How to mourn in a constructive way

Yesterday, my feline friend of 18 years, a beautiful sleek, sweet natured black cat named Honey died. She had been under treatment for hyperthyroid which in an old cat manifests as starvation no matter how much they eat. She had been on medication and special foods, but eventually age and her disease caught up with her and she died at home, at night, in her sleep. My sister came to help me by digging a grave and we buried her in her cat bed in a box and planted yellow daffodils and white tulips on her grave. Next, we took 3 medium sized boxes of my old paid bills of the last five years or so, to a 'shred for the shelter' event which you can see on the flyer below. All the proceeds from the event go straight to the Voorhees Animal Orphanage which is where I had adopted a dog before the one I have now, Trixie, who also died a few yers back. So this donation helped the shelter that provided me with a loyal and loving dog companion and the donation honors the memory of my beloved cat companion Honey. So if you want to help pets, you can volunteer, donate, or keep your eyes open for events like this one! Also, PLEASE if you are considering adopting, give a shelter pet a home rather than money to breeders. Shelter dogs are healthier than overbred breeder's dogs anyhow!
