That is amazing :) ... I am so glad that you had that experience :) .. I just have to sit there and imagine it happening to me, in your case you actually dreamed it :) ... I realize not everyone on the forum might be religious or believe in the Christian or Muslim view of the afterlife which...
Oh man.. Rhall I know what you mean (you too tik cat's mum I'm so sorry that happened to you too ) ... our own almost made it to two years old before being taken from us in a particularly horrible fashion (predator after going missing for two days) ... and you think to yourself " Why? Why...
I am so sorry :( .. my clumsy words won't be nearly as comforting as the (far better expressed than I ever could) other posts on here but... that guilt when your fur-child dies , like the others are saying it's natural, I felt it myself when our little Pebble got eaten (not a fun experience at...
On the one hand I'm so glad that she got to spend 19 years with you.. truthfully I envy you :) .. but on the other hand nineteen years makes it all the more painful because that's 19 years of memories with her so I know that has to be painful too :( ... my heart goes out to you.
I'm so sorry :( .. as usual di and bob's amazing post above :) summed it up better than my poor words ever could (but of course everyone else posting here is awesome too don't get me wrong ! ) ... it sucks, it sucks SO bad when the feline member of your family passes away it really breaks...
Thank you so much Wily1 that really helps a lot , truly it does :) ... Halloween is pretty depressing for me right now since our little guy Pebble was rescued off the streets (found him there crying lost and alone) as a one month old by us October 26th, 2018... but the emotional pain is slowly...
Gareth just wanted to say thank you so very, very much for posting this and "when the moment comes" ... they both helped me more than you can possibly know.
also.. sorry forgot to say this in the earlier post.. and apologies if you've already done this but... I was wondering if you'd had a chance to read the threads/links in the "thoughts for grieving cat lovers" sticky in this part of the forum? I found all the stuff linked in there to be...
I'm really sorry :( .... both kitties and your brother all close together? I can only imagine the pain you must be going through :( ... they're both really cute little guys I love the pictures :) .. I wish I could say something smart and eloquent like the others have here but.... going through...
Waddle thank you so much :) ... comments like this really help when I'm struggling with the guilt and cowardice on my part as far as just leaving him out there ... so thank you I truly appreciate that :) ... I spent a fair amount of time in Minnesota myself :) (born there, lived there until 5...
And of course di and bob clinging on to what you said here as well (that's the other branch I'm hanging onto with all four cat limbs :) ) ... thank you so much for this :) .. apologies for the "delayed post" here, I should have posted this immediately after what I said about kissthisangel's...
And cripes I'm really making a jerk of myself aren't I ? We've ALL " been there too " , it doesn't matter if the beloved cat member of our family was ripped suddenly from us by violence (whether predator or car) or we had to summon the courage to put down our beloved cat member of the family...
And cripes betsygee I'm so wrapped up in my own pain I'm not stopping to think about others and what they're going through... I'm so sorry to hear about that , that's so sad... you have the other kitties' memorial stones sitting there, you have to add another one now and your husband is hurting...
Thanks so much betsygee and kissthisangel :) .. but my apologies I probably didn't explain it properly ... I know for a fact I won't even be able to bring myself to go see his remains let alone collect what's left and bring it home for a burial... seeing the half of him that's left and then...
Well a little update in case this helps anyone who's in a similar situation (though I understand it might be kind of a rare one) ...where you have the collar but there's the odor of ... gosh this is still hard to say... the odor of death from your beloved feline's decaying body on the collar.. I...
In my humble opinion that's a beautiful post di and bob ... and also in my humble opinion you guys just freaking rock, all the time and effort you put into comforting so many people here on the forum I can see that from all your posts - and they are BEAUTIFUL posts, full of love, empathy and...
Thanks Mamanyt1953 I really appreciate you saying that :) .... to be honest I do feel like I have to explain it "just in case" every time I mention it due to all the negative portrayals of Islam like you said ....but it's true I can already tell the people here are intelligent, thoughtful and...
Hi there.. brand new to the forum so I can definitely say I will not speak with the experience or wisdom of everyone else posting here :) so you're going to hear me continuously say " for what it's worth" as a shorthand for "for what my ignorant opinion is worth" :) .. but for what it's worth...
