The last couple of days have been crummy. I attended a "Pet Loss Support Group" at an animal shelter - wrong thing to do! It only made it worse have to reccount what had happened and listen to others talk about their sad stories and putting their animals to sleep. The counselor was excellent but I cannot see myself returning for another go-round. The counselor said I was still on autopilot and that she wanted me to do a "flailing cry every day" to get it out of my system. I have to admit I do cry almost every day, but maybe not the "flailing" kind. Anyway, my system is to try and put one foot in front the other...and to try and appreciate all I that I have and to remember that life goes on.

This past weekend wasn't bad. I am experiencing some high blood pressure and asthma problems - due to stress I suppose. With dad at the nursing home and us not knowing when he's going to pass away, it's very hard. I think I've moved into a new "phase" of grieving for Sam. It seems more intense than the other weeks, probably because I'm coming out of shock. Today Scott and I are going to visit a pet communicator - I feel silly about it but others have told me she is very accurate and may offer some measure of comfort. It's worth a try. Sunday we went to Georgetown and did alot of walking around, had lunch, saw a movie. Very nice day.
