my innerself, I'm really sorry for your loss. May I recommend something, though? Have you considered getting another cat? I know that this may sound insensitive, but speaking from personal experience, I have noticed that when pet owners get another pet, they eventually warm up to their new pets and they're not nearly as distraught, as a result.
I know that initially, a new cat would feel like a strange, but, with time, it's hard to not become attached to a cute, furry creature who likes you. And once this happens, it might be easier to remember "Flint Marco" on a positive note, as opposed to getting a sad reaction every time.
