Just Lost My Cat..., My 19 year old cat was hit by a car Options

[cfholden]

Our much cherished 19 year old Chris Craft the cat didn't come home last Saturday night, or Sunday morning. My husband went looking for him and found him, apparently having been hit by a car, and left in a dumpster. My husband came home screaming, and in shock. He won't describe to me exactly what he saw. But says it was bad. We both can't stop the crying and I've never felt such pain. I've watched both my parents die before my eyes, but this feels worse. I had time to prepare for my parents (years actually) .and although I cried for them, this pain is different. More intense, and the emptiness in our home without our cat is unbelievable. I don't want to go home. I feel such pain for my husband who had to find him. I keep reliving the moment he came home screaming and crying, and then I break into tears.
I will miss my little guy so much. Sunday was the worst day of my life.

You are in the darkest hours. The only relief seems to be to cry and you can always come here and share your feelings; it does help to write down how you are feeling and one time is not enough. You will get responses from many wonderful people here who have shared the pain of losing a loved and cherished one. You had yours for 19 years.......I had my last one for 16 years. It was the longest I had an animal stay well. The longer they are with you the more of an imprint there is on your soul as there are memories for each year added to the year before and so on. And yet there is also a lot of pain when one only had a loved one a short time cause it only takes a short time to become a part of your heart.

The grief is overwhelming...so you must try to find some type of outlet to unburden yourself. What you have now is the freshest and clearest memory of something horribly painful for you. Scream out loud, cry as long as you need, and really try to come here and post and let your feelings stream out of you into the written words.

It is a start back to the light.........Take Care and know there are ones here who understand the pain. If you read some of the other posts..you will see others have gone through very painful experiences also. That's why they will reach out to you and try to help you start a healing process. It takes time...it really does. But there is help here when you need it.
