What a precious, lovely little girl she was, and is still. Not gone, only changed. And loving you still.
What a precious, lovely little girl she was, and is still. Not gone, only changed. And loving you still.
You have me in tears. Thank you so much xxWith her being the only survivor of a litter, I would think it was most likely genetic. Probably a heart defect. It was through your wonderful care and love that she lived that year. You gave that precious little girl her world, you gave her everything she wanted. She would be the last one to want you to feel so bad. Just as you would want her to on with a future full of happiness and joy, so she wants for you. Do not dwell on her end, it is nothing that can be changed, and it only brings heartache. Instead, concentrate on what she gave you, the simple joys of watching her, of loving her, and how much she embraced life.
The bond you formed with her can never be taken from you. Use it and your precious memories to bring you comfort, and know that that bond will always keep her near. Her new path will forever parallel yours, because what you shared was spiritual, so eternal.
My heart goes out to you, it hurts so very badly to not have them fill our lives and our homes. But she is safe, she is at peace because she knows you will always have a secure place for her in a loving heart. Bless you for taking such good care of taht little angel. Take care of yourself now, there are others who rely on you..... RIP sweet Rosie. You will never be forgotten, you will be forever missed. May the good Lord bless and keep you, until you meet again!
Thank you a very tough day today, typical Sunday was her and I cuddled up on the sofa. I just came across this site when I was searching for answers online and thank god I did.I am very sorry for you loss. The bond you shared with Rosie can never be broken. It lives on in a special place in your heart through the memories of the time you shared together. Those memories will always remain with you. You did everything you could for Rosie. You gave her what she wanted most in life a home filled with love with her human. What if's are a part of the grieving process but please know you have nothing to blame yourself for here. Everyone grieves differently and at different paces. Be kind to yourself while you are grieving. You have many people here to support you during this difficult time. Please reach out to talk whenever you need to. Hugs during this very difficult time. Rosie is now an angel watching over you.
One of my friend's had a cat pass away in his sleep. Her baby had been to the vet for his annual check-up about a week before this happened. The best explanation my friend's vet could come up with was the Ripley had some sort of heart defect that caused a heart attack while he was asleep. Ripley was 2 or three years old when he passed away unexpectedly in his sleep. I used to cat sit for Ripley a lot since my friend traveled for work. It took a long time for both of us to stop blaming ourselves for his death. I spent time with him that day before she came back from her business trip and there was nothing different going on with Ripley that made me feel like he may be sick. My friend wondered if she missed something because she was traveling. Sometimes all the love in the world can not fix things. Her vet also told her heart defects can not always be fixed and all the money in the world would not have guaranteed a different outcome for Ripley.
My beautiful baby Rosie. Too purrfect for this world
That's beautiful! Was that a gift or did you write it?
Trust me its not odd. You just have a higher level of empathy for non-human creatures then the typical person. And that's a very good thing. Here is a great quote related to that sentiment from Gandhi:Thank you a very tough day today, typical Sunday was her and I cuddled up on the sofa. I just came across this site when I was searching for answers online and thank god I did.
I think some of my friends and family think I have lost the plot but they simply don't understand the love I have for her. She wasn't 'just a cat' like they are thinking. I love her more than some of them as odd as that may seem. It's a cruel world we live in. I am sorry for your loss of Ripley x
