She's died

[AndStand]

Just that really. I came downstairs in the morning after hearing a little cry, and she'd died in her bed. She was 13 and I'd had her for 9 years and she was my little furry buddy, especially since I also lost my husband.
I just can't get rid of the shock of finding her.
Health wise she was fine so I assume it must have been a sudden event like her heart or a stroke.
I now feel TOTALLY alone in the house.

I am so sorry, just an internet stranger here, but sending love and strenght. 💐

I am so sorry , it really does hurt so much when they go 💔

Can you tell us her name?

Sorry for your loss.
So sad for you. I got another furry buddy within days when my cat went. She's right here with me.

Oh, I'm so sorry A terrible shock in any circumstances, but coming after you lost your husband must feel like the end of the world.

It sounds as though she died quickly in her sleep, which is a small blessing - a peaceful ending for her, and you were spared at some later time having to make the awful decision to PTS which comes to so many of us. While my cats have been PTS, my dog died suddenly at home and it took me much longer to get over the shock as I hadn't been mentally prepared.

She was obviously very much loved.

If you have love to give to a cat, in time, another cat will some day find you to fill the cat-shaped hole whether it's sooner or later - you will know the right time and the right cat to stop you being alone. With one of my cats, I found another within days; another, it was months - you won't be alone forever, but for now, take all the time you need to grieve your loss.

Sorry for you loss 😢

So sorry for your loss. Pets leave paw prints on your heart x sending the biggest of hugs x

So sorry for your loss.

all the best op @AndStand

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry - what an awful shock. It sounds like she had a lovely life with you.

She was my Luna.
So loved.
I miss her.

So sorry about your darling Luna.
It was a peaceful way to go by the sound of it, but so hard for you. Bless her. x

Im so sorry - they take our hearts with them 💕

I’m so sorry. They leave such a massive void. I hope it helps knowing that internet strangers are thinking of her and sending you love.

Oh bless x RIP Luna - its heartbreaking OP - let yourself grieve 💔

I'm so sorry 😞 For small animals they have such big personalities and leave such a big space.

💐

I'm so sorry...what a terrible shock for you

She was loved and cared for and died peacefully in her own safe place. Xxx

I the last 2 years I've had 5 family deaths (including my husband) and 3 friends. And now my kitty. It's all too much.
I mean obviously I knew she wouldn't live forever, but it's such a shock. Finding her limp and heavy, but still warm.
It's just the shock.

Is there anyone in RL that can keep you company this evening, OP?

Well I've come down with a massive cold, so I don't want to spread it around! Probably why I'm feeling so rubbish!
I'll be okay. Just feeling sorry for myself I suppose 😕

That's totally fair enough, OP. It must have been really horrible to find your lovely kitty like that after everything you've been through.

Be kind to yourself tonight.

Don't underestimate how hard it hits, especially after the other losses you've suffered. Reach out to your friends and family, they will want to support you. If it was me, I would risk a cold to come and give you a hug.

So sorry. They leave a space that is larger than you think it could ever be. Many of us have been through it and know how you are feeling.

If you feel up to it tell us more about Luna , post photos if you can bear to.

Aw, thanks!

She was so talkative. The house is so quiet now.
