My Cat Was Killed Today Options

[hackneyslim]

I am sitting here, a grown man, with tears dropping onto my clothes, because the light has gone out of my life. My beautiful little cat, my own love for 11 years, my Chance, was killed by a stray dog in the street outside my house this morning. She was dead before I could get outside. I brought her inside and laid her on the couch, she spasmed a little, but she was already gone. I buried her in the woods across the road from my house a little while later.

This is the worst I have ever felt. My friends are being very kind, but I don't know how it'll be when I go out of my door again. I live alone, but I never felt lonely when my Chance was with me. Now I am understanding loneliness. It's very early, but I feel so bad. Not guilty, not angry, just sad. I don't think grieving is wrong, but I wasn't ready for this. My house is empty and still. It seems unfamiliar. I feel unbalanced, uncentred, I feel like a stranger in my own skin. I can imagine no comfort.

Thanks for reading this, and thanks to whoever for the site.

So sorry for your loss, I do know how you feel, we had to say goodbye to our baby boy Nipper (border collie) 10 days ago and although we are still feeling grief like never before, it is getting a little easier. At least I have my soul mate to help me through this experience, both Ralph my husband and I have been to hell and back and can now find comfort in this website, where we read every day other strories of heartache. Maybe one day we will get another dog but at the moment we cannot even think about it. I know that there are many animals out there who would appreciate your love and maybe that is what you need too, being on your own. Never feel that you do not have anyone to talk to, as we are all here ready to listen and sympathize with you. I hope that you begin to heal as we have .
