I lost my kitty Jasmine in an accident almost 3 weeks ago. All day today I kept having to ask myself, "did it really happen?" "is she really gone?" Then I play in my mind over and over how it could have been prevented and I get to the point where I almost believe I can go back and fix things and she will be safe. I don't believe I'm in denial, because I've been deeply grieving for her. It's just that I keep thinking I'm going to see her come into the room. Or that I'll look down and there she will be. She was more of a dog than a cat. Always underfoot and wanting to see what you're doing. Open a closet and she's in it. Or a cupboard door or whatever. I miss her so much. I will explain what happened some other time, it's too painful to get into now. thanks for listening to my rambling...

My heart goes out to you, I recently lost my dogs (one was put down today and the other in April). I know that feeling well "Is this real?" Take your time we are here to help.

Beth, I know exactly what you mean. I have gone through awful horrific moments wondering if it happened at all and wondering if perhaps I am going to wake up. I have even gone through the agonies of the damned wondering if Ryd was actually dead when we buried her on Tuesday, even though she hadn't moved at all since Monday evening. I keep wanting to tear up the earth to make sure. I know what you are going through, but the sad truth for all of us is that yes, our little furries are gone, at least in this earthly realm, but all the things that made Jasmine so special and unique (and the same for my little Ryddley) are still in existence in another plane. I am working out for myself what that plane is, but I believe it exists. So sorry it is so painful for you. It is for me, too. Let's hope that they are looking down on us right now and giving us a gentle nudge with a paw.
Hugs

I totally understand what you are experience right now. My sweet Boscoe will be gone now for 2 months on June 15. Sometimes it just doesn't seem real. Until I look around and he just isn't there. I am so sorry for your loss. They say that time heals all wounds, but i don't think it ever really takes away the pain of the emptiness that you feel wondering if it will ever really be alright again. God Bless you in your time of sorrow. Tina

I can't thank you all enough for your support and understanding.

Today was exactly 3 weeks. Jaz is constantly on my mind and all day I longed to touch her, stroke her soft fur, hear her loud purr. I miss her.

My other kitties seem to be better. Her brother has been very depressed. But he looked better today...

Dear Beth,

I know exactly what you're going through. I, too, lost my kitty, Hobbie, 3 weeks ago today. I know she's gone, but I still can't believe it. I keep thinking this has all been a bad dream and that I'm going to wake up and find Hobbie at the foot of my bed licking my toes like she used to. I know you must miss Jasmine, because I know I sure miss my little Hobbie Lobbie.

I'm so sorry for your loss of Jasmine.
Hugs,
Kathleen
