My kids

I lost my beautiful girl Jessie to cancer 2 weeks ago. She was 17 years old and I loved her soooo much. It came on very fast and was shocking. Luckily she was not in pain. I was so lonely that I felt there was a hole in my heart. I ended up rescuing another kitty (I found jessie as a stray outside). I had found a kitten outside 6 mts prior to jessie's passing. My mom took the kitten to her barn because jessie did not like other animals. After jessie had passed, I went to the barn and brought the little kitten home and named her punkin. She had never been in a home before and cuddled like you wouldn't believe! We shared every dinner together and I hand fed her deli turkey (her favorite). She was 1 years old when I brought her home. I had taken her to the vet and at first my vet was concerned about her weight and overall health. After a week of medicine, punkin seemed to be doing a ton better!! One week later, yesterday, I woke to find her gone. It was so shocking and I just screamed and cried my fool head off. My vet offered to bury her in her memorial garden which I appreciated. My vet thinks that she died of FIP. She tested negative for FIV but since she was so sick and underweight, my vet thought it might be FIP. I sure hope they can come up with an accurate test and cure for this!!!
I am just heartbroken and overwhelmingly depressed especially since I lost both my kids within 2 weeks apart.
Please say a prayer for Jessie and Punkin that they are happy up in heaven.


Jessie and Punkin- prayers are flying
Thanks,
Aimee

Oh how very sad, My Heart goes out to you, its never easy to loose one, never can be prepared, I hope you will come here for comfort and any help you may need, You are in my thoughts and prayers

I'm so sorry to hear about that, that is really hard. I am thinking good thoughts your way, and hope your dear ones are feeling good wherever they are.

Thank you so much. That brought tears to my eyes not only writing it but reading your replies. It helps to have people to talk to who truly understand what I am going through.
That means alot to me.
Thank you again.

Two shocks so close together are too much for anyone to bear. They are together at the Bridge.

Ugh, yes. It's just been miserable. My life is so empty and I am so depressed.
You are right, they are together at rainbow bridge and that is at least comforting to think about.

Thanks for replying.

Oh, Aimee! That is soo TRAGIC! I hope that you can take comfort in the fact that you gave both cats so much love and care - I'm sure they're across the Bridge together, each claiming bragging rights on having had the Best Meowmmy on the Whole Earth. Trying to fill the hole in your heart must feel like trying to cover up the Grand Canyon, but know that this too shall pass. And many are the little kitty hearts that beat tonight, longing for a place in your home, and such a fine, loving home it is! Peace & comfort, Susan

Someday you will see your darling kittys again, until then they will wait at the rainbow bridge for you. http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18094 has a poem that helped me alot when I lost my precious Butch, I hope it helps you too.

Carolcat, thank you so much. I appreciate your kind words and prayers. It has been so difficult. I am just so sad but knowing that I will see them again does ease the pain a little. Thank you for the link.
I printed off the Rainbow Bridge poem after Jess passed and put her picture and the poem in a frame. I am making one for my Punkin too.
Thanks again

You are very welcome, I know how hard it is. Feel free to PM me if you want to. And try to be kind to yourself. We are here for you and you need time to grieve.

Oh I appreciate that so much. I feel so lucky that I found this site. Although my family is supportive and try to be understanding, they don't completely understand the depth of my sadness.

I am so sad to hear about your losses. I know that Punkin and Jess are at the rainbow bridge running free of pain and illness. My heart goes out to you at this difficult time and you and your kits are in my prayers.
