Today feels like the last straw

Shali, while you will never be able to forget what happened, I see in you a strength to cope and still help others in what you do. Hope you feel better soon.

How kind, your beautiful words bring tears to my eyes. I will never submit, so the only way left is forward. One inch at a time. My brokenness remains a gift which I give my clients as surety they too can survive and ultimately

flourish, in spite of the scars which riddle our psyche. I learned endurance, compassion, trust, hope, and acceptance at the bottom of a pit, so can they. This is what love is.

Shalimar,, can only offer you a shoulder to lean on,, as I have no idea of your life history.

As I've suggested before, write , throw away what you wrote,,as in tossing away the demons.

Life can be baby steps at a time.

Shali is a therapist. As she said she doesn't need advice. She needs quiet support which will allow her to create her own way. We can do that by offering our unconditional love and support.
 
Thanks for asking Silver. The worst of the shock around my vet’s death is abating a bit, although the recent loss of my beloved nineteen year old cat has spun me into a pit of grief. I have had cats since I was eight, now the isolation feels crippling. Due to pandemic, almost impossible to find a cat anywhere. So, I must dig deep and try to cope as well as I am able.

(((Hugs))) @Shalimar 😊
 
O, Shalimar,, so sorry to read about your cat.
We had our dog die in October which left a huge hole in our lives

In our search for another Boston Terrier ,,noticed shelters had big dogs & lots of cats.
Also seeing cats & kittens on Craigslist.

Are you looking for a certain kind of cat, color, young or older?
 
Shalimar, I am sending prayers from Oregon for all that you have been through for the past month. May the Good Lord bless you with peace and understanding when the trials of this life come. Finding joy in the storms can be hard but it can be done when we concentrate on the blessings we do have. His mercy is new every day. 🙏 ❤️
 
Shalimar, this is one of my favorite quotes. As you know I spent many years healing from the abuse in my past. For a long time I was shamed by emotional scars because they manifested as triggers, PTSD and the like. I tried to deny I had them, even though my emotional wounds were no longer oozing. It finally dawned on me that my scars are clear evidence that I HAVE PREVAILED, THAT I AM A WARRIOR, just as you are, my friend. 💕

Thank you so much. Here on Vancouver Island, Canada, the shelters are virtually empty. I have seen this holds true
of the lower mainland also. Not that I would take a ferry anyway during Covid times. People have turned to pets to deal with staying at home through this plague. I am not picky about size, age, colour or breed of cat. I love them all. 🥰
