She looks like a little doll. She, and you, were so lucky to have each other. Thank you for the picture of Gracie May. How are you doing, Tamara? -

I am so sorry, Martha. What a sweet and pretty girl. I am sure you are hurting and hope you smile with her memories. How long were you and Missy together? What breed/s was she?-
Missy had been with me from 10 weeks until 10 1/2 years. She was a Maltese. She and het brother were born at my brother and SIL’s. My late SIL was her breeder. They were the lady litter to be born before my SIL passed.-
Oh dear Martha, I am sorry for both losses – your SIL and Missy. Now that you tell us she was a Maltese, I see it. How darling. I hope you allow yourself to grieve at your own pace, and please feel comfortable sharing your feelings with us. There are no timelines on healing. We’re thinking of you…….

Thank you. Some days I think I am doing fairly well but other days I am a wreck.

Martha, it’s only been a few weeks since you and Missy parted. Of course you are feeling sad – you are mourning, and it takes as long as it takes to find smiles before tears. We’re thinking of you. Stay with us and let us know how you are.

I think you’ll be okay for a 4 hour drive. Just make sure your gas tank is full! There are a lot of mountains depending on the part of state you’re in — beautiful drive 🙂 -

awww … how sweet 🙂 I lost my little girl on Aug 8 – writing memories, feelings and emotions helped me a lot – I also ordered the book Griffin’s heart – it’s a book of stories as well as places to journal, paste photos and read stories about other people feeling the same way you do. Wishing you much peace! hugs, Terrilynn -

are the cats used to being on a leash?
when we moved from NM to FL my BIL and SIL adopted our last cat from us – they live in Seattle – I got some calming meds from the vet for the airplane ride – IMHO I would think that the cats would be more comfortable just staying in the car … but none of my cats went outside, nor were they trained to walk on a leash. Best of luck! -

I am so sorry to hear about the lose of your precious fur babies – I’ve lost several around the same time – within a few year time span- because we adopted them all around the same age – we knew 10-15 years down the road they would all start to pass away…
Happy to hear that you’re helping your heart heal but adopting again – a new one never replaces but helps the heart to heal.
I lost a little girl and have been using the book Griffin’s heart- it helps to read the stories as well as journal feelings down … wishing you much peace! hugs, Terrilynn -

Omg I love that face. I’m so sorry for your loss. 15 years builds a lot of memories. I hope you write them down to help process them. I’m sending all my love! -

Oh Mary, that is a lot to lose almost exactly a year apart for three years. I understand how you must be walking through a fog of grief. I will share a story I haven’t thought of in years, and maybe we can make some sense of Gizmo’s passing: I had 3 cats and one was just a kitten who would not go outside. I had to pick her up and take her out. One night, one of the other cats walked in through the sliding door I held open for her and the kitten jumped over that cat – something she never, ever did. Ever. She did not go outside. When the kitten didn’t come in after a few minutes, I sent the other cat to find her and she came back to the door and I knew …. the kitten had been hit and killed. I have always wondered if the kitten was somehow compelled to not only go out that night, but to actually jump over the back of the other cat to do so. We’ll never know about my kitten, or your Gizmo, but maybe there are reasons why these tragedies happen to our little innocents….I don’t know, but I am very sad and sorry for your losses. And Thank You for being so kind and generous by opening your home and heart to more new loves. Please, let us know how you are coming along. -

Awwww….what a darling girl. And tolerant (the tutu and crown!) :-). My toothless black cat is soon to be 17 1/2 and I know that’s a nice, long, (spoiled) life, but when she goes I am going to feel the bite of loss mixed with the joy of love. But, like you, I wouldn’t trade our time together. Please share your own support, sympathies and encouragement with anyone in our Community who touches you. It means a lot to hear from other bereaved pet lovers. I look forward to hearing how you are doing. Toni -

Oh Tara, I don’t think four or five months is very long to mourn, and hope you will be kind to yourself. We have resources to help you if you like: our grief counselor (click the box on the upper right side to contact him directly), and two books: “Griffin’s Heart” – part supportive book, part journaling for your feelings, and a digital book – “101 Ways to Help Your Heart Heal after Pet Loss” you can download. They are in our Shop. Of course, we are here for you to share with, too, and understand. Sending you a HUG. -

We are moving to West Virginia and taking our two cats in their carriers in the car. We have disposable litter boxes, food and water, as well as calming spray. We plan to stop at rest stops and let our cats out on harnesses and leashes. Any suggestions or advice?

Mary posted an update 5 years, 2 months ago
This is Jonas (golden who passed 9/30/19 at 12 YO, spleen cancer), Nick (black lab who passed at just barely 13 YO, 9/14/20 bone cancer) and my Gizmo (shihpoo who passed at 13 YO, 8/3/21 ran over). I barely got over Jo and Nick died. I wasn\’t over Nick and God ripped my lil man Giz from me in the most tragic accident. We have since rescued 3 more pups but my heart is broken. I never was able to say goodbye to Giz because of head trauma but his heart stopped beating as I held him. I will never be the same💔-

Tara posted a new activity comment 5 years, 2 months ago
Grim was an 11 year old border collie mix. We had him since he was about 9 weeks old. He passed in April. He was always so excited to see us when we came home. He had so much personality and always made us smile. His death consumes my thoughts. It’s been 4 months and I can’t get past it.-
