Wishing I were anywhere but here
I know your heart feels heavy and that the day looks bleak, but you did do the right thing. She was so blessed to have you in her life. She will never forget that and as time goes by, you will start to remember the good times you had with her. Sending you many to get you through the day.

A lot of us have been where you are today, it is not easy and is almost unbearable. You have lots of support here, use us, we are here for you.

I Am so sorry for your loss, like many others on here, I have been through that experience more times than I would have liked, but the fact you could put her first, and let her go however hard it was for you, means you were the best owner she could have had, she had 19 years of wonderful love with you, and someone who loved her enough to put her first, and she will be thankful for that. RIP little one, and do send a sign when you get to the bridge.

I can't accept she is gone. I keep thinking she is going to stumble into the room any second.

The other posters have said all the things I would say, very well, and of course all of our hearts go out to you and Kipper (who will be free of pain! and waiting for you over the Rainbow Bridge...).

Personally, I always do three things at these times: I make a memory book of photos and words, so that I will always have that to remember my loved one by, and I can share it with others who loved them or who are interested. I plant a plant above the resting place, for a living memorial. Roses are favorites, but I've also planted jasmines, as well as trees. And finally, I adopt another deserving cat. Not to "replace" a unique and beloved cat, as that would never be possible anyway; but as all of my cats are rescues, and my life is dedicated to cat rescue, humane education, and all related, I am a firm believer in giving another needy cat a chance, saving another precious life! and giving love to another -- I know that my cats would want it that way, too.

You and Kipper are in all of our prayers, I know. If you can be there with her during her transition, it will make her passage much calmer and easier. And you will look back knowing that you did the best for her.
You are a girl after my own heart!!!! Simply awesome!!!! You said everything!!!I am standing giving you a hand, you are tooo cool!!!!!
I would enjoy talking to you about all you do for cats! I just know I feel
the very same as you! Take care and PM me sometime!
Monique

I just read where you are back home! I have been so upset, bawling my eyes out! So sorry! was kipper your only cat? I wish I could make you feel better!All My Love!!! Monique

I'm so sorry to hear about Kipper. Losing someone you love is always hard whether they have fur or not! We had to have our family cat PTS when she was 19 and it absolutely devastated me. I stayed with her all night and just held her, i felt so guilty and kind of like i was giving up but when we got to the vets she looked at me and i knew instantly that i was doing the right thing. You have given her an amazing life which is a lot more than many cats get! Although letting go is hard, seeing her deteriorate would be agony!!! R.I.P Kipper

It feels as if your heart will never heal, doesn't it? It will. It will take as long as it takes, and your journey there will be your journey. There is a great gaping hole that has been left by your sweetie, and it will not go away, but in time you will learn to move around it so that you don't fall in, so that you will find your smile again and have only tears of fond remembrance.

You have done the most loving thing you could do. In relieving Kipper's pain you have taken it on yourself. Be gentle with yourself. Sending you
I wish you peace.

RIP Sweet Kipper


~~~~~~~~

And out of respect for Kipper, I will move this thread to the Bridge.

I'm so sorry that you are faced with this. I just lost my baby suddenly Fri night. I can't imagine how you must feel. Try to be strong and remember you are doing this as an act of love and kindness.

I am SO SORRY. I feel so sad! But you know she IS there with you in spirit (it's hard when you can't stroke or rub, but I hope you know she IS there and will always be with you!) as well as over the Bridge waiting for you...she is free now, and she is everywhere! Be aware, because she may give you signs in the days to come that she is with you. No, I'm not a new-ager or anything, but believe me, I KNOW.

This is so sad, I am crying my eyes out for you and my husband thinks I'm a nut! I am so sorry you lost your kitty, but you did do the right thing. I hope you can find another cat that will touch your heart as much as Kipper did.
