Otoharo!
I had sudden loss today that really shook me up! About four months ago I got a free kitten and have loved him for every cute, defiant, challenge he has thrown at me. A male cat does not meow and beg, he orders! He is mostly a house cat, but wants out off and on during the day, not staying out long. this afternoon my neighbor knocked and asked me to come out, he had something to show me, grabbing one of my shovels. we went down my driveway and there near my mailbox was my smokey lying where he had been knocked by a passing car.
I know all of you can relate to this. My life has been so thouroughly blessed, that this is the only loss I have had for so many long years. As a teenager, I mothered mother's last baby as she was ill for several years. I went away to college, and one day my aunt came in to see me to tell me that my little sister was dead.
The suddenness is hard, the jolt! Grief sort of smooths out the surface little by little.
