Jill, recently someone said to me “I don’t want to finish grieving yet”. I think that is brilliant – give ourselves permission to be in our grief as long as we want and need to be. You have to go straight through the depths of aching sadness to emerge from such a strong loss. There is no set timeline for our grieving processes, and even way out in the future sometimes a little thing will conjure tears. I think creating a memorial will help you. It can be a box of favorite toys, a collection of photos, or you can create a memorial tribute here in our “Memorials” tab. That gives you a place to go and just be in your memories and feelings. You can add to it any time and visit as often as you like. And Jill, if it was you who passed, wouldn’t you tell Gizmo to go live a happy life? I know she wishes that for you. We’re here to help you. What can we do for you?-
From what I think I know that there is nothing anyone can do for me or anyone else who is grieving we just have to go through it. Let time ease the pain won’t heal it but may or may not ease the pain. What I want is what I can not have again till the end of time is Gizmo back. I REALLY do appreciate you and the others checking in on me. Please don’t give up on me. Thank you Thank you.-
We’re here for you, Jill.

Susan, I am sorry Comet is physically gone, but know he lives in your heart and memories. Many states are legislating puppy mills and you might want to contact your representatives to become active in those efforts. let us know what you find out, and please let us know how you are doing. Do you have other pets now?-
My 3 year female orange cat went through hoarders and the couple were arrested as many cats were found deceased . Snoozy is a survivor and I love this beautiful orange eyed cat.

I got her when she was a kitten

1. Your cats have the best names.
2. Do you think it was a kindness to Sea Salt that he didn’t have to suffer the ailments the vet identified? Of course it is shocking for you, and traumatic, but it sounds as if he didn’t linger and suffer.
I am truly sorry and sad for your parting. Castiel will bring you joy and love, not to replace Sea Salt, but to add to making new memories. We look forward to photos and stories. Please let us know how you are doing. Hugs-
Hi. Thanks for responding. Yes, maybe it was for the best that Sea Salt died at home with me comforting him. Sure did hurt to lose him, though, and it has been very rough on my younger daughter, who misses him terribly. Castiel has been a blessing to us, and especially to my husband, who is actually more of a dog person. I am attempting to download my pictures from our thumb drive, so hopefully I will have pictures soon!-

I’m glad you said that, Lynn. How do you use it to bring comfort?-
It’s a place in my yard where I can go and reflect on the good times I shared with my cats. I plant catnip that I know they loved and just talk to them.

That’s what we love to see, Tay! What a magnificent job you all are doing for little Ryuu. I must give a lot of credit to the other cat (who is that?) taking care of him, plus taking a pretty good swipe from him:-). Please share what you learn from the vet so we can all benefit. I can’t thank you enough for sharing this with us. We’re all excited to follow his progress. Toni -

Well that’s a shmae, Kathy. I remember you were concerned about them getting too attached to you, but they won’t reallyThat’s a shame, Kathy. I remember you were concerned about them getting too attached to you. I think pets may be more resilient than we are, though :-). Yes, do show photos, and stay in touch. Best wishes to you, too.

Oh my, Lisa, you have me smiling and crying at the same time. What a charming and moving ode. How kind and dear you are to write this, and generous to share it with us. I don’t know if you use Facebook, but if you want to post it, our name on Facebook is MYFaithfulfriends. Thank you, thank you, for this poetic gift. Toni -

It’s nice, and I know how important a memorial is, Dianne. It can really help heal. Just click the “Memorials” tab at the top of this page. We have to charge a very nominal fee of $29./year to help offset our cost. You may share anything you want about Bessie, as many photos as you like, and keep adding as often as you want. Please let me know if you need any help. Hugs. -

Thank you for sharing your sympathy and support, Dianne. Our community doesn’t work without, well, our community members. We recently opened our memorials area and I wonder if a memorial to Bessie would be a healing place for you to keep her memories, that you can visit and update, and know it’s always there for you. I’ll be writing more about the healing help memorials can provide, but one major benefit is to have a place just for Bessie so you can open your heart to more joys and loves. You are so kind to care for and about others who are hurting. That means so much. I’m happy to hear from you, Dianne.-
I would love a memorial to my Bessie.She is always my best friend.-

Elaina, we welcome you to our caring community of pets lovers, most of whom have experienced the deep pain of parting from our beloved pet. It is so kind of our members to extend their own sympathy and understanding – it helps us to know we’re not alone, someone really understands, and cares. Thank you Shannon, for reaching out. Elaina, was Holly a cat by any chance? My 17 year old has compromised kidneys (among other problems) and I think it is a common ailment in cats. Perhaps dogs too? Would you like to share some of your photographic memories with us? Mourning takes as much time as it takes- there is no time frame, but hopefully your smiles will come before tears and your sweet, fun memories will bring you comfort, and much joy for the life you shared. Stay with us, Elaina, and let us know how your are dong.-
Yep. Holly was a cat. She had the most beautiful eyes. I remember the day after I put her down, it was such a painful day for me. I couldn’t believe she was just gone, just like that. I couldn’t walk around my apartment. I just couldn’t. I just laid in bed all day crying for her. Weeks to follow. It was such an emptiness, a silence. The silence was venue loud because it was a reminder she was no longer here with me. I have tons of pics of her. She was my heart.
-
How are you coming along, Elaina? Are you feeling any better? Are Sassy and Shyla helping cheer you?
