There just wasn't enough time, unfortunately. We never got to show her that we were nice people who wouldn't hurt her like all the other people have done. And, that her short life was full of pain and fear -- and we couldn't prevent that for her.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for all of the hugs and warm wishes. Halloweenlover really helped cheer Offspring up by sending her a picture of Murray and Tango dressed up for Halloween! :)KLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00432371404842970536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14917571.post-1125065121637618682005-08-26T10:05:00.000-04:002005-08-26T10:05:00.000-04:00Although I'm more of a dog person than a cat perso...Although I'm more of a dog person than a cat person, I'm all too familiar with the pain that surrounds the loss of a much-loved pet.

She's been in tears, intermittently, throughout the night.<BR/><BR/>We've tried talking about it, but it just seems to upset her more. <BR/><BR/>I told her that I think that Bushy is in heaven, and for her to imagine her as an angel, with fluffy white wings. I also told Offspring to tell bushy all those things that she would have liked to have said to her, and how she feels about her dying. I hope this gives her some peace of mind.<BR/><BR/>Death is a part of life. I can explain death to my child. She understands death. She's just having a hard time with grief right now. I'm not sure that she thinks it's okay to grieve over a cat. I told her that loss is loss, no matter how you slice it.KLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00432371404842970536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14917571.post-1124932223292656352005-08-24T21:10:00.000-04:002005-08-24T21:10:00.000-04:00Hugs to you all.
