Getting Over the Loss of Pets.....

[sammigold]

I am so sorry to hear about your loss.

It is so hard to say goodbye to a loved one... When I lost my beloved baby dog to cancer 4 years ago, I was devasted... she was 12 years old and had been my constant companion for that time... it was the most pain and grief I have ever felt... over time I was able to think about her with a smile and eventually I wrote a song dedicated to her memory and the little man (new puppy) who joined our house a few weeks later...

Give yourself some grieving time and please do get yourself another baby kitten to love.... there are too many cats out there that need loving homes... it would be a pity if the love you obviously have for kittys was not lavished onto a new needy heart... A new kitten or cat will never replace your babygirl, but it will go a long way towards mending your heart...and putting a smile back into your step.

I'm sorry to hear this Lisa. Time heals, that's all I can offer you right now. We lost our cat 5 months ago, and we said that we wouldn't get another. A couple months later a little kitten with 1 eye was sent our way, so we adopted him. Haven't regretted it at all. So it may take some time, but it will get easier for you.

Lisa-I just wanted to say I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have a friend-her brother-in-law did the same thing and it is so sad. I hope with every day, it is getting easier. And I also agree with whoever said the only "real" way to get over a pet (or make it easier) is to get a new one. That is why when our dog started to get older, we got another one so it would make the transistion easier.

Thanks Michelle! We had just gotten back from vacation the day before. I worried the whole time about her getting run over while we were gone. We run a construction company so there is heavy machinery around constantly.
I keep thinking maybe she thought I was leaving her again so she was chasing after me.

I know you are exactly right in what you say. I'm sure I will someday. I only had her a little over a year, I couldn't imagine what you must have felt after losing your dog after 12 years. How saddening.



Thanks for your kindness everyone!!
