My heart is breaking :(

I really miss Smokie. For those who don't know, when I was in the hospital with the wreck... we found out the reason I was getting pneumonia and bronchitis all the time, I am highly allergic to cats. So we had to rehome Smokie. I talked to the shelter that took him, they called and said he had been sent to a wonderful home with a retired couple who can love on him all day. I really miss him and I cry alot. I know it is probably normal, but how to I heal? DH isn't letting me get another pet right now, even if I find a hypo-allergenic variety of cat, and well I just feel like that part of my life is missing.  I'm glad Smokie is happy and doing well, I just miss him. Thanks for listening

Healing takes time  You have to mourn and feel the pain of losing Smoky,  Since you know he is fine and loved in another home, you can take comfort in that.  As I said in another post to someone else, you can't avoid that pain, you can't go around it or back away from it by filling the empty place with another cat.  With grief, the only way out of it is THROUGH it. Keep crying when the feeling comes over you.  Crying actually helps us heal.
