I was tooling around the quizzes and since my husband died a little over a year and a half ago, I took it. I got a 9.

So I took it again for my darling Bear, my soul cat that I lost 8 and a half years ago. I had her for fourteen years and will never get over it-and I got a 52.

Is this wrong? I'm trying to drum up some guilt abouot it but it just won't come.

I don't think there is any need for guilt. I think you may have just processed the grief differently and therefore causes different results on the tests.

I think sometimes pets touch our souls and people touch our hearts. A slight difference that means a lot.

Thanks Gayle-

You hit it right on the head. And it would help if I said what quiz! The grief quiz. But then Bear loved me and my husband didn't.

I had this same issue kind of. My mom died a year ago March and my cat I had of 14 years died in August. She was 22 when she died. I felt like I grieved more for my cat and felt guilty about that. It wasn't true. It was just different like somebody said above. My cat spent all day every day with me. She was always there, accepting me, loving me unconditionally ect. Meanwhile my mom while I love her and miss her so much was in another town. I didn't see her all the time. She wasn't with me all the time. Sometimes we fought and had arguments. So you see the relationship you had between your husband and your cat were different. I am sure you loved your husband just as much. No reason to make yourself feel guilty.
