Dear Ali,

I'm so sorry for your loss of Ben. I can truly empathize with you since just Monday I had to have my 15-1/2 year old Bichon Frise, Susan, put to sleep. The grief, emptyness, guilt, etc. are almost unbearable right now. When I get her ashes back, I've told my adult kids that when my time comes, I'd like her ashes put in with me.

The petloss/Rainbow Bridge website seems to be a place of understanding. Right now, being I live alone with advanced MS, my house seems as empty as the hole in my heart. I suppose time softens some of the grief and then we'll be left with more of the good memories of our faithful friends.

My heart truly goes out to you as we're traveling this horrible path together.

Hugs.........
