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.

Tina,

What a beatiful cat. I know how much you are missing your BooBear, as I am feeling the same way right now. I had 12 wonderful years with my Casey (crossed Rainbow Bridge 11/13/2008) and 14 with my Shelby (just crossed 4/29/2010) and I still feel that was not enough time. I have not stop crying since Shelby has passed. I am one of those "what if" people, but with the support of the wonderful people here they have helped me realize that I did what I had to do for Shelby - as you did for your BooBear. We both have a lot of healing to do, but in time things will get better - I know it just doesn't feel that way right now. Just take one day at a time and know you have someone right by your side. My husband keeps assuring me I will see all my beloved pets again one day - a day I am very much looking forward too.

You are in my thoughts and prayers

Karen
