Profile Information

About Me:
I am 24 years old from Stirling, Ontario, Canada. I am an extreme introvert, bookworm, scientist and activist. I think highly outside of the box. Animals hold a special place inside my heart. I have a 1 year old son, and have found my soul mate. I graduated university in 2012 and hold a BSc in Marine Biology. Although I live in one of the most beautiful places in the world, I want to go home, back to Ontario and be near my roots.
About my Loss:
In my second year of university in 2008, I lost my grandmother, Gail. Since then, I have watched my grandfather deteriorate into an extreme depression. He became so depressed that when he was diagnosed with prostrate cancer, he denied treatment. My father was diagnosed with liver cancer when I was 22. 3 weeks after my family moved to the other side of Canada, I got a call saying I needed to fly back home immediately. I spent 3 days in the hospital with my father, at the foot of his bed, witnessing the brutal process of his life ending. On the third day he was gone. This broke my entire family, and no one has been the same since. It has been only 7 months since his death, and yesterday my beloved cat Odis was struck, and killed, by a car on our road. I let him outside because it made him happy, rather than keeping him locked up in our small apartment with our 1 year old constantly bothering him. But my irresponsibility got him killed. He was 6 years old, and my best friend. He was there every second of my grief over the years, and I feel like a part of me has died with him. Last year I developed severe panic disorder, with borderline agoraphobia. I am only 24 years old, and I feel as though my entire life has been taken from me.

I'm so sorry about your losses, Brittany. I can relate to what you say about your cat being your friend and companion. My kitty has been with me for years. In January my Mom passed away, and through all the sadness there's my cat, coming to greet me when I come home everyday and Mom isn't there anymore. She misses her too.

 It is not your fault your cat was killed. I know there are those who want to make all cats indoors forever and cut off their toes. That's not what God intended for them. You sweet kitty friend had 6 wonderful years with you and got to live his life in the world the way he was intended to. Peace.

Grandma sewing room

So I am almost done with cleaning my grandmas sewing room that wasn’t touched in 10 years because of all the mess, but now that she passed away 2 days ago, I don’t know if I should continue, I wanna finish what I started but I don’t know what to do, my grandpa is still alive and I don’t want to leave this burden on him.See More
