How Do You Stop Crying?, Recent Loss Options

[Countrygirl]

I am Tina,
I was fortunate enough to speng 8 short years with my best pal BooBear. The very first night I took him home, (he had been abbandoned on a vets door) he fell right to sleep on my chest. Anytime I was upset he was there. He would greet me at the door everyday. He had to be put to sleep.

He had diabetes for one but lost control of his bowels and bladder so I believe there was more they had not found. The last day he kept hidding under the sofa something he would never do....just to nosey. When I would hold he he would latch on like he was off balance. I went to brush he with the softest brush and even that seemed to cause him pain. I made the decision but I can't sto[ second guessing myself and I can't stop crying. I come home to an empty house and an even emptier heart. I never thought it could hurt this much. I used yo yell him we would grow old together. That didn't happen and now it is just so hard. I was glad when I found this site, even though my family grieves with me they really can't feel the everyday loss. Thanks for letting me pour out my heart...I don't know what else to do with it.

HI there Tina, I

just wanted to say sorry for your kitty BooBear's passing, he sure was a beautiful cat. What a nice story too, rescuing him for your vet's office! You know, I never understood why people got so emotional about their pet dying until I lost my dog Stormy back in February at the age of 14 - I now totally understand. It is completely and utterly devastating - my eyes looked 'funny' for days afterwards from all the crying I did. At any rate, your sweet cat was so pretty and I am so sad for you, if it's any comfort many people on here know EXACTLY what you are going through - it is such a tough time.

Sending you a little hug to remember your sweet cat BooBear (cute name too!!) and please don't second guess yourself, you did what was right at the time.
