Here I am again, coming to my Cutie friends to help me through another difficult time.Thank you all so much!
I have had a terrible time with grief this year. First came the 1 year anniversary of my dear Dad on the 16th, Ben's birthday on the 20th, and Mom's one year anniversary on the 22nd. We lost a close friend this year. And, I know it's not that much to some people, but our precious kitty (the one in my photo) who helped us so much through losing Ben also passed away last month of kidney disease. I have had really bad health all year and just finished back surgery 8 weeks ago and I'm still not able to drive. I still need prayers, and thank everyone who has helped me through this with your sweet comments.

11271Dear Jan, I think of you often and want you to know I continue to pray for you. I read the messages to you, such love and support from the best family ever "Cuties". Love and support to you, Suzanna
18140Oh Jan.....life gets so overwhelming at times and you are in that spot right now......so sorry to hear you lost your fur baby, that alone is tough and then to have the memories of loved ones can certainly be depressing. I hope your back surgery gets you up and running again and will send prayers to get you through this difficult time....much love!

148911I know how you feel about loosing your kitty, the loss of our dear kitty pets is very like the loss of losing a member of the family. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Hugs from Maureen
11566Dear Jan, wow, you certainly have had a rough time of it. I pray that your back surgery has been beneficial and that you will soon be up and able to drive. Once you are more active you will be able to do things outside of the house.
Just think of all the great memories that you have of your dear parents and of course Ben. Our fur babies are part of our family too so I hope the pain of losing it will ease with time. Much love and prayers being sent your way. Love Chris
234497You just stop for a moment and close your eyes. Can you feel the dozens of arms wrapped around you and the support of the dozens of prayers going up for you? It certainly has been a tough year filled and overflowing with grief and loss. But you are not alone nor has your loved ones been forgotten. Your grief is a testimony of your love. The loss of a pet is just as traumatic as losing a human loved one. I can certainly understand your grief. I still miss my pets after decades. So remember you are not alone. Please reach out to us any time you need a shoulder and a hug. One of the delights of belonging to the Cute family is that we are a 24 hour family. There is always someone there.

169064Jan just want to say I'm thinking positive thoughts for you dear and thanks for all the lovely postings you gave us about Ben. I am not at all surprised that your finding life very tough at the moment. Cyber hug coming your way
115756So sad to hear all that you have endured this past year...I hope that things will look up for you this year...try to stay in touch and do things with your friends and family to keep your mind in a happy place...Hope you will soon recover enough to be able to drive soon and get out there and do something fun....
318455I totally understand. On the 7th anniversary of my husbands passing I sat down and bawled my eyes out. Came out of no where. I do not claim to understand what it must be like to loose a child. I can not even imagine that. Sadly as we get older loosing friends becomes a more frequent event. My shepherd buddy is 13 years old and I try to prepare myself.
Jan I pray that you find something that gives you joy and that your health issues, which are adding to feeling down, will get better. You know that we are always here for you. HUGS

109774I know sometimes it feels as though , well like nothing else feels, some friend may understand others think you ought to just suck it up and keep going like , hey it's over get in the groove again. Well unless they have been through it or walked in your shoes they just don't understand how you feel. I think God let's us go through trials so we can help those who don't ever seem to be able to cope with life after losing those we love and that includes fur babies. One thing I do if I catch myself grieving is either call and talk to someone or just get in the car and go to a shop, or somewhere I can sit and watch other people.. I read, sew, crochet. quilt anything to get my mind busy about something else. I am 80 and health not that great but just a walk around the house if the sun is shining does a lot for me. Then there is what you have done, ask Cuties for prayers.

Thank you, sometimes it is hard to pray for yourself. Did you also read the other post about my son?
