Getting over losing them

[hartof]

It's been 3 months since out cat was hit by a car and had to be PTS. I'm still finding it so hard, he was almost 3 we had him from being 9 weeks old and it was 3 years ago now that we got him so all the memories are popping up and I can't help but watch them. We have another cat who is almost 1, I went to buy him some of the fishy soups today and I was in the aisle and just felt my chest get some tight and tears well up because they were my other cats favourite and he should be having them 💔

It sounds so silly, but he was my baby 😞

So sorry for your loss, I still well up when I think of the loss of my Shadow 20 years ago.
I've lost 8 now and haven't got over any of them, the new cat is helping but you always miss them.
I lost my Bluebell in February after having her for 20 years and cry almost everyday.

I lost mine Nov 19 & I’m still waiting to come to terms with it too. You bond more with some cats so it hurts more to lose them.

I’ve cried over all my cats but the pain of losing the Bengal boy is awful.

We lost one of ours in March from a rtc too and I still well up thinking about him.

We got another cat who is his body double 3 weeks later and I still catch myself calling her his name out of habit which makes me upset too

He would have been 8 in August and we'd had him 4 years, along with his (non blood) brother. Our boy cat is still very quiet and I think misses him, but sometimes only until girl cat tries to play with him

I lost one of mine suddenly 5 days ago(I was literally playing with her like usual then half hour later rushing her to the vet). I had to arrange her cremation this morning and my heart broke again. I need to pay the vet and collect her basket but I can't face it. I miss her so much, I think because I've been with her virtually 24/7 since March last year it has made it worse. Her sister spent the first day ignoring me which broke my heart even more, she now comes and snuggles up to me in bed at night but I miss her sister's boundless energy and cuddles whilst I'm watching TV.

I'm so sorry ❤️ it's truly heartbreaking losing them.

It does get better. But if you've got Facebook memories of Timehop the pictures pop up without warning and that is really hard.

I lost my wonderful boy last week, also hit by a car. I was and am devastated, he was the most loving, gorgeous boy and I am beyond sad.

We've lost two boys in a year, Colin just 6 weeks ago

I woke up this morning wondering where my furry fella in my face was

I'm so sorry for you both!

I keep dreaming about him, the mental part of me thinks it's him coming to visit knowing I'm struggling but realistically I think it's my other cat coming in the room and me sensing that, but not being awake enough to realise it's not my big cat.

This is so heartbreaking. We love our pets so much that their loss can be overwhelming. Our gorgeous girl was PTS two weeks ago and its all so very raw. I started a thread on this (sorry don't know how to link it) called 'Our beloved cat has gone' and I've received some wonderful support and kindness on that thread. I can't imagine how awful and shocking it would be to lose them so suddenly as this. We had a week to prepare ourselves for her passing and that was hard enough. I'm still grieving myself but my advice would be cry, cry and cry some more. These amazing animals touch our hearts so deeply. When they are gone our grief is the price we pay for that love. It's such a difficult time, I sometimes think my heart will never heal from the loss but life has to go on and I know from experience that one day I will be able to think about our gorgeous girl and not well up with tears but instead just smile at the happiness she bought to us and us to her. Thinking of you OP and everyone else who has lost their beloved pets

You never get over losing them, you question everything you ever did and if you could have done anything differently

My four babies bring me so much joy but I realise every time I leave for work in the morning it could be the last time I see them. I feel ridiculous for loving them so much but I know they have a brilliant life with me and are loved and cherished.
