I am so sorry for your loss. I know how deeply it can hurt. I lost my beloved cat Diamond four years ago, and I still get a lump in my throat when I think of her, her beauty, warmth and love. I've had lots of cats, but she was my favorite. A few years ago I went through a 3-year-long serious depression. I spent most of my time lying on the couch, almost comatose. Every evening, without fail, when she came in from outdoors, she ran right over to me and climbed on my chest, laid down over my heart and put her face on my neck. She stayed that way for most of the evening. And every time I cried, which was often during that period, she came running into my room to comfort me, with a very concerned look on her face. I miss her so much. As far as getting support with your loss, forget the shallow "it's only a cat" crowd. On the Internet are special pet sites where you can grieve as much as you need to and get lots of support from fellow pet lovers. Try "petloss.com" message board.
