    Maybe you have the space to foster, I funnelled the grief from losing my gorgeous cat, towards caring for sick kittens so they could be adopted.

      I love this idea. It makes so much sense.

      I suspect and fear the inevitable “foster fail” when I inevitably fall in love again.

        Yeah, I had foster fails, I’m looking at their fluffy butts right now. It doesn’t hurt as much to give them back to be adopted, when that feeling is compared to the pain of the grief you feel. And it does feel very nice to funnel that grief into something very positive.
