How Do You Accept The Fact Your Pet Has Passed? Options

It is just really hard for me to believe my cat is no longer physically with me anymore.

I haven’t really felt strong enough to do anything for awhile, including writing in this when it really actually helps. I just feel sluggish and unmotivated about everything in life.




Inessence: I am so sorry about your two losses. I’m sure this is still very hard for you. I hope some of your sadness can be eased by coming here.

mollycat: Yes I completely understand. What is hard for me is that I haven’t actually been home yet where my cat lived since I have been at my college home…I am absolutely terrified to go back. My mother tells me how she is always looking for my cat. I usually came home to specifically see Lily a lot of times so its almost like a home is not a home without her. At least I have my family there.

missingmygranny: Yes I do actually. It may sound a little too much but I have 2 picture frames of her in my room, a big canvas photo of her, and little little “look alike “ cats that I set out by a cross. It makes me feel better but sometimes it really hurts to look at her, just because I miss her so much. Thank you for the advice. I appreciate it.

Lorig234: I’m very sorry about Titan. Lily also had cancer and it was hard to watch her wither away. I’m glad he was able to put up a great fight, that’s good to hear. I think whenever the time is right you will know it. You want to be able to be excited about it and give it all the love it deserves, which I would NEVER doubt you wouldn’t ☺. We also put Lily to sleep because it could of only become worse with the cancer. I think she knew that it was time to go and was at peace with it. I hope that you are holding up.

Chandanimane: I can only imagine how hard it has been on you losing two pets in such a close time frame. I’m very sorry about your losses. Thank you for the advice I have been doing a combination of those things and you’re right it does help. Lily’s ashes were also just received by my family yesterday-definitely a heartbreaking experience but as you said it will help everyone overall with the grieving process. Thank you so much for your kind words. They have helped me immensely. It is always nice to reminded of things.

LynnMiller: Thank you for your words and I am also sorry about Lucymae. I have read some of your other posts and I can tell how much you miss and love Lucymae (as with everyone else missing their loved ones). It is such a difficult process but I think it is amazing how much compassion people have for their pets. I think it shows a lot about character. Always here to support you as well. Thank you ☺

Bruce: I completely agree with you Bruce. I am so sorry to hear about your pets. I’m sure they were all wonderful. I hope that you are doing the best you can and remember the words you have told the forum. When I posted this I was at a really low point and have been all week so didn’t want to come back to the forum and write. I thought it would just be too hard and I have felt “blank” and “numb”. When in actuality this is one of the biggest helps for me. I hope you are still coming back to read about other’s experiences. Thank you for posting.

Lindsey: I’m sorry about your loss. I have just come to terms that this experience will be ups and downs in a cycle. So I completely agree with you. Thinking of you as well, thank you so much and I hope things are going as best as they can for you.
