Donney ~ Wow, I am so sorry for your loss. It has been 116 days today I lost my Sammy ~ one of my three babies. I know it's been 116 days because I have been crossing the days off the calender, one by one. I'm not sure how long I will continue doing it, maybe forever.
If it helps any ~ I understand your pain . . . after 116 days, I not only cry everyday, I cry most of the time. If I didn't still have my other two with me, I would have physically died the day my Sammy did, and I have thought about taking them with me and be done with it because now not only do I grieve for Sammy daily, I now must deal with the knowledge that I must suffer this devastation two more times.
I am going to be honest with you (I think you already know) ~ contrary to what people say it's never going to get any easier for me! I will never be able to think or say her name & smile! I will never stop looking for her! Nothing will ever be the same again!
As far as never having any more animals ~ I swore to myself & anyone who would listen after I lost my Guido after 12 years together due to cancer, that I would never ever love anything that much again! And I meant it but one day this little ball of fur, this little bit of nothing, all of 4 weeks old crawled up the front of the couch and laid down next to me ~ the rest is history! That was 2 years ago & that little kitten became my Sammy. Losing her after just 2 short years is a million times more devastating than losing Guido after 12.
I often wish I never met her, that I would be better off. That is hard to explain to myself let alone others who don't understand this level of sorrow.

My sentiments exactly. Its been one month since I lost 2 cats 4 days apart, one expected, one not. I have only gone one day without crying. No one understands my pain or the bonds I had with my babies. I miss them so much I feel like I want to never wake up again. I dream about them and I swear one was laying with his back against mine and put his paw on my shoulder to say its okay momma when I was waking up the other day. It feels like this pain will never go away. I can't sleep in my bed, cant go into the laundry room, and I see them everywhere. I say that I wouldn't trade one day with them for anything but this pain is so unbearable, maybe I should never have any more animals because I love them too much. My prayers for all of you who are grieving a pet like I am.
