Hey Everyone,

I just want to say that I appreciate all of you putting up with me and listening to my ramblings. I am so up today, and I’m not so disconnected. At least I don’t think I am. I haven’t driven anywhere. I’ve been working on my writing for most of the day. I’m irritated and people are too noisy, but I guess I’m okay. Last night/ this morning (Thursday night/Friday morning), I heard scratching on the floor near my bed. If I left a shirt or something on the floor or if her blanket was around, she would scratch about to arrange it and nest in it and go to sleep. I heard that last night. The thing is, my dog died in December. I’d had twelve good years with her, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss her. Do you suppose that she came for a visit or is my addled brain playing tricks on me?

I don't discredit anything after my recent experience. While I have never been visited by the dead that I'm aware of, I feel anything is possible. I also feel that grief can be so deep as to cause us to hear what we may wish to hear or have breaks from reality from the despair. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. (((Hugs)))

I'm glad you are feeling better. You should post as often as you need...that's what we're here for....to support you. I'm sorry for your loss. I don't know how I'm going to cope when I lose my dog or cat. I've learned never to discount anything in this life. She could have visited to you to let you know she is doing ok. Best wishes....

I just wanted to express my appreciation. I received my dog as a puppy, and she was there when I had a big trigger that spiraled me out and led to my diagnosis. She was my therapy dog. An aggressive form of cancer took her from me six weeks after she was diagnosed. I feel so lost without her. I'm sorry. I feel sad and weepy right now. Maybe I should have stayed in bed today.
