Dear hamsterjill,

I am so deeply sorry for you loss, truly!

I do not get to log on as much as I wish I could but your post stopped me in my tracks. Your painful words expresses exactly the way I feel since My Tommy's death on Jan 1st this year. I repeat your exact words in my head every day! Every day!

I wish I could just sit with you and Elijah through this sacred moment and be there for you both. How I hate what you are about to experience, the pain, the questions, the loss! Elijah is not just a pet or a cat. Elijah is your love and family just like My Tommy is my love, my husband, and only family I've ever had. I sincerely mean it when I say my heart breaks for you. Please know I will continue to think of you and Elijah for the rest of the day. Tonight I will include you and Elijah when I get on my knees, by my bed, and say my prayer. I can't type anymore, I'm too emotional and the tears are coming. Just know I care!

Rest in peace and love, Elijah.
Reis
