Could not continue reading your post at the first sight of "blood".
Sorry for your loss. If it hurt, I can relate:

When Gary landed in the hospital turning yellow and jaundiced, I was just as
devasted as my very first heartbreak; heart pounding emptiness of shear agony
for my blunder.

Some withdraw never to love again in this life, thinking "love hurts". When
really the answer is to love more.

Here is his first photo when he landed hungry on our patio. (lower right)

Who could not love that face (even though it was biting the heads off the mice
he caught), Answer: Dark souls cannot love
