Good morning Toni. Thank you for checking in with me. I am still taking things one day at a time. Some days are better than others. It has been 8 months now since I lost Romeo and I just don’t know where the time has gone. This is the hardest thing I’ve ever been through and I am still so heartbroken. I know there are so many others suffering the loss of their fur babies too and my heart breaks for them, as well.
Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Huge hugs to you too. -

Allison, I am so sorry. Watching our little darlings fail is brutal and breaks your heart every minute. Have you scheduled euthanasia? May I say that the actual passing is a release and relief for Kush and I think you will feel good knowing she isn’t suffering any more. You are keeping your promise to always do what is best for her, and helping her have a peaceful passing is the most loving, kind gift you can give her. Your heart is already breaking, and it will be painful to be home without her. May I suggest you not get rid of her things too quickly? Maybe put them away somewhere for awhile and one day you may want to pull them out, or donate them, but I regretted getting rid of everything too quickly. Do you have someone to be with you? Do you have another pet? If so, they will be mourning, too, and I hope you find comfort and support in each other. If not, I found a stuffed toy helped me. We are right here for you, Allison. Let us know what’s going on, and how you are. Please join us Thursday Sep. 21st in our group meeting. I am sending you my deepest sympathy 💔💔Toni -
Yes we go today

It’s amazing how time truly does go by so quickly. Grief heals in it’s own time and you are doing what you can by moving through it day by day. This may sound silly but can you watch some cute baby animal videos or visit a shelter? I find comfort knowing there are new lives to be enjoyed after we’ve said goodbye to our beloveds. Not that you should adopt, but just to get a dose of youthful exuberance. Let us know if you do that, and always keep us updated. Will we get to meet you at this month’s group meeting? The link is under “Events”. I feel as if we know you because you are so kind in supporting so many others here. 🤗💔Toni

Hi Toni, I have been watching videos about rescue groups and also shelters. Sometimes watching about the shelter dogs makes me sad because of the conditions they are living in. I want to go to my local shelter to see if I can get a cuddle in, but, I am allergic to shedding animals and have that concern. But, I do think I need to go somewhere to visit these poor babies. I would love to be able to sit with a scared baby and tell them it will be okay, but, like I said, I have allergies. I think maybe, ‘just take a allergy pill and do it Maureen’ 🤷
I still can’t think of ever getting another dog. My age and health are concerns. But, being around them might give me the joy I so miss.
I want to let you know that I have a hard time connecting with this site and I will try to get in on one of the group meetings soon. I would love to meet all of you. Meanwhile, I will continue my support of others whenever I can.
Thank you, again, for your support xx

That’s a brilliant idea, Maureen, if your allergies can withstand the exposure. I’m going to start fostering again. Like you, I am not ready to adopt but miss having furry ones around :-). Let us know what happens. Toni

@kitters87 Hi Carol. Welcome to our caring community. Kitters – what a great name! I am so sorry for your loss and hope you will tell us about your life with Kitters: How did you meet?

Karon, Thank you for sharing your touching and inspirational story. You have touched a lot of hearts and I appreciate the time you gave to tell us about Serenity and Einstein. Yes, our animals grieve alongside us and we support each other through those terribly painful times. This is why we are here – to listen to stories about life with our beloved pets, and to support one another as we mourn, and recover. Please continue to share with us, and give Einstein some good lovin’ from me 😻🤗💕. We’ll be waiting to hear from you. {{HUGS}} Toni -

I forgot to say in my previous post that, my baby girl kitty Serenity was my spunky feisty girl. Her twin brother Einstein (even though, they were the same age) was always looking after his sister. When two years ago (12/28/2021) when Serenity passed away, Einstein became very sad (as myself) and he became very depressed and distant. And I felt the same. But we managed to pull through. In my previous post I mentioned how happy and excited that Einstein is now my certified ESA, it means a lot to me because years ago when Serenity was still alive I wanted Serenity to be my ESA because I suffer from a mental illness and would have wanted Both Serenity & Einstein to be my ESAs but the ad said I could only pick one pet. Anyways, at the time when I realized how much the certification was, I was heartbroken because I could not afford it (I’m just on disability income) so I could not get the ESA and Serenity passed away… then I kept seeing the ad for the ESA. Well, actually sacrificing most of my monthly income I decided to apply for the ESA for my boy Einstein. So a few days ago I received my email that Einstein was approved! It was late in game (Einstein is a Senior Cat of 17yrs young) but I sacrificed money I really don’t have for my Einstein (and really for his twin sister Serenity too!) but although I’m overjoyed about Einstein’s ESA Certificate, I don’t forgive myself about not getting my baby girl Serenity’s ESA in time before she passed away. I have always loved them both equally but my baby girl Reeny (nic) was my precious! I feel Einstein is happy for both himself and his twin sister Serenity. I was so excited to tell him of the news and show him his certificate (which is in a beautiful frame on my altar in my bedroom near a picture of Serenity and her beautiful urn) I had a small celebration for him (Einstein) and my family! It was such a happy celebration with cake (humans), cat toys, presents, Temptation Treats for Cats, balloons 🎈 and some of his l…[Read more]

Oh Julie, Max is still within your heart and it hasn’t been very long for you to live without his presence in your home. It’s undertandable, and truly okay for you to feel the pains you do, and to cry. In fact, crying is good for you, to get rid of the sad toxins created by grief. So Julie, may I offer a way to navigate through this terribly hurtful time? Can you think of the times you shared with Max that were good, fun and loving, and see how many of those you shared and enjoyed? Perhaps that will help give a perspective. Our pets are only “on loan” to us, never for long enough, and we can honor our time together by recalling and celebrating all of the fabulous time we were allowed to share. I hope that helps you a bit, and I invite you to join our group meeting Sep. 21st to share more about Max with us. We’re here for you. {HUGS} Toni -

I miss this baby so much, I still cry everyday. I have his forever box on the living room window sill where he always went to see outside. Everyday when I open/close the blinds I have to touch his box and tell him how much I miss him. Max crossed the rainbow bridge June 18, 2023. He took my heart with him 😢-

As I\’ve settled into my new house I\’ve been having this recurring feeling of missing my pet Ziggy who passed October 2021. I always saw us getting the house and her being able to run around in our fenced-in yard. I miss her howls when she wanted to just talk. I want to create a little memorial I can visit in our backyard as we prepare for the cold months. My pup Xena played with her when she was younger and I see so much of Ziggy in her and it helps bring me peace. Whenever I hear this song, it reminds me of her. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrscdXiKnWc -
