Catherine

It is so hard to live without our fur babies. I had a little dog pass a couple of years ago. I still have a huge chonk of a tuxedo cat and he’s become my emotional support animal kind of. I’m so sorry for your loss. Hugs

Catherine, I am so very sorry for your losses, and your deep pain. A few months – many months – moving through grief has no timeline. There are some things you can do, when you’re ready, to help ease the pain. One of them is to write a letter to Taj telling him everything you are feeling and treasure about your times together. Then, write the letter Taj would send to you. You may find Taj has nothing but love and gratitude for his life with you, and he would want you to be happy for the gifts you shared. Our pets are only “on loan” to us, never for long enough. Forever wouldn’t be long enough. But everything and everyone will move on, just as every leaf will fall from a tree (even a rock will erode with time). I think our pets know this better than we do. When you are ready, you might think of your time with Taj as a ruler with each inch being a year. As you recall each inch (year) and the fun and funny times you shared, allow yourself to relive the joy you felt. You will see that just the very last part of the ruler was an unhappy time for you and Taj. I hope some of this helps you, and I hope you will join our group meeting September 21st to talk about Taj and your other babies. Meanwhile, keep sharing with us. We’re here for you with sympathy and understanding.💔Toni

Hi Catherine, I am so sorry for your loss of Taj 💔 Losing our fur babies is the most heartbreaking thing to go through . I understand your pain and I wish there was a simple answer to how to go on after losing them, but there isn’t. I lost my Romeo 7 months ago and I’m still gutted and cry everyday. I just take it one day at a time. That’s all we can do. I wish you peace at this very sad time.
I’m sending you comforting hugs 💔
