Honoring Death


My 18 year old Beloved cat companion, Liza, was euthanized on Wednesday. I kept her on ice on the bed next to my pillow for two nights. Her illness and subsequent passing all happened so quickly that I needed that time to be with her body and adjust to  her absence. Though Liza was no longer there it helped so, so much to run my hand down her fluffy black tail or hold her oh so familiar paws in my hand. The missing is piercing...AND I am extremely grateful for all the years we shared. A true blessing.
