Can't Stop Crying, grief Options

[tigersab]

My baby kitten Jet died overnight and I just can't stop crying. I only had her for 11 weeks and she was really sick for the past 2. She was born with a congenital abnormality that caused her ribs to grow wrong, they were smashing her lungs so she struggled to breathe most of her very short life. At one point she did try to run and play with her brother but it was just too much effort for her most of the time. She would just sit back and watch him play. But boy what a loud purr for such a tiny girl! I took her to the vet and was told they could do surgery but it would be expensive. We decided to try it but she never really recovered. She fought for 2 weeks but her tiny body finally gave out this morning. I'm so angry and also feeling guilty about even putting her through the surgery that didn't even help a bit. I feel so selfish for doing that to her, I should have let her go, I know now. I guess I just need to talk about her, get it out. Thanks for providing a place for me to vent!!
I miss her so terribly.

I am so sorry you lost your kitty. In her short life span you were a god send to her. You tried everything humanly possible to save her. It is so hard when we lose our fur children no matter what age they are. When they are such little babies it's so hard to understand why they were taken so young. Your little girl is now free from any pain that her body caused her and she is playing and running free in her new life.
