Guilt, Grief Options

[Mike]

I am a 50 year old man and my 20 year old cat (Eeyore) is on her last legs with kidney disease.
She lives at my mothers the past 5 years because my wife is allergic to her. I try and see her every day, but I am afraid of her dying. I am afraid my emotions will be so horrendous and my thoughts! Donna is very understanding , we have been together for five years, even suggesting to bring her to live here. Funny, I feel closer to this cat than my wife. I cant explain it, shes been with me through alot.
Thanks pet support for letting me share this. I really appreciate this.
Love to all, Mike

I'm very sorry to here that your baby is so sick. I unexpectedly lost my 7 year old sweetie 15 days ago due to a tumor . Oh it's so hard I still cry everyday. But I can tell you finding this site with all these great people really is helping. People thought we were being to upset. Then when I came here the compasssion of these folks because of their losses has helped me know it's okay to hurt this bad. You have been lucky to have so many years of that wonderful love from your baby so I know that has to be hard to not ache. This was my first pet ever and I never knew about all the love they give. You found a great place to come to, let us know how things are going. I am not as good as a writer as most of these people but I keep trying because I know how they are helping me to recover. Bless you Patty
