OH MY!! A distant cousin... one I barely know, but know that I am in awe of you and your heart, your creativity, your love, your willingness to share your vulnerability - somehow, I hope you can find Peace for Christmas... and for all the days ahead.....

Dearest Katia,your sweet angels Lily and Coca are together. There are no words.

I know the gut wrenching emptiness and grief you are experiencing losing your precious Lily. And right after Coca. The dual loss of them together i know is way more cruel than a comfort but the belief I have of them in each others arms is all i can invision. You are Lily’s human forever and ever. She is so grateful for your love and devotion to her and Coca. A beautiful human inside and out, you are. I am so very sorry for the loss of your most precious souls. Sending healing hugs . Love, Mary

Well said! I'm sad that you have been so alone during this monumental sadness. The two closest loves of your life are gone, at least physically. But believe me, they will always be with you in spirit.

Love you, Polly

Oh, that sweet little pup. She has brought you so much joy in the years you shared. When my mom died a fellow writer sent us a poem. The last line was, " I will tell her tales and my tears will laugh out loud."

Our option will be to make you get out of the house as soon as we can get there.

That was a lovely, poignant réflection on what you’ve gone through. I am overwhelmed by all the grief thrown at you and both saddened and proud of your reaction.

Love you and we’ll see you soon.

Oh Katia…I am in awe of the way you can string those words and sentences together in this time of such intense pain. My deepest condolences go out to you, for I know the bond you shared with Lily. My heart aches for the void that is now there in your heart and in your home. Sending you love and hugs and strength my friend. And I would love to take you out for coffee…🐾💔🐶😢😢😢😘
