Tina - Grief is a two sided curtain. Your loss is fresh, and nothing anyone can say or do will help at this point.
The pain is unbearable - yet, you somehow bear it.
This side of the curtain is dark and black.
But with time you pass through the curtain,
and the other side is bright and colorful,
because the memories no longer bring you pain - they make you smile.
You again know how blessed you were that the big old rabbit came intoyour life, and what joy he brought to you, and to all of us you haveshared him with.
Please keep all your pictures - you will regret later if you destroy them.
And do keep taking pictures - they help to keep memories alive.
I remembered you very specially at Mass this morning - you are very much on my mind.
I could tell by your writing that you are a very passionate woman -passionate with your beloved family - two legged, fourlegged, furry andfeathered.
So I can only imagine how this loss is tearing you apart.
But the grief is normal, and will pass - the curtain will open.
You just have to give yourself time to get through it.
May God bless you and keep you.
May He shne His face upon you,
And grant you His peace.
