Lost My Baby Options

[Lynn26]

I had to put my little girl down on 3/15/11. Her name is Jasmine. She was my first cat, I always had dogs. I found her almost 12 years ago working at a car lot. She ran in fear under a cola machine. She was malnurished and had pneumonia. I took her in and nursed her to good health. Well she got along with the dog and in time won the heart of my dad who was never a cat person before. Well one day she just stopped eating!!! So the next day we took her to the vet. She had lost weight quick and xrays reveled she had a large mass and she also developed a heart murmur. Other signs told the Dr that my baby had cancer and was in pain. So I did what I thought best (and so did the vet) I put my little one down. It was just so sudden! I was expecting her to have a longer life. Just days before not eating she was running & playing!! Oh how I am crying. I feel such sadness like my heart has been broken. How long will this last??? I have lost other pets and mourned but this is bad this time. I think because it was so sudden.

Dear Lynn,

Thank you for sharing this morning. I love how you are saving your precious Jasmine's favorite toy. Please know that this grief journey if filled with lots of tears and emotion. It helps to take it one day at a time.

Seeing your little Jasmine out of the corner of your eye is not unusual as Moon_beam mentioned. I can still hear my beautiful Victoria snoring some nights.

Hope you have a peaceful night's sleep.
With gratitude and healing thoughts,
