4 months, one week, two days

[mockngbirdgirl]

And I'm still trying to stop mourning.Camilla died on February 20th and since then not a week goes by that I don't cry at least once (usually more than that) because I miss her so damn much. And the kids mention missing her at least as frequently, if not more so

I can totally understand missing a member of the family so very much, and the fact that she had 4 legs instead of 2 makes no difference to how much you loved her..

Thank you so much for understanding...

Oh sweetie. I'm so sorry. I lost my Bella two years ago and still miss her so much. Even though I have two cats I don't have my cat and it's something I wonder if anyone could understand.

Remembering with joy instead of sadness is a huge step. And it's never a direct one either. I'm thinking of you.

I still have Drac, who is wonderful and amazing...but he's just not my billa-girl...something i know you know...

Thank you for your thoughts darling...

I feel for you, Emily. She was loved, no wonder you all still miss her. It happened *only* 4 months ago and you knew her many, many years - it always takes time to overcome from the loss.

*hugs*

My mother and I still talk about our budgie, Shelby, who died 6 years ago. We still talk about how much we miss him and how we miss how we would open the door to his cage and run across the room because he loved to fly to us and land on our shoulders. We miss how we would rub his little head against our noses and kiss our lips and give us the closest thing to budgie hugs a birdie can give!

He was a remarkable little creature who communicated more effectively and with more of his heart than most "higher" beings I've encountered. He was like my baby and my best friend and I've thought often, during hard times in the last few years, that I wished I had him there with me, sitting (and pooping, heh) on my shoulder to tell me how much he loved me.

There is nothing silly about missing him this much, or about you missing Camilla. Animals teach us what unconditional love means. There is nothing silly about mourning that loss as deeply and completely as you need to.
