I feel really bad that I didn't know until yesterday - I'm afraid I've not been on twitter properly these past few days.Lindsay Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11513558547686982857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5415397004190195457.post-54990034059306107732012-12-17T03:04:42.046+00:002012-12-17T03:04:42.046+00:00Portia, dear,

Don't force yourself to pretend merriment if you're grieving. We are all sending you love and light.<br /><br />With sympathy,<br />LisabetLisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5415397004190195457.post-66933680093739039912012-12-16T21:01:55.177+00:002012-12-16T21:01:55.177+00:00HUGS PORTIA, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND I LOVE YOU!HUGS PORTIA, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND I LOVE YOU!hotcha12https://www.blogger.com/profile/15604525565464894250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5415397004190195457.post-44407716539000613552012-12-16T16:41:58.151+00:002012-12-16T16:41:58.151+00:00It's only during the course of this last year ...It's only during the course of this last year that I've been able to make a tribute wall to my lost lovelies, the first of whom were lost in 1991. The pain is huge. <br /><br />I wish you comfort.valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784717652044574470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5415397004190195457.post-23961355326879037072012-12-16T13:30:26.864+00:002012-12-16T13:30:26.864+00:00I am in exactly the same state of mind. Felix and ...I am in exactly the same state of mind. Felix and I are spending Christmas together. No turkey. No tree. We'll do what we feel like doing when the day arrives.<br /><br />I cry every night for Leo. He was a member of our household. He died unexpectedly and far before his time.<br />See my blog post, Portia, for my "Eulogy for a Cat."<br /><br />Is it awful for me to say that the depth of your suffering makes me feel less afraid? Because my heart is broken at the loss of my pet and I've never been through this before.<br /><br />I can't do Christmas. I'm not happy and I can't pretend to be for longer than, maybe, an hour. There would be no point in anyone coming to spend time with me.<br /><br />Also, on my post under my own name, I notice who among my so called real friends and family (!) have not expressed condolences and I feel that I never want to see them again. Because they don't care.<br /><br />Madeline Moore's friends, not one of which I've ever met, care more. I guess writers understand writers? We're a sensitive bunch.<br /><br />I cry every night.<br />My heart is broken.<br /><br />I'm so sorry for your loss. You are not alone.<br /><br />xoxo MadMadeline Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16485601071092171174noreply@blogger.com
