I'm so sorry to hear about Willow's passing. I agree with you that it can be more difficult when it happens at home. Hugs.

A day without dance is .... just kidding. I have no idea!

Hugs Gams, it is so hard to lose a pet, because they often are our closest friends.
Everything you ever thought about life can change in a matter of seconds, just seconds.

In chat a couple of years ago, an argumentative person thought they were insulting me when they called me a Pollyanna~~ LOLOL

I'm an extremely positive and encouraging person, and refuse to buy into anyone's negativity.

My life has certainly had its 'downs' but whining doesn't solve anything. If Plan A stops working, there's always Plan B ..... and the rest of the alphabet.

Happy/Happy~~

IT IS SAD TO SAY, BUT THE LOSS OF MY PETS SADDENED ME MORE THAN THE LOSS OF MY PARENTS. THEIR ATTITUDE TOWARDS ME WAS VERY NEGATIVE WHILE MY DOGS LOVED ME NO QUESTIONS ASKED. IT IS NOW I AM OLD I CAN GET THE MOST OF OF LIFE. HOW MANY FOLKS ARE THERE OUT THERE JUST LIKE ME?

I am so sorry to hear about your loss, losing a beloved animal is as hard as losing a friend, or family member. Something I try not to think of is the sadness of losing one of my horses. He got spooked and ran into a downed tree shattering his right front leg. I sat on the ground with his head in my lap waiting for the vet to arrive. The leg couldn't be repaired, so he had to be put down. His name was Patches. Sad day, sad memory, I understand how you must feel.

Even if you are upset with someone, always end it with an I love you and a hug. You're correct, we never know when it will be the last time we see each other.

I notice you talk a lot about "negative" and "positive" emotions. I really don't understand this fixation of labelling emotions...categorizing feelings and placing them in one pile or the other. .....I don't understand that at all. I experience my emotions as a kaleidoscope....As a river of blending and merging emotions/feelings, sensations/thoughts...al dancing together to the music of life...I don't see the point of isolating emotions in order to label them and then judge if it is acceptable to feel them.......

You cannot grieve without also feeling love and wonder and gratitude...and grief is also assurance that you are capable of feeling deeply..

Well everyone has their own views. I think you are confusing the idea of not ever feeling negative emotions such as fear, anger or pain with fixating solely on those things which ultimately are destructive.

Gambi I completely understand the feeling of your loss. I had to make the decision to put my cat Libby "down" almost 3 years ago. She had be a part of my life for 20 years. Traveled all over the country with me and was a joy to have as a companion and was my only family. I still miss her. And though it was necessary, I still feel guilty for having to end her life. I wish she could of died peacefully in her sleep as a healthy cat but she was suffering neuroligically.

Take care my friend.
