All I do is cry,,,,,any advice. It hurts so BAD!

Hello,
I saw this when I was doing my club run down.
This is what happened when I 'lost' one of my Aussies. Everyone grieves differently. This is the only time I went 2 years with out a dog by my side. To help me with the grieving process I made up a web page for her. Put pictures and a poem, this helped me quite a bit. Just talking about her.
Wish you all the best,
MCM

terri...I'm so sorry! I saw your post in Cat Chat and replied there. (bluedaisy)
I know how you feel, all too well! It hurts and it hurts for a long time, maybe forever! But it does get easier with time.
I wish I could give you a real hug, but I guess this will have to do (((((hug))))).
MCM - that's a good idea. After a while remembering makes you smile, and smiling is good even if you're crying while you're smiling!

I just hope I made the right decision putting her to sleep. It happened so fast. But I knew I could not let her suffer the minute the doctor said the blue/black color to the back leg was a blood clot from the heart. Apparently she was in the advanced stage of heart disease. Never saw a symptom, I have read cats are a master of disguise when it comes to pain.
Thanks for the support!

This is true love, you thought of your kitty instead of yourself.
As a little girl we had a Berlin Shepard (long haired German Shepherd). I went in with my mother as we put her to sleep. She had a growth inside her tendon on one paw. She could not walk, she was old. She was getting very fat. She was just miserable. Doc said the German Shepherds get such things.
I would not let my mother put her down when my mother first brought it up. I was a child and was thinking only of how much I would miss her. Not of her.
You did good.

My sympathy is with you and all those of you who lost loved pets. I lost Elsie in February and still get teary thinking about her. Oldz, thanks so much for posting the location of the Rainbow Bridge poem. I lost it when I changed computers. Now I need another box of kleenex.

Oh, I'm so sorry for you - I truly am. My husband and I had to put our beloved Peppi (15 1/2 yrs. old) to sleep the last day of Winter in 2001. It was truly the hardest thing we've EVER had to do. And of course we were 'never going to get another doggie' - well, by summer we were speaking 'those' words ever so gingerly, I think just to feel each other out...and then of course, 9/11 came and by the middle of Sept. we had found our beloved Pebbles! She is the sweetest little Chihuahua ever
! What I want you to take away from this is: IT WILL GET BETTER. You have to believe that. It took me over a month to be able to go into the bedroom (where Peppi lay on the bed his last few weeks) and not cry. But once again, IT WILL GET BETTER!. My thoughts are with you! YOU HAVE A FRIEND!

Hi Terri... I can't tell you how sorry I am! I know how hard it is to lose a pet, especially one that has been with you for a long time. During my 76 year life I've lost a few, and I can tell you that it doesn't get any easier; the pain is always the same. Our little boy (club picture) has been my companion for 7 years and I can't imagine being without him. But life goes on, and we somehow manage. You'll never forget Fluffy, I'm sure, but I hope you will find ways to accept this and find another outlet for your affection and care.

Hi, I read your posting about your precious cat 'Fluffy' and would like to share a moment of comfort with you! A few years ago I lost my beloved Golden Retriever 'Winston'. I am into the spiritual philosophy, and have seen and sensed 'spirit' from the age of 3 ! I can categorically tell you that 'death CANNOT sever LOVE', and please don't feel guilty because 'Fluffy' would be thanking you for the ultimate act of love you made in setting her free from pain. Like us, she too would have wanted quality and not quantity! By the way, I 'SAW' my Winston CLEARLY weeks after his passing.(They come to reassure us) They too go to the Spirit World, whole and healthy,and are well cared for, until you are reunited one day. Believe me, You WILL be reunited one day, when you too have shed your mortal coil! Remember friend:

I am so sorry for your heartache. I have 4 cats and the pain of losing any of them would be unbearable. 6 yrs. ago my much loved Holland Lop bunny named Bugs died in my arms. Talking about him still causes me to get emotional all these years later. While time does heal in that you will not be crying all the time from my experience the sadness will never completely go away.

I am so so sorry about you losing your cat. I have three dogs and couldn't imagine life without them. I suggest you get another pet. Of course I know Fluffy can never be replaced, but you will develop a new and different love for another pet, and I think having another pet would ease the pain of your broken heart. I wish you peace and I will pray for you. May God bless you richly, and give you that peace beyond understanding.
