Goodbye Spunky Girl Options

About 2 1/2 hours ago, I took my cat Spunky to the vet. She passed away today, unfortunately, while I was out.
I feel horrible about her being alone when she died. I am so sorry about that.
As I cried, I kept saying to her that I was sorry that she was alone.
She is now with her sister, who we lost a year ago last November.
We have no cats in the house now.
I left the towel and the clothes basket that I took her to the vet in, at the vet. I coudn't bring them home.
I have all of her stuff around the house and I don't want to move it.
I can't look at the spot where I found her without breaking down.
I feel so bad about her being alone.

Spunky, baby, Mommy is so sorry that you died alone. Love you sweetie.


Thanks for listening.

Dear Janice

I understand how you feel my Tillie also died at the vets alone without us there. But it has been 8 weeks now and I think I have finally come to understand why. For me this dog was so very special and well maybe I am weak but I could not have tolerated the site of her after she passed or had been strong enough to make a very diffucult decission to put her down. You see she was not that old 11 yrs it all happened very fast and well maybe she knew in her heart that I could not have done that so she chose to go in the way she did and maybe Spunky did too to spare us. Please try to find a place of peace with it I know it is hard and I still slip into the guilt of it at times but have to be thankful of the healthy memories I see.

It is such a hard thing to go through I am so sorry for your loss I know there are just no words right now to help but they say it does get eaiser I have my better days now then again some not so good days. I guess the people here are great animal lovers and we will go through loss many times in our lives I dread it I have a collie who is 15 now so ..... I know again I will be hit soon but I would not trade a day of my furbabies lives and joy to avoid this pain.
