Another Day Winding Down

I called my niece today. Poor thing is completely stressed out. She has problems at work bringing dark clouds over her head. She talked things out with me but, at the moment, there don't seem to be any good solutions. And her cat was diagnosed with the same cancer my cat had. Her vet gave her cat a few more months, so he's back home with her and her other two cats, but she was crying like crazy to me today over that. The loss of my cat hit her very hard and made her own situation a little too real for her to handle. So we both cried and tried to comfort one another the best we can. It's so hard. I fit into a pair of pants that have not fit for years, so that was a nice surprise. I had some butternut squash ravioli for dinner along with lots of other veggies. It was a small meal but filled me up since I haven't been very hungry lately. Combination of grief and my stomach beginning to shrink finally with all the healthier eating I've been doing. I'm shutting down soon to go and read before heading for bed. I hope all the Moms here enjoy a wonderful day tomorrow. Claudia

It's hard when you lost a pet since they are a part of our family. Your niece should make the most of her cat's time and also consider putting the cat out of it's misery if the pain becomes unbearable.

I agree and she's been through this before with another cat, so I know she will do the right thing. For now, her cat is very happy to be home with her, and I suggested she spend as much time as she can with him so that he will know how loved he is.

Doesn't it feel great to fit something that did not before? I am glad your niece has you to help her talk things out.

Today, I feel that I could just sleep all day. But my nephew is coming for a visit, so I'm having my second cup of coffee to wake myself up. And tomorrow I'm going to the pool to see if exercise helps my mind at all. I'm sure it will. And I will be here for my niece because I'm very sure she's going to lose her cat sooner than later and she's going to need comforting.

You and your poor niece. Getting that news is never easy. =( My brothers dog has cancer and it's tough for me because she's one of my dog's puppies. I took care of her in the beginning of her life so I am so sad about it too.

I'm sorry your niece is experiencing so many problems. And so sad about the cats. Fancy them both having the same kind of cancer.
