    Give Felish a hug



    • Hug

      From wingless October 24

      I hope there is hope because I am getting to a point where I just wonder how much more I can endure. The coping mechanisms I learned in childhood to survive aren't helping in processing the emotions and I can't escape them yet I don't know how to deal with them. Especially the sadness and emptiness that I feel...I don't know anymore

    • Hug

      From Tymlee July 21

      I feel your pain so intimately. I went through a fire 2 years ago. None of our animals died but I know the shock, trauma of it. 5 days ago, though a monster deliberately ran over my beautiful cat, Petrie. She wasn't quite 2 years old. I witnessed the entire thing. I was horrendous and I can't stop crying. I feel so much rage, despair and loss. Anyway, sorry to burden you,I just wanted to share. Be well.
