I Lost My Cat, Xyoie, On Tuesday, But . . . Options

[mcase17]

I am having so much trouble dealing with whether or not she was actually deceased! I am starting to think I am losing my mind. She was 14 and had cancer, and was very ill towards the end. I woke up at 4 in the morning and checked on her, and just from looking, I could tell she was gone. Of course, I put my hand on her, no breath. My husband went to work that day and I had her in a blanket until he got home. I checked on her a few times. She never moved. She was becoming stiff (I think), here come the doubts . . . If anyone could please help me, I would appreciate it! Thanks!

Sorry for your loss. My dear cat Hobbes passed away at home too and although I knew she was "well and truly dead" part of me didn't want to believe it. I had to take the remains into the vets and before I handed her body over I just had to look one more time to make sure.

I still feel that there's a cosmic joke being played on me though and that she cannot be gone. She was,even until the end, very much a presence in our family and participated. People tell me that this is normal.
