doing such a thing to any other pet I've owned, but due to the nature of how he passed, I can't seem to make myself let him go...'cause otherwise, there isn't a reason in the world why I couldn't "rest" his remains, right here, in my folks' back yard (sadly, that's been used as a kitty cemetary 2X's, already, from past stray cats that became too sickly for my folks to save).

But, I still have that feeling that b/c George came to me in Seattle looking for a home, I'd feel that I'd "abandoned" him, if he didn't wind up "resting" in the same place, as myself. When I moved back home, George came with me.

And there George stays in his little box, w/his collar & tags on top, alongside a dried rose and an angel bear...

I guess that's the nature of love...

Someday, of course-and prob. here on my folks' property--I should "release" George into our back garden, close to the catnip that goes to seed every summer...but for now, I just want to keep him close by...

Hon, I am so very, very sorry for you!

Those times never get easy for anybody, do they?

You gave her a good home and lots of love, though...that's the most important thing. Think what would've happened if you hadn't been there for her.

I will be thinking of you! I hope that time heals the hurt.

I'm so sorry, it's so hard when a loved one passes on.
