Thank you, all. My partner is out of the country right now visiting family, but I sent him a link to this thread after I broke the news, and your sympathy was deeply appreciated.
Despite the eight birds and three other cats, the house seems very quiet without Storm.
Hey Lindsay, I am sorry for your loss. Does it help if I say I believe that death is just an illusion? Your little storm still exists, just no longer in the body you were used to (my sister's pet rat just died of a virus that is airborne and it came on suddenly, and she is really upset). My elderly pet rat, House, is losing his hair and acts senile and is on his last legs. Death isn't really an end though, I really believe that and quantum mechanics seems to back that up, too. Your little Storm is still around- energy can't be created or destroyed and I believe that consciousness is an energy with a certain signature (meaning that it retains a unique energetic imprint). Sorry, rambling. I hope you feel better soon. But I know that grief can feel almost like an asthma attack and be so hard. Hugs from me and my birds and my cat!
