Not humans but I was actually holding in my arms 3 of my
beloved ferret friends the moment that they died. These
were all my babies and best friends for several years.
I was glad that I was there for them but all haunt me
to this day. It was not good for me. Even once they
died, I continued to hold and talk to them and yes,
cry too. I denied their death until the bodies finally
turned stiff and then I faced the facts.
