Getting Over the Loss of Pets.....

Lisa1769 · #1 09-09-2006, 08:34 PM

I'm so sad. It happened yesterday morning when I was leaving for work. I loved all over my kitty cat, told her goodbye, got in my vehicle, was backing out of the drive and she ran right under it. It was horrible! She went quickly, no suffering. But, I cannot get the visual out of my head. I keep asking myself why, why, why did she do that? Why didn't I just leave her inside that morning? I miss her so much!! I can't believe she's gone. She brought me sooo much laughter and joy. When will this get easier?

Mama misses ya babygirl!!

Oh, that's so awful- you poor thing! It takes time- the only way *I* have ever gotten over the loss of a pet is to get a new one. But you need to give yourself a little time first. I am so sorry!

OH my gosh..I am so sorry - I can't even imagine what you must be feeling. A former co-worker of mine had a very unfortunate accident recently which ended in the loss of her cat - she was crushed and then inevitably blamed herself - but these things happen, sad as it is, and it's no one's fault.

I'm really really sorry - hang in there

Iam so sorry for the loss of your family member. Pets are like family really.

Oh my, that's heartbreaking. I am so sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry Lisa. I know your heart must be broken.

it will get better...just takes time. I had a dog many, many years ago that used to go out and use the bathroom and come back and then one day she just never came back. we cried for days on end, searched streets, gutters, ditches, everything and never found her. to this day I still tear up. I wish I had some words to help. you'll never be fully mended, but you learn to remember the laughter and joy and not the sorrow you feel now.

My deepest sympathies to you.

Oh, sweet kitty.
I am so sorry! At least she was a loved kitty. How old was she?

My deepest condolences on your lost. There is nothing anyone can say or do.... it will just take some time.
I lost one of my kitties this summer to the inevitable kidney failure. I am thankful I got to be with her as she passed. Her sister is still with me... and spoiled rotten, don't ya know.

May you find peace and blessings thru this time.

Oh how awful. So sorry to hear about your loss.

the same thing happened to my kitty only it was my friend who ran him over as she was leaving my house. Nothing really helps, only time passing will ease the pain. What I did was make a scrapbook of his life and I wrote him a goodbye poem.

also, please go to
www.petloss.com
for support. there is another site you may find useful, http://rainbowsbridge.com/Poem.htm
the poem is especially important for fresh loss...

that's really sad.

it's hard when other people bring harm to pets - when i was little, we had this horrible neighbor who hated our cat, and he smacked the cat in the head with a shovel, shattering his jaw. luckily he recovered, but it breaks my heart to think about it.

Mary, I haven't visited the site yet. Thanks for the link. I will check it out later though!! Thanks!

Thank you Carrie!

Thank you Pip!

PsychCat---Sorry to hear about you loss as well. Keep on spoiling the other one.

Thank you Homer. Hope Cash is doing well!
