You take it one day at a time. You remember him and how special he was. Remember all the joy he brought to you and be at peace know he too is in peace now.

The pain may never go away, but it will get less and less until the hurt is tolerable. I just lost my kitty in Feb. He was a year and a half old and died from feline leukemia. My fiance and I found out about his condition at 12 weeks old and did everything from extremely expensive foods and high quality furnace filters and herbal remedies for him. We raised him from when he was 2 weeks old. I had been wanting a baby for awhile but couldn't when he came into our lives. Trust me, it still hurts, but I do what Leo did every day: I hold my head high and never give up. I know he'll come back to me some day- whether as my child or another cat. His soul will return. But until then, I know that he is at rest and no longer in pain. I still feel his kitty kisses on my face sometimes at night, and I know that he will never leave me as long as I always love him unconditionally as I always have.

As long as you alway love your kitty, he will never leave you.

Vettechgirl - I know that you are having trouble getting through your grief over Leo.  I want you to know that you just gave some excellent advice - now you follow your own advice, hear?

Becky - I am so sorry to hear about Toby.  Try to let your memories become a comfort to you - you loved him and took good care of him, and now he's at the Rainbow Bridge, free of pain and watching out for you.  Give yourself time to grieve, but do know that you will get through this and it will get easier.

He looks just like my Lucky who was found in the middle of an intersection. Lucky also goes by Sniper because he likes to jump out of nowhere and grab your ankles!

Hi, Becky and Phillip, I am so sorry about your Toby.  First I want to assure you that you are not crazy.  Losing a beloved fur child is as bad as, if not worse than, losing a loved human family member or friend.  Your grief journey is still in its early stages, so what you are feeling and experiencing is perfectly normal.  Your necklace sounds wonderful.  Have you thought about doing a memorial scrapbook or booklet? Or perhaps a memorial garden or maybe a memorial service?  When each of my furkids have passed, I have found great comfort in doing a memorial booklet on them - - pictures, poems, and writing a brief eulogy for them.  I have found this to be very healing and comforting for me because it helps me to focus on their lives and what we shared together.  And I assure you your relationship with Toby has only changed temporarily to a different dimension.  He is still with you in spirit and in your heart.  Have you heard of the Rainbow Bridge?  If you believe in a loving after life, then you can be sure you will see him again, and he will be happy to see you, for you gave him the last precious gift of your love you could give him on this side of eternity - - the release from the pain and agonizing discomfort of his physical body so that he could be healed and restored to play with the angels while he waits for you to join him at your appropriate time.  I know it hurts so much right now, and we are here for you to help you through your grief journey until your good memories of Toby can bring a smile to your heart once again.  Please keep in touch and let us know how you're doing.

Peace and blessings to you,

moon_beam
