Loss Of Daisy, Death of my cat Options

[Catherine1]

Yesterday morning we were wakened by a neighbour at 6am to tell us that our beloved wee cat Daisy had been ran over by a car and had been killed. My husband brought her home but wouldnt let me look at her. I have never felt grief like this before and I havnt stopped crying since it happened. She was with us for 8 years and I miss her terribly. I have an overwhelming feeling of guilt that I didnt get the chance to say goodbye to her or kiss her face and stroke her. We have buried her in the garden but everytime I look out I am crying again. Everything reminds me of her and I feel totally miserable. People have been understanding but I feel that maybe they will be thinking okay you ve had a cry, now pull yourself together and get on with it, but it really is so hard. I hope in time my guilt will fade and I will be able to talk and think about her without bursting into tears. Meanwhile if anyone has had a similar experience I would really love to hear from them to find out if it gets any easier.

Hello Catherine

Im so sorry about your cat. Please know we all understand how you feel, as we are all going through it or have been through it so you are not alone, i doubt u have read my posts but my dog Picasso died almost a year ago, on Sept 29th it will be a year. I think it gets easier as far as u dont think about it as much, or cry all the time, but as for my own experience i have not fully recovered from his loss, but i also dont think i will. Just take your time and dont let anyone make u feel silly for grieving for such a special animal

thinking of you
