RE: CRF & UTI

[Hideyo Yamamoto]

Dear Michelle,   I am so sorry that you are not feeling well - I can feel your pain form loss of Ginger, and it makes me very sad that everyone in your family is feeling sad from the absence of Ginger – precious little lives of our babies fill our life so much with joy and it’s very hard to live without their existence. and I don’t feel that I can adjust to that, but I know that eventually, I learn to live with the pain of loss and  a little by little, it becomes easier to deal with and live with the pain… the pain never goes away in my case… but I am able to cope with the pain better a little by a little every day.  I call Garfunkle’s name every time I go into where he was every single day, and I burst into tears… but I can also feel his existence for some reason, and I can see his sweet adorable face ---   Michelle, please don’t feel too lonely, I know you can’t see her, but I know that Ginger’s still right besides you, watching you over as a guardian angel, just like you did for her..   Love and hugs,   Hideyo   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nina Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2006 3:33 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: CRF & UTI   Michelle, I was wondering why you hadn't been posting as often.  I'm sorry to hear you are suffering.  I sure hope you feel better soon.  It's so sad about Ginger and how everyone feels her absence so much.  It was like that at our house, until little Pete entered the picture.  It took her a while, but she drew everyone out and finally got Timmy playing again.  I didn't go looking for her, (I swear, I never go looking!), but her presence has made such a difference in all our lives.  I'm always expressing my gratitude for my joyous little (healthy) girl.  Isn't it interesting the way those still with us will pick up on behaviors/characteristics of those that have passed.  It's like they're trying to make up for the loss somehow.  I find it very endearing. Much love to you my dear, please feel better soon, Nina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Not great.  Having my own health problems. We are all missing Ginger, too, and I am thinking some of the problems I am having started when she died and could be stress-related.  I have polycystic ovaries syndrome, which messes up my hormones and makes my cycle very irregular. I thought I was about to get my period when Ginger died, but then just stayed like that for the past month, with the worst pms the whole time, physically and mentally. So I finally went and got progesterone pills to try to get through this. I am thinking Ginger's death just made my body go haywire. Can't know for sure, though. The cats, and my sheep Lamby, sure miss her though. She was the most popular girl in the house, and the yard.  Lucy never acted friendly to her, but was fascinated with her energy, and now Lucy is so super-needy all the time, as if Ginger had been her best friend in the world. She has taken on a lot of Ginger's quirky behaviors, too, which is very odd.    Thanks for asking, Michelle   In a message dated 3/30/2006 4:57:43 P.M.
