IT HAS BEEN 8 DAYS SINCE MY BABY CHARLIE DIED. TODAY I AM HAVING A ROUGH DAY, I CALLED TO SEE IF HE WAS BACK FROM THE CREAMATORY AND HE IS NOT. I JUST WANT HIM TO BE HOME. I HOPE EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING OK. I JUST CANNOT STOP CRYING, I KNOW THIS IS NORMAL I JUST WANT HIM BACK!!!!

I understand how you feel. We had our cat individually cremated also, and it seemed like forever before we got him back. It only took 6 days, but it seemed like forever. I know you want him back. That's all I could think of, the only thing that would give me comfort, was having him back home again.
I called the facility that my vet used, and they were so kind and helpful. They did not mind if I called once or twice a day or if I had any questions.
I needed to know when he arrived there, would they say a prayer over him before he was cremated, when he would be back.
Your Charlie was beautiful, and he will live in your heart and memories forever.
He will be back to you soon. In the mean time, I am sending you hugs and understanding over your loss.
