I had a beautiful tortoiseshell manx cat that died all of a sudden. Only had her for two years but dealing with her being gone is so hard. Technically she was my daughters cat, but I took care of her and her brothers and sisters. She got out the other day and got hit by a car and I've been lost ever since. She was the sweetest cat. Always wanted cuddle time and she didn't meow, she did this weird beep beep cry when she meowed. I'm truly going to miss that sound. Called her bear because she look like a baby cub when she was kitten. She even would stand up on her hind legs and shake off like a bear too. We would play hide n seek and chase each other. I'm going to miss all those things. I caught myself calling her yesterday morning for breakfast. Will be glad when it doesn't hurt so much anymore. I can't even stand looking at videos of her or pictures of her on my phone right now.

Oh, no, what an awful accident. It is so tough at the beginning--I know how hard it is to get used to them being gone. I'm very sorry.

RIP, little Bear.
Thank you. I know in time things will get easier. It's just really hard to imagine that at this moment.

Know that the mere change in form doesn't change the love or the connection between you and Bear. She is with you now and forever. In the quiet moments you will sense her near you, feel her brush against your leg, or jump on your bed. She watches over her siblings, you and your daughter. The bond of love from one heart to another never breaks, never ends, it is the stuff of eternity.

What a tragic way to lose a friend. Of course it is a shock for you now.
It was the same for me what I lost my kitty the same way 20 years ago. She was just 6 months old.

You will carry those wonderful memories with you forever, just like Bear will carry you in her heart forever.

Be strong, your daughters need your support in this terrible moment.

RIP Bear, you will be missed.

Our hearts don't understand why the one we love is missing, the yearning to go back, to change things, is overwhelming and distressing to our soul. Time is the only thing that helps to soften the sharp edges of grief. In the beginning it is a tsunami of emotions and tears that take over your life, but eventually they will subside and you learn to live with the pain of a broken heart.
Time will bring the understanding that what is in the past will stay there. That though that precious little girl is not in your present, she will forever be as close as your thoughts and prayers. She is a good part of your past, you were blessed to have known her and to have shared your life's journey for a little while. That she herself would not want you to be so sad, she loved life so much she only wants the same for you. Just as you would want for her if you were the first to go. That is because love is spiritual, so eternal. "Death cannot take that which never dies" and you know that your love for her will be forever.
Try not to dwell on her end, I know right now that is impossible, but to do so makes it more important then her life. That can never be. Remember all the wonderful things she did to brighten your day, and write them down. So you never forget what a precious little soul she was in the coming years. The little things tend to be pushed aside when new memories compete for their space.
My heart cries for your pain, I know what it is like to lose a companion and family memeber. I'll keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Take care....RIP precious Bear. you will never be forgotten, you will always have a secure place in a loving heart. May the good Lord bless and keep you, until you meet again!

Once upon a time the Wind was a Lady travelling from one Forest to another and helping furry creatures to get rude of fleas and spiny branches. All Creatures loved the Wind Lady, for She was so nice to everybody. But the most affectionate creature was the Puzzle Cat.

The Puzzle Cat waved her tail whenever Wind Lady was back to her Forest and even learnt to hiss like the wind, to please Wind Lady.

One day, the Wind Lady forgot Her bag somewhere and She was no longer able to care the furry creatures, because that bag was where she took the Book of Wisdom, teaching the language of animals , explaining the Way of Love and having the power to carry the Wind Lady as fast as the Sunlight from one Forest to another.

The Puzzle Cat (we call her Puzzle because of colored patched fur) offered to travel, find the Bag and send it to the Wind Lady. And so she did. But it took so many years to get to the place where Wind Lady forgot the bag, walking on her little paws over the Forests and the Hills, than once she found the Bag she was so old than couldnt make the way back.

The Wise Man, who knew very well both the Cat and the Lady (of course He knows every single Creature on Earth and above) brought the Bag back to the Windy Lady.

But because He knew the Path of Love, he put it in the bag the Soul of the Puzzle Cat, for being with the Wind Lady for ever and ever and to turn into a breath of warm air that fans out Her hair, for Her to remember.

Tears here.

my condolences that little bear is gone :( Its very sad to hear she died tragically and she was very young too. I am sorry that your heart is broken you must have loved bear deeply. It is sad how life can bring the most beautiful fur kittens in our world and suddenly it is to be taken away unexpectedly, without a reason. Take time to grieve. I was the same with the videos and photos, i was ok with it on my phone when i was watching the videos and photos, so i created 2 photos and framed them and put them on the wall. When i put the framed photos of my two cats on the wall i couldn't look at them, i think its because it finalized that all i have left is photos now on the wall, the phone and in videos, and that they are not here with me physically and i also have guilt of putting them down, even though i know there was no other way of helping them and i think its also the denial that they are gone. You should not blame yourself because bear was in a car accident and that he got let out accidentally.

Life is like a long movie clip with chapters where ones actions and decisions changes the story, and sometimes in life , actions and decisions which are accidental and unintentional can alter the story. But also this movie clip where no matter what action or decision you make will not alter the fact that the characters in your story, their life will be cut short and you remain to carry on without them.

Rest you gentle, Bear, dream you deep. You walk in someone's heart forever.

The length of the knowing makes so little difference, it is the depth of the knowing. And Bear had carved a place for herself deep in your heart. Although her physical presence is no longer with you, and I know how painful that is, her Love for you still lives in that place she carved, and always will.
