Last week, my mom put her 14 year old cat, Precious, to sleep due to liver failure. Today, her little 6 month old kitten, Bubba, was killed by neighbor Rotweilers (sp?). I couldn't believe it when I heard it. My mom's been through so much. My step-dad commited suicide back in 1994 and she still grieves over that. And the hits just keep on coming. She thinks she's being punished for something. I honestly don't know what to tell her because I feel just as sad. I can't stop crying, either, so I don't know that I'm helping matters any. I don't know what to do for her. What can I tell her? I've been through putting a kitty to sleep, but not all these things at one time. If anyone has any good websites I can recommend to her or some good books for her to read, please let me know. I'm not sure what else to do.

I think your mom may need to go throuh some counseling to help her cope with all she is going through . That really would help her through her daily walk . He/she also will be able to lift her up again to feel good again about herself . I am sure if you or your mom look around there will be some low cost counselers in your area , there are usualy in any city available .

I'm so sorry about the loss of your mom's two cats within such a short period of time. I agree that some counceling might be helpful for your mom. And since she feels she's being punished for something, maybe she'd like to start by talking to her clergyperson??????
