Woke up today feeling especially sad, then realized its an "anniversary" - four months.

Miss you so much Henry. Words cannot express your specialness or the void you leave, even if you were "just a cat". Love you always.

Hi, BabyHenry, thank you so much for sharing with us how you're doing, and your and your beloved Henry's 4 month "angel-versary." Especially during the first year of the grief adjustment journey we are very aware of the date and time our beloved companion transitioned home to the angels. And the sorrow can intensify particularly as the holidays approach, so please know that what you are experiencing and feeling is a very normal part of this grief adjustment journey.

I hope today is treating you kindly, BabyHenry, and that you will have a peaceful evening blessed with your beloved Henry's sweet Living Spirit to comfort you. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, and please let us know how you're doing.

Peace and blessings,

I found this beautiful poem and hopefully it provides some comfort
on these special but difficult days. Henry would not want you to be sad...
but happy in the memories you share. God bless!


I know that it must be different, now that I am no longer there.I realize how much I was loved and how all of you did care.I know it will be hard at first when you look around for me.Expecting to find me in my bed or beside my favorite tree.Someday you will begin to see although it'll take some time,the happy times you shared with me,the memories are yours and mine.I'll remember you, my friends, and how much you meant to me.So please don't grieve and don't be sad,it was just my time to leave.

Hi.

This poem breaks my heart. Just reminds me of how much I have lost. I hope some of you find comfort in it though.

Thanks.

Hi Baby Henry,

I'm so very sorry for the loss of your baby cat I can't even imagine how you must be feeling right now and I completely understand. it's going to be 5 months for me since I lost my baby girl calico kitty princess and I still can't accept that she is actually gone. It doesn't matter what type of animal it was what does matter is the special bond relationship that we had with them and how much this little fur babies become so much like our family. its totally impossible not to be hurting for them because they were actually our babies or whole world. if you don't mind me asking how did you loss you cat?

(Princess & Blanca's mommy)

It was sudden, we think he had a stroke or heart attack. On his last day, I was sick with a migraine and spent the whole day in bed with him cuddled in my armpit. (He always stayed with me when I was sick.). Most of the day was normal. At about 9 pm he suddenly looked kind of strange and was just not responding. I got my husband. We held him, trying to decide what to do, and he just died. It was awful.

I'm heartbroken. Henry was with me through some very difficult times in my life and he always loved me, stayed by me and put up with me. I loved him like I love my person friends, and even more because he was also kind of my cuddly baby.

I'm grateful that I spent the entire last day together with him -- that migraine was a gift in disguise. I don't think I would have been able to bear it if I came home from errands and just found him.

I know that he wouldn't want me to be so sad (he was always upset if I was upset) but I can't help it. My sister had a "best friend" cat called Mantha that she loved for 16 years, but who died about 5 years ago. She says she still cries about it. So, I guess I just have to learn to live with the sadness.

I miss him so much.
