I kept telling myself ‘what if’ but reading this article has helped me understand that luck is not always on our side. I lost my 7 month old cat Jasper. He would cuddle with me at night for bedtime and everything reminds me of him. Until we meet again Jasper. I love you papito.

It was written in memory of your kitty
The Puss.
We love them without measure,
and when they leave, they take with them a little piece of our heart.
But they also leave a little piece of their loving heart, with us , in a beautiful exchange.
❤️ ❤️

Today my 19 year old cat Tom had to be euthanased due to kidney disease. I have only had him for a year and a half, he belonged to Dad who passed away in Jan 2018.

Your pages have helped immensely this week. I returned to them today to read this section on grieving and found your words about a pet being the last living link to a deceased father. The cat Tom, died quite suddenly too. My relationship with Dad was somewhat fraught and at first I did not like his cat!

But I grew to love that cat so much – he had an amazing ginger Harris Tweed pelt, he was very vocal and because he had lived alone with Dad, he ‘conversed’ like him. Tom was a huge comfort after Dad’s death, and a very ‘companionable’ cat
who wanted to know where you were and to hang out there too.

Thanks again and hugs to all animal lovers grieving out there.

I recently lost my beloved Old English Sheepdog whom I had for 16 and half tears. I loved her more than life itself. It’s been 18 months but I still cry every day. She was my baby, she lived inside, she ate with me, she slept with me, I took her to see Santa and she came everywhere with me. She was the gentlest and most obedient girl ever – not a bad bone in her body. She would fall asleep when I groomed her. I miss her more than I’ve ever missed anyone who has passed. I suppose it’s my own fault for treating her like a child and not like a dog. I did everything dog trainers tell you not to. She was never sick but did have a bit of arthritis toward the end. I hope my tears will stop soon although I’ll always miss her. Thank you Dr Andrew.

We were inconsolable not just from missing her but the guilt in having to make that decision (was it too soon? What could we have done differently? We should have spent more time with her) was weighing down. This blog and “When its time for euthanasia” helped me a lot to understand and process the facts and the empathetic words helped because everything we were feeling was right there and rang true.
