Oh Jeri, Chloe was so darn cute. Hard to believe she was deaf with those big ears! My old cat has become deaf and blind this year, but she’s getting around okay. I don’t think it’s been very long since you and Chloe parted, so I hope you are kind to yourself and know you can grieve and share with us. I’m sending you a big {{HUG}}
I am so sorry for your loss of Chloe. Five months go I lost my precious Missy. It is so difficult. Please be patient with yourself and know that others care. Hugs and prayers.
5 months, Because she deaf she was basically with all the time. She was little, so she wanted be carried or in your lap always. I miss her so much. Can’t seem to stop tears… she died such a horrible death.
This past summer after many tests, we discovered she had a liver shunt, plus Microvascular dysphasia of the liver, gallbladder stones and bladder stones. Her attacks with the liver shunt were coming closer and closer together. They told us she needed to have corrective surgery for the liver shunt. We had it done on Aug 6. , Friday, we brought her home Saturday. Sunday we were rushing her back to the hospital at noon. She was having Grand Mall seizures. They worked through the night to get them under control, when we came back on Monday morning, my poor baby girl was brain damaged and her eyes were just blinking and legs going, she didn’t even know we were there.. it was a horrible death for my sweet baby. I can’t for get it out of my head and heart… even though she didn’t feel good at the end she was always such a happy and loveable little girl. God I miss her..
Jeri, this is a terrible story and was a horrific time for all of you. Poor little Chloe. She was so lucky to have you provide such care and love. Sometimes there’s just nothing for it and exiting this world is a welcome gift. That’s what happened for Chloe. Of course you can’t forget it because of the way you saw her, but I suspect she was not aware after the seizures and brain event. One of the absolutely magnificent things about our pets is their stoicism, they don’t complain, and I try to take inspiration from them and follow suit. There is no time line or prescribed way to grieve, and it’s totally okay to laugh and smile with her memories as you move through. I an here, as is the community, so stay in close touch. I’d love to see some more pictures if you would share them? Here’s is a {{HUG}} as big as Chloe’s ears 🙂
Thank you for your kind words, I just have to find a way to work through this. I’m reading some books now to try and help me. I’ve had other pets pass, but she’s been so very hard for me.
Jeri, we have a book/journal in our shop: https://www.faithfulfriends.com/shop/griffins-heart-pet-loss-book/
It was written by Reagan Pasternak – perhaps you know her from her career as an actress – who created it to help her through her own grief of losing her most beloved Griffin. Some of our members have found it helpful, and you may too. We also have a pet grief counselor available if you would like to speak with him: https://heartfeltfarewells.com/
Of course, we are all here for, and with you, to share your feelings. We get it. We understand. We care. Let us know how you are doing, Jeri.
