Talk to Izzie and explain to her that Lucy has left this world but is still
very close to her. She knows this but her heart is breaking and she isn't
really thinking. Like you, she wants Lucy's body close to her and she doesn't
have it and she feels very lost. Keep talking to her and explaining this. If
you have things of Lucy's--a bed, blanket, etc--let Izzie have them.
Also try various flower essences: Rescue Remedy and Red Chestnut come to mind
but do a Google search for Bach Remedies or maybe someone else on the list has
a better knowledge of them than I do. Feliway may calm her. I use it for
anything stressful for Dixie and for the Royal Princess Kitty Katt when she was
in this world.
Bless you all. Know that Lucy loves you and Izzie.
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of compassion
and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with their
fellow man.

Subject: Please add Lucy to the CLS
I haven't been on the list for several months but I wanted to let you know
that I lost Lucy on Tuesday morning. It was quick and she didn't seem to
suffer. She was cuddled up in my arms and we were sitting on the sofa. She was
only sick for a few days and the no one thought she was close to death.
Lucy was a sweetheart, she loved to be held and to curl up in my lap. She
loved her sister Izzie and they played and slept together. She was just a
little over a year old.
Izzie originally tested negative, then positive, and then negative. So I'm
going to wait a month and have Izzie retested. Please pray for us that she
stays negative. I honestly don't know how I could go through this again.
Izzie has been seeking a lot of affection and sometimes wanders around
meowing and looking. If anyone has any advice how to make this easier for her I
would really appreciate it.
Thank you for all of your support and wisdom,
Maggie
