Thank you everyone. It's been just over a week. I pick up her ashes tonight. My last crying jag was two nights ago but I'm hoping it gets better from her on out. I'm considering visiting the Humane Society next week to look at kittens.

I have planned a long weekend away with my boyfriend -who I don't get to spend much time with. He is my refuge right now so that will be nice. I appreciate your thoughts and comments.
