Just lost my sweet baby Nuinui this evening. He took a piece of my heart with him. I love him so much. Although I only met him two Years ago, he was determined that we will be his human. We love him so much.

Beautiful Nuinui will always be a part of you life because he joined you along your life's journey for two years and formed a bond of love that can never be taken from you as long as you are alive to keep that bond whole. The physical part of your bonding may be gone, but now it is spiritual and unending. He took a part of your heart to comfort himself along his new life's journey, but he also left a piece of his own to help to fill that hole in your heart.  If he was determined to have you in his life, he would never want you to be sad at his passing, but to embrace life for what it is, and to let the sunshine and happiness flood your soul for him to share, just as you would want for him if you were the first to leave.  Try not to dwell on his end, but the happiness he brought to you and your family. It is a time of sadness, but like the sunrise know that each coming day is sure to arrive, and  with it light and happiness to make you feel better if you let it. Although you choose which path you want to follow, the path with sunshine in your life is the one your loved one would choose for the one he loved so very much.

My heart cries for your loss, the overwhelming pain is almost unbearable at first, but time will soften the hurt and we learn to live again in spite of the blow to our soul. Use your precious memories to comfort yourself, and know we here at this site understand and have empathy for what you are going through. Take care....... RIP beautiful Nuinui, you will never be forgotten by those who loved you so much, know you will be kept alive in loving hearts that miss you so very much!

Thank you very much. My heart is broken and I understand time would heal the wound.
Nuinui taught me a life lesson to make sure to express love to the ones we care. Life is short.
He will always be in my heart. I love him so much.

I am so sorry for your loss of handsome Nuinui.  I hope that your heart will heal soon and be filled with happy memories.  If you don't mind my asking, is there a significance to his name?

Very sorry that you lost that handsome boy, and I can tell the bond of love was very strong and will never be broken.

God Bless....

Nuinui is my only cat. It will take me a while to psychologically accept that he is no longer there. [emoji]128546[/emoji]

I understand. What helped me was getting another something to love. It doesn't stop the thoughts or the memories & I compared the new with how it was, but overall it helped. I will always recommend having something else around to focus all the sad & hurt on & when little eyes look at you & you can barely see them cause of the tears, just knowing they will love you no matter how sad you are, is comforting. Also, I'm single, don't have any kids & being alone doesn't help the grief. The house was empty, no purring, no one following me around. In everything I did I would remember my baby wasn't around anymore.

And even after the years that go by, I still miss her, still want her around, pray that I'll see her again. Nothing, not even time will ever change that.

Never realized that I am so adopted to having him around. I miss kissing him goodbye in the morning, I miss getting up at 5:30 to feed him, I miss petting him and playing the starring game. I miss having him napping on my legs. I miss having him next to the shower fearing me being harm by the "water monster". There is this big void in my heart. I am not sure if that would heal up.

Nurseangel, Nuinui means "little girl" in Chinese, although he is a little boy. When my sister got him from the breeder, they told her he is a girl, so my sister picked a girly name for him.

I, as others here, completely understand how you feel. When one close to us passes, the heartache is almost unbearable, and we feel that we cannot ever go on and that our hearts will never heal, but somehow they eventually do, maybe not like they were before but they heal. 

We certainly do get so used to their ways, and when that is gone we are devastated. When Sebastian passed last November, we missed his frequent "talking" to us, mostly in the kitchen. Simba drives me nuts EVERYTIME that I sit down at the kitchen table to eat, looking for handouts but we only give him chicken on occasion, we don't want to start giving him "people" food, and he at times drives me NUTS, staring at me, standing up on my leg, rubbing against me, pawing at me, making noises, and I say "it's amazing that I don't have an ulcer eating like this", but I also say to Deb "but you know, I'll miss it when it's gone", and I will, so I put up with it.

Awhile ago, I posted a story "Let me tell you about my little buddy Sylvester" on "the cat's meow" thread, and if you scroll down you can see it. I don't know why, but I think it might help you if you read it, just a hunch. He has helped me get over the loss of two close boys over the last few years, but when he goes I know I'll be a wreck-again-but hopefully that won't be for a long time but one never knows.

I hope that you find some comfort and the pain eases, and your heart slowly starts to heal. God Bless.....

Thanks Les26, for sharing your story. Sylvester looks like my first cat, Friday. I still miss him after 9 years.

Two weeks had passed and I am still crying every night. Everything of my home reminds me of my sweet Nuinui. I miss him dearly.

Oh my goodness, yes they do look alike! Such a handsome boy.....

It takes so long to be able to kind of get a handle on the emotions, and then sometimes when you think you do it starts all over again, months even years later. We know how you feel, and our hearts are aching right along with you. The only thing that seems to help is talking about it and mostly just time, unfortunately....

I'm going to give Sylvester a hug right now and say it is from you and for you to find some comfort soon, I hope it helps......
