Grief Options

[BabyHenry]

Yesterday, I came home from work to find my best "old man" cat Sweet Spot dead in his sleep in his favorite spot by the window. He was 16, and getting arthritic, but otherwise seemed perky and had no health problems.
He was a good friend, and even though I know he lived a long life for a cat, I am still deeply sad and heartbroken.
He slept on my pillow at night. I will miss so much waking up to his fish breath.

Love you Spotty. I hate this so much. It just hurts.

Hi, BabyHenry, please permit me to offer you my sincerest sympathies in the physical loss of your beloved Sweet Spot. As you know so well from first hand experience it doesn't matter if it's our first grief experience or our thousandth - - each grief journey is uniquely painful because each relationship we have with each of our companions is uniquely individual. The consolation is that your beloved Sweet Spot transitioned from this earthly realm quietly in the place he loves the most - - surrounded by the sights, sounds, smells, and love of his Forever Home. Even so this does not diminish the shock and sorrow that is in your heart with his unexpected passing. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers as you travel your grief adjustment journey, and please know we are here for you for as long and as often as you need us. And please know that your beloved Sweet Spot's sweet Living Spirit is always and forever with you - - he is always and forever a heartbeat close to you.

Peace and blessings,
