Hi
Tigger passed away at home from heart problems. I posted back in May and everyone was so wonderful here. I often come back to read what others are going through to help me out. I just have waves of sadness that overtake me and I thought I could share my feelings. Hopefully others can give me some wisdom. I know that time makes it less painful but I still go crazy with questions and sadness.
My poor husband says he just doesn't know what else to say. He gives me tons of hugs and asks what he can do. Ofcourse I say bring Tigger back. I know my husband hurts too - he got Tigger for me but he deals with it different.
We had Tigger for almost 14yrs - so unique. I wouldn't even say he was a cat because he was so smart and took care of me. He sleep with me
everynight and that is the hardest time for me. I'm crying while I type this because I can't believe he is gone. I haven't lost a pet before - hard to believe and we still have 6 wonderful loving kitties, but he was our first and Tigger and I had this bond.
I just don't know what to do to bring happiness back to my heart. Any words or stories would be great to help me. I have tried to move past the guilt part - that is the worst. I still get so mad that when I walked away to get a kleenex and write his birthday down (for the vet) he took his last breath. Why did I walk away - so stupid. I know mentally I shouldn't - my husband was with him - I was gone 20 seconds. I ran back over and grabbed Tigger and held him - he flinched two more times and that was it. My husband says he knew I was there but 14 years together and all the days I gave him medicine to prolong his life for 3 extra months and I missed the end. That is what kills me.
I miss him soooo much -
Thank you for letting me vent this out - it is hard when others around you don't quite get the pain. My thoughts are with all the others on this board that have lost a precious baby - Kelly
