Rebecca discusses the loss of her beloved cat

[RebeccaBlack1]

I am so sorry! I feel for you. Please don't think you could have done any more or anything any better. We normally feel this way when a loved one is ill or dying. But, it happens no matter what we do. If you need to talk, please do.

My cat is sick. I'm so depressed.. I regret so much. I wish I had spent more time with her. I feel like shit.

Three months ago a beautiful and hungry turkish angora cat came suddenly into my life one very cold morning. I love him very much. He comforts me and he is helping me so much to deal with my dog's loss and to heal.

I am really sorry for your loss and for valledesma's loss.

I'm so glad you found your kitty and that she is a comfort to you. Actually, as it was in your case, it seems that they find us. And, we are the better for it. It does help with the hurt. But, that hurt never completely seems to disappear. My Alexandria's birthday is in a few days and I know I'll cry thinking about her. I'm just glad that we can share with those who understand that "animals" can be and are family members.

Five months ago I lost my four legged 15 year old "baby". His name was Drawin. He was always sneaking around and he always had time for kisses and cuddling. He taught me so many things. I was, I am devastated by his death. I was feeling alone and like something had died inside of me. People around me were telling me that I was overreacting. After all IT was JUST a dog. I strongly felt differently about that. HE was my friend, my companion with whom I felt absolute security.

I'm so very sorry about your loss. And, thank you for your words of comfort. Hopefully Vallendesma is finding some comfort. My heart hurts for both of you.

my "son" died last night. Hit and Run.He came to us as a kitten 5 years ago. He knocked on our door and made it known that he was here to stay. I can't take it. He meant the WHOLE WORLD to me and my husband. He was our child. I could never go to bed without him snuggling in between us. I don't know how to cope. How do you cope with the loss of a "child"?

[RebeccaBlack1]

Oh Valledesma, I am so sorry! I feel for you and your husband. I completely understand how you feel. Alexandria was our little girl as well. It has been 2 years and I still miss her so very much. I guess the only way we can get through this, if there is such a thing, is to try to do good, try to help other little four legged family members. Other than that, please talk about it. It helped me to write and share. I hope it helps you too. You can email me if you'd like.
