Glitterma--wish I had some magical words that could make the pain go away or could be there to hug you. I know exactly how you feel. Had to let our precious 16 year old kitty go about 8 years ago but in some ways, it seems like yesterday. We have no children so she was our only child & spoiled rotten. She had a great life though and free from any illnesses until the last couple of months so I'm very thankful for that and all the laughter and company she provided to us. We found her in a hospital parking garage with no coollar on to identify her, so we scooped her up and brought her home. She was only 4 months old. We fell in love with her immediately! Right after we got her, my husband's job sent him to Kansas City to work for a year (only home on weekends) so she was my roommate. LOL We loved her so much that to this day, my hubby hasn't been able to bring himself to get another kitty. He loved her deeply - much more than I fully realized, but....we have great memories of her and were just talking the other day about how she would love where we live now b/c we have lots of big windows where she could (and would) sit all day and talk to the birds. Your hurt is very real but we're here to help you through it when you need to talk (which helps to heal). That's what friends are for!

Oh Glittergma--
I'm so sorry. You were lucky to have Foster, and Foster was most certainly lucky to have you. You must feel very miserable, but it was worth it, having him, right? so there's that. And it sounds like he had the jolliest of lives with you. I know it's hard to believe right now, but you will feel less of the miserable and more of the happy memories one day not too far ahead. I'm glad you have distractions, and there should be plenty more, and happy ones, here in the coming month. Trivial, I know, given your loss, but trivial things can be magically successful at distracting you from nontrivial things sometimes. In the mean time, big TIGHT HUG, and hang in there, and don't let yourself get too down and lonely, okay? Again, so sorry.

Catz, what a nightmare! You are braver than I am! Maybe still having you Mom's house is not a bad thing. You could stay there while they are fixing your house.

Wow! I don't check in for a week and when I return I read about all that y'all have been facing. Catz: What a series of nightmares. I can't even begin to imagine how you can deal with all of that and stay sane. Of course, what choice do you have? It reminds me of a poster I once saw. It said, "When this shit is over, I am going to have a nervous breakdown. I have earned it, I deserve it, and no one is going to deprive me of it!" Adam is a wonderful respite of joy and beauty. I am glad that you have that outlet. And, know, you have your friends here as well. We may not be able to do anything productive from so far away, but we can listen, we can laugh and cry with you, we can scream with you, we can crack jokes and distract you with silliness.... please reach out and ask for whatever you need. In this forum, or in a PM. We want to help.
MzSue: How scarey a time with your sister. And with the other traumas of loved ones, it hits home how precious each day and each person is. Glad fate led you to be there for them. If we at ATop can do anything to help, please reach out again.
Glitterma, I share your tears. I have lost five pups over the past some years. Some people experience the loss so keenly, they cannot imagine getting another pet. My response was to celebrate and honor my friends by opening up my home to other dogs needing a loving home. It has resulted in me presently having eight dogs. Yeah, eight. Can't have too much of that special love they provide. I don't have any words to help ease the pain of your loss. But, know that I feel your grief. You were a good mom to Foster, and provided him with a great life, and a peaceful passing.
Damn, I love the people here at Atop!

Glitterma, I've been so involved with the start of the Adam storm that I haven't been here in days. I am so very sorry to hear about Foster! At one point in my animal-owning life I vowed to not have any more because of the pain of losing them. But that didn't last long. The joy they bring so far outweighs the pain and feeling of loss when it's time for them to go.

awwww Glitterma....I'm so, so sorry!! {{HUGS}} There aren't many words which will make you feel better right now - take comfort in the fact that you gave Foster a wonderful life. I'm one of those people who has sworn off pets as the pain of losing them is just too great for me. Kudos to all you loving people who manage to reopen your hearts and give another dear dog or cat a loving home.  mzsue....happy to hear that your sister is doing better...scary stuff. :( |
