It has been eight days since mama has been gone.
I really hope no pet parent has to undergo what I have been through.Getting a knock at my door,and someone holding Mama’s collar saying she got hit and killed…AND…having to go pick up her lifeless body and the bury her.I feel guilty about it.She would be 15 next April,and had dementia and was visually impaired.I hope she felt no pain.
I am trying so hard to get over her accident,but I can’t.I wake up looking for her.I have been telling her good night,and that I am so sorry she got hit.
I am having a hard time dealing with it.
When I had to put my senior Sheltie to sleep due to cancer,it was extremely hard on me because I adopted her when she was over a year and a half old.But with George,I raised her from a seven week old kitten.It was very hard on me when I had to put Bessie my Sheltie to sleep.She was my travelling companion,my sleeping companion,but most of all my best friend.
So see,I have a lot to deal with. -

Shawn, I am, we are, so happy to hear from you again. It’s been a few months and I am sure the holidays make you think of, and miss, Uno and Midnight. Do you have family and friends you can be with? Someone with pets you can love on? Shawn, do think you will welcome another pet into your home and heart? You know, you are always welcome to share more pictures and stories about Uno and Midnight with us – we love that, and maybe it will be good for you to revisit your times together with us. We understand how little things can trigger big feelings, how the seasons bring memories, and we are here for you. I’m sending you a {HUG}… -

I can see many, many, many…. pets (and maybe a few human little ones) scheming and preparing, like this too…….. I hope everyone shares holiday pics of their pets with us 🙂 -

Geri, when you love a lot, you lose a lot, too. Sometimes it seems to come in bunches. In a three year period I lost my father, husband, 19 year old cat, and my mother. It was like living in a cycle of grief. Now I am on edge about my 18 year old cat, but remind myself to enjoy our time together because no amount of my worrying will keep time from moving and life progressing. Just as we need to allow ourselves to enjoy, we need to grieve so we can heal, everyone in their own way and their own time. Thank you for sharing your stories, and sharing your sympathy and understanding with others. Toni -

THIS is why we created Faithful Friends – to share our stories and seek, and send, our support when facing or going through the most difficult times (and to celebrate our happy times). While we don’t like to part from our beloveds, we wouldn’t miss the loving, fun times we shared. And adopting an animal to provide a wonderful home is such a kind, generous thing to do, we keep doing it even after saying goodbye to others. I learn a lot from my pets – Live ’til you die. And if life becomes too challenging, we give them the grace of a peaceful passing. Love isn’t hard, love doesn’t go away when they do, it just hurts in a deep part of our soul. And one day, a memory will bring smiles and warmth to you, what our pets intended all along. Please continue to reach out to others here with YOUR stories, and support. Not just at this season, but always, be grateful for your time with your pets. We are grateful to have you be a part of our caring community. Tobi

Where do I begin? I am having a tough time dealing with my mama cat’s death.I have a range of mixed emotions going on.
But,if I had mama put to sleep,it may have been easier for me to deal with.. I don’t know.
I feel lost without her.Last year my mom died on April 4th.Then 12 days later my 14& 1/2 year old Sheltie passed away from cancer.
So everything I love,seems to be taken from me.
I don’t know -

Yes, this is so hard, Dianne. Even if you had looked for her, she was probably already gone. Oscar and Princess, like you, will be missing her. Seeing places she used to go will bring her to mind, and your sadness and pain will take time to heal. One day, you will find yourself smiling with her memory, but not just now. Share lots of love and sympathy with Oscar and Princess, and let them love you back. I am so sorry. -

Today is just a blah day.I woke up looking for mama.Oscar and Princess really miss her.He walks around meowing for her,looking in places she would hide.Princess notices her best friend is not here.They are mourning with me.I cannot get the image of mama out of my mind from having to pick up her body,kissing her face and telling her I am sorry that I didn’t look for her.I feel horrible because nobody knew how or when she got out.

@pugmom4 Hello Daphne, and welcome to our caring community. Please tell us about Annie Jo. By any chance was she a Pug? (I bought a sweatshirt with a cute pug on it yesterday!). We’d love to see some pictures of her, and hear about your lives together. How are you doing? Toni

I feel so lost without her.I have had George since she was a kitten.I am so used to her making biscuits on me at night,and her sharing my pillow with me.Even though she was not at her best,Sunday she came up and kissed my cheek while I was laying in bed.She has never done that before.
A piece of my heart went with her.
She was buried under my window by living room.I place three prickly pear cactuses on top with a solar light.I placed the solar light there so her spirit can find her way back to visit me.
My house isn’t the same anymore.
I do believe she wanted out of the house,so she could go home on her terms.
Even though she was coming down with memory issues and whatever,I still loved her to the moon and back.And she gave me unconditional love in return.I couldn’t have asked for such a wonderful cat.
I just hope she doesn’t hate me for not looking for her sooner.-
💔

I am beginning to accept the fact that George wanted to go out,because she was ready to go on her terms.And maybe she did.I am trying my best to cope.
