| My heart aches with you.....we too recently lost our "babies" to a neighbor who killed him. We, like you, did not have human children, but "furry" children who we cherish and love. I started counseling last Monday. I cried through the whole session, but she let me pour my heart out. Please get some counseling. We (You and I ) lost our children, and even if others feel they "were only pets" our loss and heartache is just as strong as if we had lost a human child. We must be allowed to grieve.....we loved them. You are in my heart and in my prayers......I am crying as I write this....I never want to feel this pain again...

| I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my baby about 3 or so months ago. That is how I found this site, looking for advice, same as you. Coming /finding this site was the best gift/help to me because I found advice & empathy from other catlovers. And they are such sympathetic listeners. It has been very therapeutic for me here. Losing my Lil was like losing a real baby. It is like grieving a family member. Being aware of the stages of healing/grief & the symptoms seem to be the same as those relating to humans. The process is near identical, I think. These folks here are awesome & so so smart about all things cat. They listen, care & have much compassion. If not for the empathy here, it would've taken me a lot longer to heal, I think. If you have people with the patience to listen, care and give feedback, to me that is the best help. And if music moves you, the current topic about music for grieving would be good, I think. It is a great healer to me, music is. Also, if you have any sort of faith resource, this would be a time to draw on that, also.

I am so so sorry for you loss. It must be absolutely terrible to lose all your kitties at once. Just like everyone else has said, let it all out don't bottle it up. Think of all the happy memories of all the funny and naughty things they have done. Try to laugh and smile about the good times.
One thing I've found to help with grieving for my boys is to make a book up for them of all stories and memories I have of them and putting in photos and decorating. You could also scrapbook them.
I'm so sorry once again for your loss. My heart goes out to you and I'm thinking of you at this very hard time.
