I am so very sad. I am missing my pal so much. He passed away on April 20,2004. I am aching for him so much. every thing I do , every room I go into and I cannot find him. If there was away to go back in time, I would love to so that I could see my pal once again. Gee it hurts to say good bye.

I feel your saddness as I too have lost my beloved pet, Courtney this month = just know that you are not alone - and that there are people that share your sorrow now! We all know the pain will lessen but never truly go away = but, deep down we know that the energy and love we have to give should go on and be given to another animal in need - I had my Aby for 16 1/2 years and only two weeks ago had to put her to sleep. I know I did the right thing but I was and still am filled with grief and guilt. The more I read over the internet the more I understand that what I am feeling and what you are feeling is normal and should be felt in some way when you truly love!
You are not alone!

Yes, it hurts... I know. I lost my sweet Little Girl on March 24. Each day gets a little easier---but I miss her so so much.

I am very sorry too, for your loss......
It hurts, and it stinks!!!!!
But, please know that your baby is without pain, and is over Rainbow's Bridge with all of our other kids who have gone
on before.
Over there, THERE IS NOOOOO PAIN OR SUFFERING...... Just playing & happiness.....
Waiting until such time that we pass over to claim our babies and go into eternity together.....
But, your boy wants you to have a full, beautiful life...... He is fine....Please believe that!!!! Okay???
And, like Kathy said, please keep coming here.....it helps MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW IN THE HEALING PROCESS.
I didn't know what I'd do after our girl Ernestine was put to sleep on 2/7/2004.....I was up in the early AM of 2/8/2004,
searching....trying to find something.....
AND, HERE LIGHTNING STRIKES WAS.......
THANK YOU GOD!!!!!!!
In 2 & 3/4 months.....(almost), I can't believe I have COME THIS FAR......
Yes, I miss my beautiful girl..... But, I know she would want me to be happy....
She was the first one to come near me even if 1/2 tear was in my eye; for whatever reason........Ernie-Bird really hated it when I was sad....... She hated it!!!!!!! It was like, "Mom, what's wrong???? I'm here.....", and she'd lay her pretty head down on my head or shoulder......
There's NO AMOUNT OF MONEY IN THE WORLD THAT COULD BUY THAT KIND OF COMFORT......NONE!!!!!!
One of the first things that I experienced too, is that "I kept looking for my girl & I couldn't find her....."
I was panicking.....And, then I'd remember.....OH, yeah, right"........
But, your boy wants you to be happy for HE IS HAPPY NOW..... He doesn't want you to be sad...
You two will be reunited again.....
Just really, do as Kathy suggested.....I found a lot of HEALING in reading everyone's posts from beginning to the
most recent.........Just to see the journey that "grief" took....
Everyone's journey is different; but, it is a journey, for sure....
God Bless You,
You're in my thoughts,
Love, Denise

Elsabet,
I understand totally and completely how you are feeling, as I am so lost without my furry face Kirstie. I lost her on Monday, April 26, 2004. I feel like half my soul has been taken from me b/c everything I did, thought and lived seemed to somehow be connected to my little girl. I had her for 16 years, longer and more constant than anything in my life thus far. The pain feels like a hole in my gut, but as I've said and has been said to me, what a gift to have loved and been loved so unconditionally. The sadness will never go away, but the loss will lessen with time...I'm told.
We will heal together, knowing what our best friends meant to us like no other may know. Know that we understand and the pain and grief is real. It is also healing and strengthening to our souls.
Keep busy, but allow yourself to cry if you need to cry. I cry every day, but I know this will subside and lessen too.
Be kind to yourself, we are here for you too.

So sorry for your loss. It hurts, doesn't it? I had to have my cat Kitt put to sleep in Feb and there isn't a day that goes by that something reminds me of her and I miss her. I have two new furries, not to take her place, no one can ever do that, but to help fill the hole in my heart. And you've come to the right place to share your grief. The people have helped me very much and have made me feel less guilty about getting two cats so soon after Kitt's death. (Three days.) My thoughts are with you.
