My heart is broken and I can't stop crying, but I am also remembering how very lucky that she and I found each other and that I had her in my life for 7 years.
A quote that I love that gives me comfort in times of loss of my 4-legged children:
"We who choose to surround ourselves
with lives even more temporary than our
own, live within a fragile circle;
easily and often breached.
Unable to accept its awful gaps,
we would still live no other way.
We cherish memory as the only
certain immortality, never fully
understanding the necessary plan."

Lolly,
I am very,very sorry that you lost Lily yesterday. I understand how much it hurts to lose a four legged member of the family. When we lost a 22 year old cat 10 years ago I mourned for many weeks and I still miss him today.
If you need to "talk" send me an email.
big hugs,
Ali
Thanks so much, Ali. I knew with all of her issues it was inevitable and thought I was "prepared" but you never really are ready, are you?
Oh Lolly, I am so sorry you lost your little treasure..I know it is heartbreaking. They teach us unconditional love. And the pain of loss that some how makes it easier to loose our human family when that time comes. Imagine if we held all the grief inside and lost a family member...we would explode. Love and Hugs, Diane
