I still have yet to have feelings so I guess I don't need to worry about comfort or holding.  I do know that when I have to put my cats to sleep, which I think about often because they're 16, I know that I'm not going to want to be comforted.  I'll want to be left alone and won't want to talk to anyone.  As for what will happen with my eating, that's another story.  Who knows.  I will most definitely be tested.  I don't think anything would comfort me.
