> Wow. That sounds like an amazing and uplifting experience. What a terrific way for a family event to go!
Yeah, it was pretty great. Still feeling awe about it.

> I'm really sorry about your uncle. But I think if someone asked me what way I'd like to die, that might be my second choice. (I still vote for curled up at my master's foot so peacefully that she didn't even notice I'd gone.) He was loved in life, and knew it. And he'd just spent quality time with the family.Thanks, I agree. Hmm, interesting about the curled up thing. I suspect that with some of your pets, they also felt loved and safe to go with you at their side. I suspect that would be a lovely way to go, in the arms of someone you love, but I'm not sure if I would want to be the survivor...that sounds very hard. But I don't do death well. I said that to my T once, and he sort of laughed and asked why I would *want* to do that well.

> I'm glad you're getting along well with once a week therapy. :) When the time is right, I'm sure it's a far more positive step.I think maybe the time was right, although it was still hard, and it was due to circumstances versus a clinical decision. But so far so good....
Thanks,
