    @gregorylauren1gmail-com Hi Lauren, welcome to our caring community. I am so sorry for your loss of Katie and understand it’s been a couple of years since you said goodbye, and yet the memories are still vivid and can hurt, but also bring wonderful joy with the memories of the good times you shared. May we see pictures of Katie? And tell us about your “chonk”! I had the pleasure of caring for Boots before he went back to his human and can tell you I miss him every day. Are many tuxedos 15 pounds? Thank you, Lauren, for sharing your sympathy and understanding with others in our community. That’s what we’re here for. Sending you a {BIG HUG} Toni

          Hi Catherine, I am so sorry for your loss of Taj 💔 Losing our fur babies is the most heartbreaking thing to go through . I understand your pain and I wish there was a simple answer to how to go on after losing them, but there isn’t. I lost my Romeo 7 months ago and I’m still gutted and cry everyday. I just take it one day at a time. That’s all we can do. I wish you peace at this very sad time.
          I’m sending you comforting hugs 💔

            Catherine, I am so very sorry for your losses, and your deep pain. A few months – many months – moving through grief has no timeline. There are some things you can do, when you’re ready, to help ease the pain. One of them is to write a letter to Taj telling him everything you are feeling and treasure about your times together. Then, write the letter Taj would send to you. You may find Taj has nothing but love and gratitude for his life with you, and he would want you to be happy for the gifts you shared. Our pets are only “on loan” to us, never for long enough. Forever wouldn’t be long enough. But everything and everyone will move on, just as every leaf will fall from a tree (even a rock will erode with time). I think our pets know this better than we do. When you are ready, you might think of your time with Taj as a ruler with each inch being a year. As you recall each inch (year) and the fun and funny times you shared, allow yourself to relive the joy you felt. You will see that just the very last part of the ruler was an unhappy time for you and Taj. I hope some of this helps you, and I hope you will join our group meeting September 21st to talk about Taj and your other babies. Meanwhile, keep sharing with us. We’re here for you with sympathy and understanding.💔Toni

              It is so hard to live without our fur babies. I had a little dog pass a couple of years ago. I still have a huge chonk of a tuxedo cat and he’s become my emotional support animal kind of. I’m so sorry for your loss. Hugs
              • Lauren posted an update 3 years, 1 month ago

                I’m new here. I love and have loved all my fur babies. I’ve had 3 pass since I married 22 years ago. And they’ve all been so special to me. My last one I had was a Shih Tzu named Katie. She passed two years ago and it seems like yesterday.

                  Not a day goes by I don’t think of my boys, I miss them all so much. It’s been months since I lost my baby Taj, trying to learn to live without him has been the hardest thing I’ve ever done. How do you go on when your heart is so broken.

                        That’s lovely, Cindy. I am glad you feel JJ with you and hopw you find a bit of comfort in that.

                          JJ is home, even though it makes feel more real that he is really gone. I feel him here with us.

                            Hi Christina. I am glad to hear from you and am sorry you have been going through whatever it has been. Does that add to your migraines? Stress and grief do that. It’s understandable that you are missing June – it hasn’t been very long since you said goodbye, especially after twenty years of love together. Heck, I still think of my Squirt who died in the ’90’s and get choked up. Our love never goes away. What we CAN do to help heal is let our minds take charge rather than our hearts, to remind us that our pets are only ‘on loan’ to us, and that while we are graced with their company we have shared the gift of lives well lived in love. Take all the time you need, continue to share with us here, and know we undertsand and care. Here is a {{BIG HUG} for you. Toni

                              Cindy, I am sorry. Picking up what was your most beloved friend is a terribly difficult thing to do. It is another harsh and hard reminder that JJ is really gone and is one of the most difficult and heartbreaking moments in your life. I am crying writing this, thinking of your pain. So let’s do it, and go through this together. Please cry and rant or whatever you need to do, then please take some deep breaths and think of a moment with JJ in which you were both so happy, content and loving. Whew – doesn’t that feel better? Try to stay in your head for a bit, remembering that everyone, everything, will pass one day, and that you gave JJ the best life for JJ’s allotted time here. It’s an exercise you can practice each day, as many times a day as you need. I hope that helps as you navigate through the grief of loss towards the profound joy of treasured memories. Stay with us here, Cindy. We’re with you and have more tools to help you through this terrible time of loss . 💔Toni
