I can't stop crying!

[Archae]

Charlotte died yesterday, and I can't stop crying, I miss her so much.

1. I'm so sorry, I don't know what else to say that would help.

Losing a loyal pet is one of the worst things I can think of to endure.

[Diamond_Dog]

2. I am so sorry

I’ve been in your shoes before. I know how it feels. It will take time for the tears to stop but your kitty will always remain alive in your fond memories.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. I'm so sorry, my dear Archae. . .

It's a really tough place to be.

I cried daily, for weeks, after we put our Dalmatian down. She was my third daughter!

Hang on to your good memories--they will help.

[claudette]

4. So sorry

I know exactly how you feel. We lost our fur girl a week ago. My heart aches

[niyad]

9. Lady Bast, please take Your little one gently home in Your loving arms, and send peace

and comfort to her grieving loved ones.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious girl.

Words are of little help right now. In many philosophies it is advised that you cry as you must until it stops. That can be very rough on mind and body and I don't recommend extended grief that includes crying, physically. Knowing you are in that place, I've traveled that path many times, I will offer that in taking care of yourself, partaking of infrequent doses of lavender tea. It will ease some of the rawness and let you sleep when that comes. For now, that's the best I can offer after a big, long, tearful hug.

7. The best thing for me (and it still took months) was to walk nearby trails with few people or

the streets in the neighborhood in the wee hours and to allow me to cry or be sad--listening to sad music sometimes just to experience it all. Being outside and away from people while getting a little endorphin hit from the exercise was very cathartic. It still took many months and my final acquiescence to get another animal when I could that got me through it. But moving, being outside, and letting yourself "feel" without having to explain-- is my advice to you. It hurts like hell. No doubt about it. But that only underscores how special your Charlotte was to you.

8. It's been about 18 months since I lost Sophie and Morgan, and I still tear up, thinking of them

Same with Boudicca when I see a picture of a Tortie. They give us so much more than we give them.

[niyad]

10. Hugggggggs. Have been there so many times, so know somewhat of what

you are enduring right now. Please know that we are grieving with you, and here if we can help.

[Jirel]

11. I'm so sorry.

Cats are custom-made to break our hearts. You know the worst of the grief will subside, just not yet. She was ever so loved, and she loved you dearly back. Let the tears flow for now, and know that every one of us who has lost a cat-friend is crying with you.

[Archae]

34. One thing she loved to do...

Was lick my nose while purring.

I may get a new cat sometime, I don't know.

[FM123]

12. I am so very sorry.

I know that this is such a painful time for you, but you are not alone, we are here for you on DU.

[Karadeniz]

13. You'll reach the point where you appreciate the time you had more than the hurt her loss caused.

It's so difficult because you provided everything she needed for so long, definitely part of your life. Her energy cannot die.

[LiberalLoner]

14. I am so sorry for your loss. Our furbabies give us the purest, sweetest love

And although we often welcome new fur babies into our lives, it will never be quite the same again.

I have cried those tears many times before, and I have always concluded, the pain is worth it, for all those years of joy and pure love.

I hope your grief will lessen soon. I am so so sorry for your loss.

[RainCaster]

15. My Greta is very old, walk so slowly...

I know she will be gone before winter, so I treasure my time with her, and ignore all the extra care she requires.

Remember those happy moments with her, Archae. They are her legacy.

[Marthe48]

16. Of course you miss her

Cry until you are cried out.

[samnsara]

17. I am so very sorry for the loss of your sweet baby....(((hugs)))

20. I'm so sorry. Charlotte obviously was wonderful! The love you two shared was wonderful!

Charlotte's wonderful life stays true forever. The wonderful love you shared with Charlotte stays true forever!

[barbtries]

21. I'm so sorry.

Cry it out.

22. So sorry for your loss. We lost our dear little corgi this month.

We had to put Bilbo down on April 2nd. He was such a big part of our lives and routine. We still have another dog, but it was always the two of them trotting around together. Tomorrow we head to the beach (Oregon coast) for the weekend, and it is going to be so painful not to see the two of them running around together. The first week was so difficult, and I cried at the mention of his name. I am doing better, but reading your post made me cry again. As painful as it is, I am thankful that we had little Bilbo in our lives. I hope that each day becomes less painful for you.

[niyad]

31. Lady Bast, please take Your little Bilbo gently home in Your loving arms, and send peace

and comfort to his grieving loved ones.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious Bilbo.

[mommymarine2003]

33. Thank you.

[judesedit]

23. I'm sooo sorry, Archae. It is sooo painful. I'm sharing in your sadness. I still find myself

crying over Luke who died almost 10 years ago now. I'm sooo happy you got to share your life with Charlotte. She will be waiting on the Rainbow Bridge to rejoin you in the future. Cherish the memories. Maybe another kitty will find you and make you his or her own in the near future.

[LaMouffette]

24. I'm so sorry for your loss! Your post made me cry all over again for the two fur babies

we lost the first week of March. Please be kind to yourself and give yourself all the time you need to grieve for your loved one!

[femmedem]

25. I'm so sorry. She was family. Of course you miss her.

I've had many cats over the years--I have five now, all former neighborhood strays--and every time I've lost one, it's been awful. There was one who died quite young, whom we'd found as a feral kitten. We cried off and on for months. I don't know your circumstances, but for us it didn't ease up until we brought another pet into our home. Not that we could ever replace her, but it gave us somewhere to put our love.

For us, the grief has always eventually subsided until all that was left were were warm memories. I hope that becomes true for you, too.

[calimary]

27. I'm so sorry, Archae.

It’s weird - we have three cats, all recent arrivals in our lives. Young enough that we can reasonably assume they’ll be with us for more years. But not a day goes by that I don’t worry about that dreadful day when each of them leaves. Just can’t help it.

They leave paw prints on your heart for sure. Thanks so much for sharing this with the rest of us. It does help lift the load, at least a little bit. It means you don’t mourn alone.

[cate94]

28. I'm so sorry!

[MLAA]

29. Sending you love. RIP beloved Charlotte.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

30. I am so sorry for your loss

It is hard to say goodbye to a family member

[Ellipsis]

32. I'm sorry Archie.... 16 years though isn't a bad run

I know how you feel a couple times over.
