    Oh Beverly, our pets count on us, trust us, to do what’s best for them, not us. Sometimes what’s best is to help them to a peaceful passing. Most of us here have had to make the difficult decision of when it time to stop, and grant them comfort. I’ve done it three times this past 1 1/2 years and it’s always awful, but good, knowing they aren’t suffering anymore. An enlarged bowel could have ruptured causing Bandit extreme agony. It’s good you didn’t let that happen, don’t you think? (Walter had a mass on his intestines and bowels and that was the main reason I let him go – so it wouldn’t rupture). You know you did everything you could, always in Bnadit’s best interest. Now you have to crawl through the deep pain of parting to get to a point of finding smiles before tears with his memories. I hope you’ll join us Thursday to talk about Bandit. (Under “Events). 💔🤗Toni

      Diane, you are welcome to light another candle on the anniversary of Eddie’s passing. And, on the anniversary of his birthday or adoption day! Join us Thursday for our group meeting if you like. Anniversaries, especially the first, bring up many emotions and memories. I hope you think of the many fun, funny and loving times you and Eddie shared. We’re thinking of you 💔Toni

          Karen, you’ve been through a lot! I am so glad you find the strength to care for Alfie and Lily Belle, but maybe you all prop each other up. Sometime in the past the quote by Ram Dass “We are here to walk each other home” really landed on me. Best wishes to you!

            Hello all, sorry I haven’t responded in awhile, but I have been struggling with the loss of my June… I miss her so much…

              • Hi Christina, I am so sorry for your loss of June 💔 I know how hard it is to lose our fur baby. I am still struggling over the loss of my Romeo even though it’s been 6 months. Life is so painful and sad without them. Take care.
                Sending you comforting hugs 💔
                • Sorry I didn’t make the meeting, had a bad migraine. Thank you for your kind words…every now and then I see my June on the couch or our bed. I believe she is here…
                  • June sure was a cutie, Christina, and she will always be with you in many ways, especially after sharing 20 wonderful years together. It just hasn’t been very long since you parted and the pain of parting is still raw. But do you find you are able to have more and more happy, good memories each day? Ouch – migraines. That is so tough and I am so sorry you suffer those. Have you tried Botox? I know a few people who benefit, and some who don’t. Worth a try? We meet online each month and perhaps you can join us August 17rh. I think you will find comfort and encouragement with our very kind and understanding group. Christina, please continue to keep us in your loop. We are here for you. Toni
                    • Thank you for understanding, I do go for Botox treatments every 3 months. They have cut my migraines a lot. My June use to sleep with me and stay woo me when I had a migraine. She was beautiful kitty…
                      • You are fortunate to fund some relief from the treatments, Christina. Migraines are brutal. June knew when you were unwell, when you were happy, and that you loved her back. That’s a huge hole left in your life and heart. I hope you can add one happy, fun or funny memory to your thoughts each day until you are finding smiles before your tears with her memories. We’ll walk that path with you. Toni

                                I lost my precious Bandit on April 11 of this year. I am having a hard time dealing with her passing. She was 16, had diabetes, thyroid problems, a mass in her chest,a heart murmur, and an enlarged bowel. I tried everything to save her.

                                  Lulu always wanted a cat tree. When she was eleven I bought her a used one. Until then she loved my suitcase. When she passed she was buried in the back yard, I made her a cross to always honor her. Lulu will always be in my soul. She was a few months shy of being 14. I couldn\’t get thru another day alone and the thoughts of Lulu wore heavy on my brain, so I adopted crazy Lucy. She occupied my brain by doing things that made me laugh.. she adores tv. And is slowly coming around. She sits in her chair and watches TV for hours. I don\’t have many pictures of Lucy, but I will. Cause she\’s a crazy cat..I will always love LULU forever, but it was time to love again.

                                      Dana, I am so sorry for your loss of Grunt- Grunt 😞 Reading your post had me in tears. You went through so much and you did the best for her. I am heartbroken for you. I lost my boy 6 months ago and I am still not doing well, so I understand what you’re going through.
                                      Sending you hugs. Peace be with you 😞 💔

                                        Lisa, I understand 😞 I am so sorry for your loss 💔 Getting over it is not possible, it’s very painful and you will grieve. When we lose our precious fur babies it is gut wrenching. Some people don’t understand how we can still be grieving after a certain time, but, I guess they never had a special bond with a animal. They mean well when they say those things because they dont know what else to say and they are trying to help you. That’s why this group exists to help us get through this terrible grief. You can come here anytime and say what is on your mind. No judgement here.
                                        Sending you lots of hugs and wishing you peace. Take care of yourself 💔 😞

                                          Brony, I wish you all the best with your new Kitty, Lucy. I’m glad she makes you smile. I know she will help you with your loss of Lulu. Sending you hugs.

                                              Brony, hope you had a very nice Birthday. You are a year younger than my son, he was 58 on the 6th. So, I should get a goldfish? 🙂
                                              I’ve been there and done that…..they die too easily. But, it was a good suggestion. Have a nice day!
