Stressed,
I am so sorry to hear what you have been going through !
My dog (that we got after the RSD monster struck) has been such a God-send to me with this condition. Whether I'm having a good day or bad day, she just wants to be by my side. I can't imagine your grief over losing 6 beloved dogs and your children's other pets.
You have so much to grieve right now.....the pets, the loss of your home 9and all the belongings with a lifetime of memories) on top of dealing with the challenges of RSD and the threat of serious financial problems.
I pray that you can stay strong through all of this and that God will send some form of relief to help you and your family.
