What aweful news Wellington. I don't know how I would deal with it, but I know I would be beside myself in grief.
Please know that it was NOT your fault, nature has it's way of doing things, and we have absolutely no control sometimes over it. Mother nature can be so cruel
It's easy for us to forget the dangers in birthing, even under the best of circumstances, for all animals, including us. Yes, this sort of thing happens even to humans, in a modern hospital, with attending physicians and all. How could you fail her? There was no way you could know there was even a problem.
i am so so so sorry to hear about the loss of your Tales, your heart must be broken right now. you loved her so much and you gave her the best life ever, do not blame yourself, you were a great mom to her.
I have always loved seeing pictures of your little beauties, and my heart breaks for Tales. You are still a wonderful cat mommy, and don't ever forget that
I'm so, so sorry. You didn't fail Tails so please don't beat yourself up. Tails is a happy, healthy little girl again who knows her babies are in safe hands with you
If you havent posted already in the lounge about your stepdad please start a thread so we can be kept updated, because you need extra support right now
Iam so shocked and saddened to hear this news.You never let her down. You gave her love and made her feel safe. To come home and find her that way is very upsetting to me. Bella and I are reaching out to you in support and friendship. There are no words to make this pain go away. Just have faith and find peace in knowing that she is in a wonderful place now. You will be able to feel her in your arms again someday.When one of us suffers a loss like this we all feel it. Much love--Bella and me
Oh, Sam!! What a shock to read this news! I'm so, so sorry. Please don't blame yourself for something that happened so quickly, so unexpectedly. You know as well as any of us how good kitties are at hiding any problem -- presumably even more so for a Mum Kitty, who hasn't time for "weakness" when she has a family to raise.
RIP Sweet Tales
and know that your babies will be well taken care of.
too for your StepDad. This is too much, all at once.
I am so sorry for the loss of your little girl. It is certainly a shock. Last February I lost my sweet Spot suddenly. I thought it would be a simple vet visit and I brought her home and buried her.
I am so sorry to hear about Tales. If there was anything that you knew needed to be done, there is no doubt you would have moved Heaven and Earth to do it for her. Please don't blame yourself.
Our deepest condolences to you. You didn't fail her at all so don't blame yourself for it. She wouldn't want you to. She is watching over you with love and knows that you will take great care of her kittens. We are here for you.
I am so sorry that this happened, but you must not beat yourself up about it. It is not your fault. We all know that these things happen and cannot be prevented. Look after her babies, tell them they had a beautiful mama, and maybe you will keep one of them to always remind you of your beautiful girl.
