Amy, there is no time line for grieving and I am so sorry. You will always miss Chloe Bell but can you find some smiles in remembering the good times you and Chloe Bell shared? Have you tried writing a letter to her? Maybe write one from her to you? What do you think she would want you to know? Please come to our group meeting April 20th and talk with us. {HUGS} -

Hi Amy, as Toni says there is no time line for grieving and we all need to do it in a way that works for us. There’s no advice really, I can just tell you what works for me: my cats past and present have a big space in my heart. They are safe there, I don’t need to worry about them and I do believe they are in a good place. I will never loose this feeling even though I can’t touch them anymore. But I can put my hand on my heart and remember how sweet they were and be grateful. I can think of the times when they were especially cute and funny and I feel love. Time will get you there. Sending good wishes!

Thinking of Penny, with love. You were wonderful to take her in and give her a loving life. I hope you find comfort in that. Toni
-
Thank you Toni. I don’t think I will ever get over losing her. I had dogs all my life, all males but she was the first female dog I had. She was my best friend and I will mourn her for a long time.

Hi Maryann, Penny looks like a sweet best friend! I don’t think that we ever “get over” losing someone like that. But thankfully time will help us get more at peace with the fact that they’re gone and make it possible for us to remember without crying all the wonderful times we had, the fun, the quirky things they did and what made them so special. There is a space in my heart just for my cats, all of them, and in that way they are with me forever, safe and sound.

I’m so very sorry I hope your memories may bring you some comfort
-
It has been a little over a month now and I still cry and talk to her picture all the time and tell her how much I miss her. I know as time goes on hit will get easier but right now it is still raw.
-
Maryann, how are you doing today?
-
Toni I’m just so sad. Penny is gone 6 weeks now and I don’t think I will ever get over losing her. I had to make the decision to let her go and it was one of the hardest decisions I had to make. I jyst miss her terribly. She was my best friend.
-
Hi Maryann, it’s Sigrid again. It takes a lot of time to heal. And I was wondering if you could pour the love you have for Penny into some cause that needs it, at a shelter for example or tending to feral cats in your neighborhood. I think in addition to missing Penny you also have no place or being to give your love to. It will not bring her back but you could dedicate your helpful activities to her, to honor her and to be grateful that she was in your life. This is no advice, just something I saw a neighbor do when her cat passed. She now takes good care of the feral cats around here, has them spayed or neutered, feeds them and finds homes for them. They would be lucky to have you.
-
That’s a lovely idea but I am housebound and get around with a walker and wheelchair so that isn’t possible for me to do. Penny was the light in my life behind all the darkness that I experienced since May 2020. She has been gone 6 weeks and I miss her so much.
-
Maryann: I feel your pain. The grife had no time limit ,just tak it one day at a time. My litte Shadow has bee gone for 1 year this month he was only 3 years 0ld 7 months after my loving husband passed. So my grief was doubled. But think of all the loving memories help some but still miss them both very much. Sorry you having such tough time. Maybe you could have someone send you photos of some adoption kitty’s, 0r dogs,than if you see one Maybe asked if they could bering the kitty to you or dog n just sn idea. Prays going out to you.

Oh Patty, what happened? My friend Tom was sitting with his Rigby in his lap, got up to get an iced tea, came back and Rigby was dead. Literally, within a minute, and no signs of ill health. Is it pre-ordained or happenstance? I don’t know, but I do know how very sorry I am. Patty, come to our group meeting April 20th. I think you will find it kind, caring, understanding and supportive. I am, again, so very sorry. Toni -

Lena, Shadow was sooo handsome. My BG was a black cat (you can see her pictures in the Memorial tab) and she was 18 when we said goodbye lat year. I can totally fall in love with Shadow with you, and am so very sad and sorry for your parting. It seems you and Shadow spent half his life together and isn’t that wonderful? I was only with BG for five of her 18 years, and they were golden. I hope you can think of the good, and great life you and Shadow shared, and that your memories bring you joy and smiles. And please Lena, join us April 20th in our group meeting to talk about Shadow with us. We’re thinking of you, with heartfelt sympathy. Toni -

This is my beautiful kitty, JellyBean. I lost her very unexpectedly on December 16, 2022. She was just 5 years old. My heart is broken….💔🐾🐾🌈-

Shogun is named after a Brazilian MMA fight that is a favorite of my husbands. We have been on vacation this week and I’m afraid to go home. We left him at his boarding place and he died while we were away. I feel so guilty, but I hate knowing we are going back to an empty house without him. It’s been tough, but also a good distraction for us being with family this week. -

Oh how precious, Kristina. It hurts so deeply, doesn’t it? I am so very sorry. It’s hard that our beloved pets are only “on loan” to us, never for long enough. I hope you can find some comfort knowing you and Digger shared a wonderful life.

I’m with you about not putting them through extreme measures, especially when they are older. I’m facing that with Walter right now, and it helps to think of what is best for them, not us. And no, you can’t replace a pet with another. You CAN open your home and heart to a new love, but no one will “replace” Ricky. It may be some time before you are ready to do that. Or, what happened to me – a cat needed a home after my BG died and I took him in. I didn’t think I was ready, and I really didn’t want another pet yet, but it truly took me out of my blues and pain by having him. Now I have another cat who’s person died and he is old and sick. It’s easy to fall in love, brutal to say goodbye. Please don’t let anyone pressure you into doing anything. Come to our group meeting and you’ll hear similar stories from others. It can help a lot. Let us know how you are doing. It takes time, Donna, and we’re here for you. Toni -

Oh Amanda, I am sorry. One thing we encourage is to celebrate birth and adoption dates, not only remembering the date we said goodbye. Perhaps you can try that. An exercise we use is to recall at least one fun or funny thing from our times rogether when the tears take over. Talk with us about your babies with our kind, understanding group meeting on April 20th. And keep sharing with us here. Sending you {HUGS} Toni -

Thanks. I know I did everything I could for him, but without more, painful procedures he would have suffered. Ive lost my friend, my support, my guardian all in 4 days. Everyone says get another dog to focus on, but I don’t want another dog, I just want my boy…🥺 - Load More
