Reply #12: My deepest condolences to you..

[virgdem]

on your painful loss. I know your pain. I too lost a beloved cat, Cleo, to cardiomyopathy 2 years ago. She almost made it to 12 years. I found her dead in her room, and that was one of the most awful experiences I have ever had. I had her cremated and she and another of my beloved cats sit side by side on the mantle of my fireplace. From personal experience, the first year is the hardest, although I still do cry from time to time. But, time does heal the heart, and it will get easier over time. I wish you a good holiday season, despite your loss.
