Re: Trouble coming to terms with my loss


Picked Ollie's ashes up yesterday and had a little 'man cry' (a few seconfds of teeth clenched together, stinging eyes and staggered breathing through your nose!) when I got home.

Put the ashes with my partners old cat sophie who passed away 5 years ago and has been sitting alone all this time.

We'll scatter Ollie's and Sophies ashes together when the weather improves again.

On a brighter note we've just taken delivery of a large (A2 size) canvas print of my favourite picture of Ollie which I bought form www.thedigitalroom.co.uk. Once I hang it on the wall tonight I'll post a picture for you too see.

It's understandable for you to have felt a bit choked yesterday Chris....... but you now have Ollie back home with you where he belongs...

Looking forward to seeing the canvas print you have of Ollie...

Re: Trouble coming to terms with my loss


I've only just caught up with this thread and I'm so sorry to hear of you loss Chris; Ollie sounded like a wonderful cat. But as Mags says, he's now back with you where he belongs and will be playing with Sophie at the bridge Also, the canvas picture of him is a wonderful idea! Really looking forward to seeing it -

Ah Chris! So glad you've bought Ollie home and that he won't be alone. Look forward to seeing your print. I've used thedigitalroom before and was very pleased with the results.

That's a really lovely picture Chris. Lovely happy Ollie, blossom and blue sky - a wonderful way to remember him.

That's a lovely, happy portrait of a much loved boy; may it bring you some comfort seeing him there so relaxed and handsome.....
