Just Lost My Baby...

Hey everyone, my name is Sarah. I came across these boards after finding out I had to put my beloved cat, Jelly, to sleep. He has been a part of my family for over 12 years. He wasn't just a pet. He was my companion. My sidekick. He was a part of our family and he and I had a special bond and connection. He was just an amazing cat. He touched everyone he met. People who didn't even like animals adored him. He loved being around people. I can't even believe that he is gone. He was put to sleep yesterday. I can't go to work. I can't sleep. I just cry and cry and I just want to feel his fur and have him cuddle up next to me again. I know he is no longer suffering, he had cancer and didn't eat for two weeks, not even water. He would lay in the same spot for entire days. We knew he wasn't the same Jelly anymore. What do you do to cope? How do you get through each day? My house just feels so empty. It doesn't feel right. Sometimes I just don't know how I'm going to get through this. It's so nice to know that there are other people out there who understand. My employer has not been understanding either, but I know I have to go back to work and take it each day at a time and try to get through, I know thats what Jelly would have wanted. Thank you for reading.
