It hasn't even been a week since Goldilocks passed away. My friend was very distraught so I had been keeping in touch with her every day. Last night I couldn't get a hold of her after trying to call her repeatedly. I became worried, but thought that she wanted to be alone, so I went to bed. This morning, her mother called me at work and told me she was in the hospital. She had been having a terrible time dealing with the death of her precious baby. I didn't know that she didn't even go back to work after the death. She just shut down totally. I had talked to her every day on the phone and didn't even see this coming!! I just got back from visiting her and I am heartbroken!! She seems to believe that Goldilocks is going to come back home...please send vibes and keep her in your thoughts. I know you all don't know her, but she is one of us...a true cat lover who is very fragile right now. Sometimes reality just seems to be too painful for some of us.

So sorry to hear that your friend is so heartbroken. A pet's death is very devastating and anyone that doesn't think so, has never had a pet touch their heart and soul.

I will say a prayer for your friend to get through this VERY difficult time. My heart goes out to her!

Oh my gosh, I didn't even know Goldilocks had passed on!! I tend to avoid the RB forum because it makes me cry...
I remember the whole story of how Goldilocks came to be with your friend. This is so sad. I'm sending her lots of and I hope it is a small comfort for her to know that she provided Goldilocks with a loving home in her final days.

It's such a hard thing to know that when we adopt our little furbabies, chances are very high that we're going to have to let them go at some point. It's never easy. I hope your friend gets well soon.

O I feel so bad for your friend. I hope she gets the help she needs. Don't feel bad about not seeing this....people can do a great job of hiding pain.

There are groups for those who have lost a pet. But I can understand this happening. It is so overwhelming to loose one of our kitties.

I'm so sorry for your friend's loss of her furbaby. (Like others here, I tend to avoid the Bridge section.)

The hardest thing in the world for a petlover to do is to say good-bye to a cherished furkid. It's a loss that we will never truly recover from because the bond is so strong. All we can do is know that we provided the best home we could, lots of happiness and lots of hugs.

I'm sending many hugs to your friend.
I'm so sorry.

My heart goes out to your friend. ...Goldilocks could sense she was a good human --They were meant to be although it was short. Goldilocks knew love and care, right up til the end.
