New Here....another Broken Heart Options

[Sadie's mom]

I went looking for pet loss support sites and found this place.

I lost my baby, my kitty girl Sadie, last Tuesday 9/28, to renal lymphoma. It happened so quickly, I am still in shock and can't believe she is not here with me. I'd never even heard of renal lymphoma in cats. We only found out the previous Friday about the lymphoma. I was a mess at that time knowing we had at best a few weeks left with her. It turned out to be only 5 days.

Five days to say goodbye after 9 years of a deep, soul-mate relationship not many people are fortunate enough to have with an animal. Oh, the tears............

I had originally typed a much longer post of what all happened during that time, but I have a feeling you all will know without my blathering on about every painful detail.

How do we go on after something like this?? I miss her more than words can say but am comforted by the fact that there are others, you, who know this awful pain. The hardest times of day for me are first thing in the morning, coming home from work in the evening, and going to bed. We had funny little routines for each of those....

I've read many posts here and cried at the heartache we all share. I find comfort in the thought that all of our precious companions are together at the Rainbow Bridge.

I just lost my companion, my buddy Carver on Oct. 8th. It was a real blow and although I have other cats, none will ever be the special friend to me that Carver became. I like you do not understand why this one was taken from me and I cannot even imagine life without him. I am worried too about his sister, Charlotte, who also seems to be grieving. She does not know of life without her brother Carver.

I have other cats, why was this very very special one taken from me?
