Why Is This So Hard?, my heart hurts so much Options

[Amber]

hello everyone and thank you for understanding my need to be away for a few days. just when i thought my depression was letting up it hit me right in the face again. i needed to come back and talk, i know it will make me feel better. i was doing so well. i could talk about kitty all i wanted and i would remember all the great moments that we had together and then i started having dreams. i had 2 dreams that kitty came back from the grave and one that i failed to feed her and she starved to death. as i mentioned before, when i buried kitty i felt as if she wasn't dead, although i witnessed the plunger being pushed on the syringe at the vet. i know that she was so sick and i took away her pain by making that difficult decision and i thought i was ok with it but now i am hurting so much. i miss her so much - i miss holding her and petting her and her sweet meow. i feel like i'm losing my mind. i can still feel her in my arms. now when i think about her, i think about her lifeless body on the examining table at the vet or i see her when she was sick and couldn't eat or even walk. i don't want to remember my sweet kitty that way - i want to remember her before she lost all of the weight - when she was fat and playing with the water in the bathroom sink. i love her so much - i want her back. ah

hello everyone. i hope you are all doing well. i'm doing better, but who knows how long that will last. yesterday i was a little upset for a while. my boyfriend and i went out to eat and he asked me what i wanted to do afterward and i thought about it and decided that i wanted to go home. well, when i think of home i think of home with kitty waiting for me there. when i realized that that is no longer the home that i go home to i was upset again. i decided that i did not want to go home after all.
julie, lacy j is so cute! i'm so sorry that she is no longer with you. kidney failure is a wicked disease. so many people that i know with pets that have had kidney disease pull right through it. i just couldn't understand why it took my baby so quickly. it just snatched her right away from me. i understand your decision about not wanting to see your baby be euthanized-that image is a hard one to shake. my kitty was always afraid of the vet so i wanted to be sure that she knew i was there with her. please return and tell us all about lacy j. we would love to hear your story. thanks, ah
