I have been through some tough times in the last few years and lately am trying to get more in touch with faith and spirituality.

The latest tragedies in my life are the loss of two of our dogs, one last April and one yesterday.  Their deaths are heartbreaking and the pain feels unbearable.  I am obsessed with the search for proof that we will be together again after we die.

I was raised as a Catholic but I have not followed the Church's rules so I don't feel like I can still call myself a Catholic.  

I definitely believe in God.  But all other details of my faith are not as strong.  I hope to strengthen my faith.
