> Even though the little princess spent most of her time sleeping, the house seems a bit emptier without her in it. It reminds me of how a house with people in it, even if they are not in the same room or sleeping or being still as can be, feels different from an empty house.

> I wonder if there's some sort of life energy that you can feel even if you can't see or hear it.Hi Dinah:
Well, when you lose something you dearly love, I tend to believe that the "life force" is a mark that remains tattooed on your soul. When I went through my couple of horrific losses, I remember there was this song with the line "Peace and quiet...are over rated words." The "silence" really f'ed me up. I would go down to the cemetery, and sit there and talk, and cry, for hours. I guess I somehow felt 'closer'. But, I've learned that I can still find and feel my loved ones in many places, in nature, in music..etc. Loss of others I love is now a MAJOR trigger for me. Just the thought can send me reeling. So, sorry if I didn't really answer your question, but just some thoughts on it.
Jay
