My heart sank yesterday when I saw the lock on the thread about Pax, because I knew what that meant. I am truly sorry for your loss. While I think all losses are sad, there is something especially difficult about the young kits. While his time was short & this life unforgiving on his body he knew something many cats & kittens never get to know. He knew he was loved and in the end you gave him the greatest gift of love. The gift to let his body be free from this unforgiving world and again be pain free. I know there are no words to comfort you, but know that you did all you could. I've heard it said that when their pain ends ours just begins. I am sorry for your loss and your pain. Give some extra cuddles to Kitchi, he will need your extra love.

I am at work bawling reading this. I am so sorry for your loss and Kitchi's loss. I feel for little Kitchi as he doesn't have the processes we do for mourning and grieving. The poor little thing. Give him lots of love, I know you will and it will help to heal both of your hearts.

I found this last month when I lost my Stripey. It comforted me and thought it might comfort you and who ever else reads it. I do feel your grief.

I Stood By Your Bed

I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.

I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."

I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times your hands reached out to me.

I was with you at the shops today, your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.

I was with you at my grave today, you tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you that I'm not lying there.

I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "It's me."

You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know that I was standing there.

It's possible for me to be so near you every day.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."

You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
In the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.

The day is almost over... I smile and watch you yawning
And say, "Goodnight, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."

And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.

I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out... then come home to be with me.

Pax was just as lucky as you were to be called to each other's lives.


Such a hard goodbye to say. I wish there was more I could say to you to help you to heal. It broke my heart to read this. I'm sitting here crying right now.

RIP little Pax. You were such a beautiful little boy. Your momma and your brothers and all your fans on TCS are missing you right now. We will all see you one day on the other side.


Many
for you Chris at this difficult time. We are here to listen to you rant or vent or cry. You don't have to apologize for feeling anything right now.

It was such a dreadful thing to happen and you are right to be angry and rant at the worlds about the unfairness of it all. I felt just the same when I lost Napoleon. But Pax did bring you joy and you will get to a stage when you remember the good times before the bad. Now you must do all you can for Kitchi who is mourning without understanding. Vibes from all of us here to you all.

Chris, I'm so sorry - I'm just at a loss for words, and I know exactly how you feel. Even almost 4 years later, I miss my little Smudge. You did everything you could, and Pax knows that.

I am so sorry for your loss!
He was taken way too young, but at least in that short time, he was loved dearly. He left this life with you by his side, knowing how much you loved him. I was hoping I wouldn't see this thread, that he would make it, like all of us here. Again, I am very, very sorry..

Play happily at the Bridge Pax..R.I.P. Sweet Baby, you are an angel now.

I am so, so sorry in the lost of your sweet angel, Pax. What a darling baby he was and way too young! I'm in tears as I grieve his passing. He's now pain free. Sometimes we just don't understand. In the short time you did have him, you gave him so much love and happiness. Many hugs and prayers for you and Kitchi.

Oh no! Not little Paxie. I'm shocked, stunned, and heartbroken. I'm crying while typing this. Sweet little Pax. Fly swiftly to the other side, little one, but come back to check in on your Mama and your brother. They both miss you so.


P.S. Chris, be gentle with yourself. Tell Kitchi what's happened, and allow him to help you heal. I'm so, so, so sorry.
