My husband & I just suffered a great loss. Our home was burnt by fire & we lost some of our most beloved pets. There was 7 that didn't make it out. Our son tried to get as many out as he could. We lost Spook (10years old) she was a bit nuts, Nerd (9year old) he was an intellect, Tanga (6years old) he was our sloth cat, Del(5years old) he was a bit slow but always lovable, Cally (9years old) was the queen of all, Lucky (3years old) was a princess and always on someones lap, Dude(1years old) was young but extremely long tail & tongue. Spike 12 years old was a incredible jumper, he made it out but his injuries took him 17 days after the fire. We are not sure how to deal with this kind of loss all at once. They will always be in our hearts. All of them had been rescues from one bad situation or another. It is hard when people dont understand that a pet is an important part in alot of our lives. We lost everything but the main thing that hurts is that we lost our family members. Anyone with advice on how to cope with this loss please feel free to give it. Nosey was Spike's brother we lost him at the beginning of the year do to complications to a cold he was a diabetic that lived for 6 years with the dieases

Hello,

How could anyone advise you on how to cope with such a horrible loss. I pray no one ever experiences such a loss. I can only tell you that you are not alone, we all here love our pets and know the DEEP sorrow of losing  any pets (Family member). I can't even imagine how devastated you are. You have my complete sympathy for your loss. You have to remember that you saved them all from bad situations and made their lives much better and gave them much love and kindness. You can't dwell on the end, it will drive you crazy. Focus on the ones you still have and be happy you deserve that. My prayers are with you all.

I read your post a while ago and was so shocked and hurt for you that I didn't respond because I just did not know what to say!  I am so sorry that you are going through this horrible experience.  You are in my prayers.

I also read and did not know what to say, I, as well can't imagine, but do know this, they are all up in Heaven waiting on you, still loving you. I will pray for you and your husband. I am so sorry that I can't be of more help. I agree to love the ones here. I like to think of it as this, and please I do not want to offend or upset you. But God probably needed them up there for a little boy or girl that was an orphan. When we lost our little Princess, for some reason that came to me and when I explained it to my son he was a little more okay to know that she was needed to keep a boy or girl without family company. God had a bigger plan for them. So I'm compelled to pass it to you. You are in my prayers.
