Companion Animal Memorial Thread

About an hour ago I found one of my kitties dead. My little brother. I've known him since childhood. He was fifteen years old. Pretty good for a cat, I think.

I'm not even sure what to do. He's always been there, being his rascally old self. I don't think things will ever be normal again.

:hug: I'm so sorry.
 
Holly has gone.

Her surgery didnt go well. I feel like I have been hit by a truck.

Thanks for all those that said nice things to me in the gripe thread.

Life without her really sucks.
 
Benadryl and chocolate is how I handled my last dog's unexpected death.

Not trying to make light of your situation. I know how it feels. Again I am sorry. :(
 
I dont think you are making light of it. It is just awful because she has been with us for 14 years. That is a really long time. And now I have lost both my cat and dog. I just dont know how to cope. I think I am going to be a bit unhinged for a while. Not sure if i will go to my course tomorrow either, but it could be a good distraction, otherwise I am just moping around here. I dont know what to do with my mind.
 
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a 1,000 winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sun on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled light
I am the soft star that shines at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there; I did not die.

Thanks ledboots, that is a lovely poem.

Probably going to spend all night on the internet. Tumblr is helping a bit.
