I’m so sorry for your loss 😢
I lost mine to lung cancer and I didn’t even know he had cancer until that fateful day! Hugs -

Aww she will adjust, they know more than we think they know.
I think mine was depressed for a bit after my friend had to send her baby across the bridge a year prior to mine. It’s like you leave the house with them and you come home without them. -

It has been 9 weeks now since I lost my sweet baby boy, it is getting a little bit better but oh how I miss seeing him everywhere in the house.
At times I still can\’t believe that he is really gone. 😢💔🐕-
Chris, when I said goodbye to my girl, I felt good knowing she was at peace. She was old and had become quite unwell. But, when I walked in the house the emptiness and reality hit me hard. It does take time and the pain lessens. Do you think it was best for him that he was not sick for long? Better than a drawn out illness? Ten years, a hundred…it’s never long enough. We never will forget them, and I am grateful for the time we shared, as I suspect you are. It’s good to hear your update and I hope you continue to let us know how you are doing. And thank you for so kindly sharing your own support with others. It’s why we are here. Please come to our next group meeting June 15th. It’s good to talk among understanding people. Sending you a {HUG}. Toni -
What a sweet face he has! I know how you wait for them to show up where they used to be! When I would drive up to my house my cat Drew would welcome me. He could hear I was coming from the sound of my car! It’s been 3 years and I still for a split second expect him to sit there waiting for me. But now I think more about how cute and funny he was. And your boy is safe now, no aches or pains due to age or illness. Sometimes I think we are courageous to give our hearts away again and again because we know it’s not forever. But the time we have with them is precious and stays with us. All the memories and stories. I hope you have support to help heal your heart, a friend or your family. And you have this group. Talking about them helps. Sending good wishes!

Things are fine. My one dog still doesn’t understand she is the only one now. Still looking around corners. One day she will get it

The other pets in a household were friends, too, and mourn. She needs your love and kindness now, just as you need hers. You’ll help each other get through this time and the changes to daily routines. Please tell us about her, Cindy. Were they blood relatives? About the same age? Were they close (it sounds like it).

This is the kitty I lit my candle for Toby Ryan my Russian Blue Boy! He lost the battle with pancreatic cancer ! My heart is still 💔-

You are not kidding. She looks every time the back door opens

Rebecca, what a beautiful picture of Toby Ryan! And I am so sorry you lost him. I love it that the community is working: people who know what you are going through chiming in and letting you know you are not alone in your grief. It doesn’t bring anybody back but the pain of grief is so much harder to bear when you have to do it all alone. And many people don’t know the strong ties that connect us with our furry friends. Some even belittle or judge your grief. Not here. Please find comfort in this place that is created to hear you and to make space for your grief – AND stories about your beloveds quirks and joys and endearing habits. I love to see the photos that go with the names and I appreciate to get to know about this special friend. I love to read how people go through stages of grief, how they take courage from talking and remembering and being vulnerable by describing the pain and loss. I see that many stay with the community and write about healing and moving on without giving up what was so special about this love. This is a truly good place.

Rebecca, you are an absolute angel, caring for so many over he years, knowing that saying goodbye takes a piece of you with each one. How kind and loving of you. It’s very hard but very rewarding, isn’t it? Pancreatic is one of the most dreaded cancers and I am so very soory for Toby Ryan, and for you. How long were you together? How did you meet? How many kitties do you have now? Are they missing Toby Ryan, too? As you read through the posts here, you’ll see that other pets in the household do indeed mourn the passing of a friend, too, and need extra loving, as do you, Rebecca. I am sending you a {{HUG}} and my sympathy. And gratitude for all you do for others. Toni

Rebecca, I am so, so sorry for your loss 😞 From what I read, I see how loving and kind you have been to so many kitties, knowing full well that one day you would go through this horrible pain when they leave.
I lost my boy in January and am still grieving so hard. I don’t know how people can go through this heartache over and over again. But, I thank goodness for people like you who help these poor fur babies.
Sending you hugs 🫂 to comfort you at this very sad time. 💔
I wish you peace

Ashley, I am so sorry. Mason was your dear, beloved best friend and your generosity and love in letting him find peace and comfort is a testament to your love and selflessness. And strength. It takes strength to love so deeply and let go, thinking only of what was best for Mason. But it hurts and I hope you can find some comfort knowing Mason had a wonderful life with you. Our pets are only on loan to us, never for long enough. If you can, please think of the many fun and loving times you were lucky to share – I hope you find joy with those memories. Please let us know how you are doing, Ashley, and join us June 15th to talk aout your life with Mason. Here is a {HUG} for you. Toni -

Lori, I am sorry. My darling slept with me, too, and I found a stuffed toy helped me when she passed. I kissed and cried into it. Maybe that can bring you a little relief. How long were you and Luckyduck together? How did you met? What kind of pet was he? May we see some pictures? {HUGS} Toni -

Cookie was a small girl who was a huge part of your family for a long time, Carla, and it’s understandable that your world feels broken, because a part of it broke away. I am so very sorry. Our pets are only on loan to us, never for long enough – forever iwouldn’t be enough time together. I hope you can weigh the seventeen wonderful years of joy against this painful period and find joy knowing Cookie shared her best life with you. If she sent you a Thank You note, what would she say? Perhaps you can write a note to Cookie, telling her how grateful you are for having her in your life and heart. Please let us know how you and your family are doing, Carla. {{HUGS}} Toni -

Mason was a 10 year old American Bulldog who was sheer perfection, never gave a single problem except the occasional eye roll. He was perfectly healthy until the end of March where he started slowing down and not eating as much, he was diagnosed with stomach cancer that had spread to his pancreas the end of April and he let me know on mother’s day he was ready. Monday May 15th Madon was set free of cancer and took a huge piece if my heart over that rainbow bridge. By far one of the hardest weeks of my life without my perfect boy by my side. We were inseparable and I am lost without him. -

Oh Leslie, what fun you and Keshia had! Walks in all kinds of weather, graduation, birthdays…. How lucky for you both to share such good times. I am so sorry for your parting and agree with you – it’s better for Keshia to be free from pain and sickness. That’s the biggest gift of all – thinking of her best inetrest. Of course it comes at the expense of heartbreak, but finding joy in the time we are granted can bring some comfort. I hope you find smiles before tears with her memories. Please let us know how you are doing. {HUGS} Toni - Load More
