Why Lie, I'm Struggling...

Been looking on the net the last couple of days in trying to deal with everything. Found this via Catster:

Pet Cat Bereavment
For many of us the loss of a cat is comparable to the loss of a family member, partner, or best friend. Here are some steps that may guide and support you through the grieving process:

• Allow yourself to grieve. Take time to process your feelings. Remember that other pets and family members are grieving also and may need more attention during this transitional phase.
(working on this one)
• Surround yourself with people who empathize with your loss rather than trivialize it. If you don't have friends and family members that understand your grief, do not be afraid to seek help. There are many options ranging from bereavement counseling to pet loss hotlines and online support groups.
(done)
• Honor your cat's memory by creating a memorial, writing a letter or poem to your cat or donating your time or money to an animal welfare organization on behalf of your cat.
(done and done and done)
• Focus on positive memories with your beloved cat and try to put aside those that are more painful.
(this is a work in progress-all memories seem rather painful to recall now)
• Take care of yourself. Exercise, eat right and stick to your normal routine as best you can. The sooner your life returns to normal, the better you'll feel.
(I know, I know...this is probably the area I need the most work)
• Consider adopting a new cat, not to replace the one you lost, but to share the future with.
(how odd that the last one on the list seems the most likely to help)
