| 119. that's a LOT of loss, GPV! And grief is rotten for *everyone*! |
|
I don't know of anyone who handles it easily. I guess some sublimate it or repress it better than others....... Ha, my little whiney mantra is "grief sucks, grief sucks" thanks for your compassion for Weenie--I didn't mean to derail your focus, just well....we've all been through grief. You say it well when you say we can't always *know* what to protect them from.   |
| -And now we come to the end of the story of Pickles, who went for a final time to the vet today. |
