And i hate the fact he got knocked over that he was in such pain and felt alone. i fell so lonely I love you V

Jjay- I am so sorry for your loss. You have come to the right place and it's sad that you had to come here. Your furbaby is at Rainbow Bridge with all the other pets that are there. He's not hurting anymore, he's healthy, running and playing with all the new friends he has made. You and he will see each other again and he's waiting for you for however long it takes and missing you as much as you are him. He loves you just as you love him! All of us here have been through what you are going through and it is very hard......the pain, the grief, as well as the guilt. I went through an awful time when my 17 year old furkitty-Fuzzball-passed in June. I still have a rough time at times and I miss him so much. I love him so very much! I know he's at Rainbow Bridge healthy, happy, running and having a good time with his new friends.
There are a lot of wonderful people here that are caring, helpful, and comforting. I am glad I came here and I hope you will continue to come back here.

Once again, I am so sorry for your loss.

Jjay,

I am so sorry about your huge loss! There is nothing like the heartbreak that comes when you lose a fur-child. Victor was the center of your life.

Victor is in no pain--physical or emotional. He's fine. The hard part is for you, because your soul is still living in your physical body, and you're experiencing this painful grief that humans go through.

Try not to think about his actual death. Just know that before he was hit, he was running and playing.... and immediately afterwards, he was doing the same! He is fine, and in a realm where there's no time or space (so he really is right there with you, and when it is your time to join him as a spirit, it will be like no time has passed. You'll be fully reunited. The bond of love is never broken, even if you don't have Victor's familiar physical presence with you.

As the others said, keep writing and letting us know how you're doing.

You and your family are in my prayers.

-Kathy

Victor looks just like my Edgar. Edgar was 8 when he died - and that is also very young for a cat to pass away.

I am so sorry you lost your friend - but remember that you WILL see him again - in your memories and your dreams. And someday far from now you will be able to meet him in person.

I will light a candle for him and ask my two fuzzy fur-angels to greet him and take care of him until you and I get there ok?

thankyou so much for youre support.
ive kept alot of his things in my room now a lil scarf which wa son a teddy taht he carried around with him sometimes his first collar a ball we bought him a toy he first had and his first xmas present. today i walked in and i was like weres victor? but sometimes i fell like he is watching me or soemthing..

Hi Jaymie:

When our furbabies go to Rainbow's Bridge in Heaven,
they are never far from our hearts.....

You said that you feel like Victor was watching you or something...??

I'm sure that he was, you know???
Because Victor is not here with you in his "physical body"....(that you can see, feel, touch, etc....)

HE IS WITH YOU IN SPIRIT......

He is never ever far away from you my friend......
He'll always be right on your shoulder, with you at all times....

Love, Denise

thankyou denise, I got youre pm i replied to you.
I well always love him.

I am very sorry for your loss. It is so hard to lose a fur-friend and it is ever tougher when it is unexpected. Please accept my condolences.

I am sorry for your loss as well. I know how much you will miss him. I miss my furbaby very much. Please take one day at a time and keep all those little things of Victors to remind you of the good times you had with him. A long time ago I had to give my cat up. I never knew what happened to him but I had no choice. I still think of him. I lost my dog back in May and that was my best friend. He had the prettiest brown eyes that just showed you what he was thinking. It will get better just let yourself mourn your loss. Don't try to put it off because it comes back to haunt you like it has for me. Your furbaby is adorable and I am sorry you didn't have more time together but now he is just waiting for you at rainbow bridge. And maybe my Indy has introduced himself and they are comforting each other until we see them again.
Take care of yourself, ChrissyW

Yeah its so hard- i just want to give him a big hug and tell him how much i love him and well always.
sorry i cnat right that much at the moment im felling upset.
Jay

Oh Jjay - I'm so sorry you lost your baby Victor. It is so hard, and such a shock. My Arnold died just over 3 weeks ago and the pain does get a little lighter over time. I still cry at odd times, and I kiss his picture every night when I go to bed. He is buried out in my garden and I go out and talk to him sometimes; but mostly now, I just talk to him in my head - things like, "It's a great day today, Arnold. You'd love it!" I think he knows. It is tough right now, I know. I don't think I stopped crying for a week! Keep coming back here - this site helped me sooo much. Lots of love and understanding here.

yeh victors in my garden and i tend to talk more to a pciture of him il sit at my desk and tell him i want you here baby and i love you etc.
On friday i cried form 5.30am til i went to bed my eyes went so red underneth and puffy i looked so ill and i felt sick that entire day, if i think about it my heart fells so lonel and i have a sick felling, and i do still cry but im trying not to cry so much because if victor can see me he would be confused that im crying cos he can still see me! but i do go very quiet and sit by myself and bury my head and i sumtimes go sit were he used to go alot!

Hi again Jaymie
I wrote to you on the other board but I saw your post today about being so sad. Our culture tends to think we should all be right as rain in a hurry but as you know that is not how it goes. What is more likely is that you will experience alot of sadness! This is plenty normal because of how much you love Victor. I wonder if you can write up a poem or do a sculpture or something to honor your special friendship. Sometimes things like that can go a long way toward healing. Whatever your talent is (and everyone has talent) try to apply your feelings for Victor and do it. Even if it is something like sports (today I take this swim in honor of my friend Victor!) --you see what I am getting at, it helps to think in positive ways as the other posters have advised. Your Victor made a positive contribution to you--if you plant a flower or whatever personal thing you like you can re-pay his "favor".
I am thinking of you!
Love,
Patti
P.S. I certainly know about that crying thing, but has been stated here many times, go ahead and cry the healing tears.
