I've heard it said that "Life is not for the meek"
or something like that and it is true. There are always going to be difficult periods, and I'm sorry you have your fair share right now. You do seem able to find some calm though, t=which is good. My sis has had cats live to 20 and 21, and one of mine lived to 19...so perhaps the 17 year old kitty has a few more good years too!!

Really??? Either I'm SO sleep deprived that I don't get it...or I truly, don't understand - RE: Keeping the lines of communication open so we can keep in touch with those loved ones who've made their transition. Would love to discuss this in more detail with you...(especially after I've gotten a bit more sleep...should be finishing my temp job within the next few days...so let me know if this is something that's O.K. with you.).

Thanks...sometimes it's difficult to explain to folks if they don't have the experience of a close bond with an animal companion. It's not surprising that you've had close bonds with animals & that their spirits have kept in "touch" with you even after leaving the physical plane. A couple of my former animal companions have made themselves "known" upon occasion (or two).

Raven -
Keeping the lines of communication open allows us to continue our "keeping in touch" with loved ones who have passed.

I'm sitting here with a welling up of tears. We had a chocolate lab named Cocoa who contracted cancer two years ago. We lived day to day, and watched her slowly slip away from us.
One afternoon, I was washing my truck and she came over, insistent on loving me. I stopped and hugged her. I think she knew her time was short and she wanted me to know she loved me. I still cry when I think about that.
Before she died, I put her in the back of my truck and drove her all around. I knew it would probably be her last trip and she enjoyed it so. I felt guilty because of the babies and being drawn to other responsbilities; I wanted to taste one last time when it was just she and I.
I took her to be put to sleep. She rested her head on my lap. She knew I would help ease her suffering. I told Brandee that she would let us know, and she had. I cried so hard when she died, and the vet left me alone with her for a few moments.
For weeks after her death, our kids' toys would go off when I would be crying over her. I saw an orb in the kitchen the night of her passing into spirit.
I can still feel her presence here.
