Lost my beloved girl today (PTS)

[iloveyoubutilovememore]

Can't stop crying. Questioning whether she knew what was happening. Me and OH hugged her so tight as the final injection went in, both crying and telling her how much we love(d) her. It's absolutely heartbreaking and I don't know how we will get through this. She was nine years old and lost a front leg as a kitten (shot in our garden by a lunatic with an air rifle). Her back leg had been playing up massively and she had a huge growth on it which vet believes to have been arthritis. I know she would have been in pain but I wish we could have done more to help her. Please tell me it gets easier :(

It does get easier eventually, but you'll still think of her with the occasional pang of pain. But you know you did the best thing for her.

In time you'll come round to realising that you need to fill that cat shaped hole in your lives. You won't ever forget her, and you won't be disloyal to her memory as any new cat won't be a replacement (nothing could be, I know). You'll just be offering a loving home to another cat in need.

I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️

I’m so sorry ❤️

Oh I'm so sorry. It's such a hard decision to have to make isn't it? It sounds like she's been so very much loved, lucky girl. Sending you strength.

So sorry for your loss x losing a fur baby is absolutely devastating. Sending you peace and love 🙏💐❤️

Im so sorry to hear this. The only thing she will know is that she was hugged and loved and then went to sleep.
Sending you lots of love ❤️

So sorry for your loss, I’m sure she was so lucky and loved in life, you sound like wonderful owners ❤️❤️

It does get easier- it's only so hard now because you loved her so much. And you can be absolutely sure she knew that.

Be kind to yourselves- I'm very sorry for your loss.

It does get easier but right now that won’t mean much as you’re grieving. Each time I’ve said goodbye to my beloved girls with fur in this way I consoled myself in time that when this moment came to pass they knew nothing but love. You did the right thing for her and the hardest thing for you. I believe that they know. Sorry for your loss 🌈

Thank you all. It’s mainly the reality of her being gone that I’m finding most difficult. Seeing her in the morning waiting for breakfast and coming to cuddle in the evening. I completely underestimated how much this would hurt :( we buried her in our garden so at least we can go and sit outside with her.
