Aw, deep condolences to you at this difficult time. I am so sorry that your dear kitty passed over the Rainbow Bridge. It is amazing how bad that can hurt. I mean, we know we love them when they are here, but there is a deep pain when they go.

I hope that as time passes, you are able to remember the happy times with a smile rather than tears.

Donna, I'm so terribly sorry. I know this came as such a shock to you. Please know that your precious Rocky is okay now and happily smiling down on you. She's not in any pain anymore or will ever be. Please take care of yourself during this difficult time your having. It will get better and brighter again.

Thank you Lisa...
I can't stop crying........... I am just devistated.
Waking up Christmas morning, giving my other kitties their presents.. trying to be happy for them... and all I can do is cry.
I want my baby girl back so badly.

I haven't told many of my friends...... been avoiding phone calls.... each time I have to tell the story, it tears me up more.

I want to hide and not face the world right now.

Sorry to sound so pathetic..... the pain is just so intense at times.

I am so sorry for your loss. I am crying with you.

This pain is unbearable.

I want her back with me...... I love her so much.

Out of the blue, one day she is fine, next day kidney faliure........ She spent four days at the emergency vet, one at a critical care vet getting dialysis...... nothing worked to restore her one kidney function. (she only had one kidney.... it was discovered while in the hospital)


A big hole is in my heart.

And feel I had to tell someone, someone/someothers who know the dispair of losing their precious baby.

I can't even include my signature, because it was "our" Christmas signature.

Condolences on your sad loss This is a difficult time of year for such a separation; the year changes and you enter the New Year without your heart's joy physically next to you ..."Time is a great river, and it carries me away from you" ...I pray that your heart finds healing and that soon memories of your kittykat will bring smiles and not just tears. She is enjoying her reward over RB, with all our other TCS kitties who have passed - and I'm sure that they're all comparing notes about us Hugs, Susan

Thank you Susan, for you kind words and support.

Tomorrow is a week... since I lost my precious angel, that was sent to me from God. (I have no doubts about that)

I just have a hard time grasping the whole rainbow bridge thing... my grief is blinding me. IF I know God sent her to me, then why can't I see/know that she is safe with him now? Is this part of grief... the not being able to grasp the "rainbow bridge" thing?

Besides the complete devistation I feel...... I worry about my baby, is she sad like I am?
She was a "mommy's girl" and needed me........ I see now, I needed her more!. And my heart breaks that she might be feeling even the tinest dispair that I am feeling.

I want my baby back!

Longing to have them back makes it so much harder to say good-bye to them. Somehow you have to find a way to let her go. The Rainbow Bridge helps a lot of people with that. She has surely gone to God. She is in the best possible hands. She is looking down on you with love and peace and wishing you the best just as she did when she was alive.

My heart is breaking for you. It is so hard to lose our loved ones.

So sorry to hear that, it is hard enough to lose a beloved pet, never mind so close to Christmas. I think it is harder when it is so unexpected, at least when they are diagnosed with something and it is your decision when to let them go you can spend loads of time with them, and start to come to terms with things, but when it is sudden, it is so much harder. I know how you feel with ignoring people, that is why forums are so good, no one can tell how much you are crying, and you can get all your feelings out - I still cry when I talk about the cat I lost nearly a year ago.

Donnafay.

I can hear your cries of pain and loss in my heart. I am sorry for the devistation you feel at Rocky's loss.
Nothing I can say will make it better for you. Time and faith in your beliefs will help you now more than anything.

You said Rocky was sent to you as a blessing. Maybe her job was done. Maybe she had to move to open room for another gift, who knows the "what ifs' can go on forever.

I cannot compare my losses to yours, but i can let you know that we all share in your feelings of love and loss for our pets.

When i first read the Rainbow Bridge poem, I did not know what to make of it. I cannot envision such a place.
However, as cats came and went in my life both cats that have owned me and cats i have tried to help resuce. I just know there has to be some place for animals to go. Pets feel love like we do.

I know you must have had many times looking into Rocky's eyes and seeing the love and intellegence in her eyes that spoke only to your soul. I know you must have had times in your life when all seemed to be wrong, and suddenly Rocky showed up and was there for you. There had to be times when Rocky needed you and you just knew to go looking for her.
Those times show that there is a bond of love between you that cannot be explained. it just is. That kind of love does not lay blame. love like we share with our pets is honest and forgiving. At least the love the pets gives us is. Not everyone gives that kind of love back to their pets. But you do. I do and all of us at TCS do.

That essense and love cannot just disappear after we/they die. It is to strong.
It is why the rainbow bridge must exist in some fashion.

That is why Rocky is not suffering anymore. That is why she is happy and holds not blame for you. That is why she is playfully waiting for you on the other side of this life. The only thing comforting you and her are your memories of the love you shared while you were together.

I hope your heart heals and feels the joy of the time shared together.

Donna, as I was trying to deal with the loss of my kitty, Candy, on Dec. 27, due to kidney failure, your post about Rocky was the first I read here. It promped me to post a eulogy to Candy. It is truly theraputic to share our grief with others who truly understand and care.

As I shed tears for Candy, I'll be thinking of your Rocky as well. As the holidays come next year, I know we'll both be thinking of our little friends. (When we have to lose them, why at such a memorable time of the year?)

My thoughts are with you - may your heart heal and be filled with memories of Rocky.
