My thoughts are with you as you push through this tough time of year once again. Also, healing comes in the oddest ways... My husband assisted our other ferrets at Christmas in "placing an order online" over at Qoop.com---they picked out my favorite picture of Max and had it made up on a stretcher canvas. It came out so amazing. Just seeing his little face smiling at me every day now has helped take some of that bitter edge off the pain. I wish for you peace.

Last year I got physically sick before I realized it was grief. I'm still surprised that grieving can make you literally ache. I wanted to plan something to help make it easier (read: distract me). Life may not let me, so I'm trying to stay well rested, eating right and taking my vitamins. Planning a full frontal attack on grief, --Me March is a hard one for me too.
