It has been 2 years this June since Louise left us.
And this Friday will be 1 year since Mr. Handsome, aka Charles, left us.
Grief is subjective. We all process loss differently. Having lost so many fur companions over the years, I guess I found my way to deal with the hole they all left in my heart. Don’t think that it is easy just because I can move forward. Look at the Angels Page and you will meet them all. I like to remember all the personalities of my cats, dogs, and guinea pigs. Each one was unique. Some were very serious (Louise, for sure), some had awesome senses of humor (Squash and Kitty), and others were cuddle bugs (Muffy). I feel blessed to have shared moments with these creatures. They are my heart. They heal me in a way that nothing else does. And, when it was their time to walk over the rainbow bridge, whether it was only a few years on the planet or many, I tried to provide them with the most compassionate and humane care possible. Those tough decisions were some of the hardest I ever had to make. I remember them all and can tell you stories about each one. They will always be burned on the memory of my total recall. When my brain no longer functions as it should, I hope I still remember the animals (sorry human family).
In memory of: 2024 Noel (cat), 2023 Charles (dog), 2022 Louise (dog), Sofie (dog), Nine (cat), 2012 Constance Kitty (cat), The Muffin Man (Muffy) (cat), 2010 Cuddles (cat), Georgia (guinea pig), Zachary (cat).

It doesn’t matter how many times you go through this kind of grief it never gets any easier, does it? The empty hole they leave in your heart and home is always the same. Huge and terribly painful. The only relief I’ve found is to wait a month or so and then give another homeless furbaby a loving forever home. The angels we have lost can never be replaced. The best we can do is give our love to another needy fur child in their memory. 💔

Absolutely, Chi. After Louise left us, Jolie came to stay. After Charles left us, Bearnard join us. Each one special in their own way doesn’t stop me from missing the ones that are gone, but it distracts me to look at the future.

Exactly!! To the outside world it looks like we are rescuing the new fur baby. But to us this new furry soul is the medicine we need to heal our grieving heart. They do more for us than we could ever do for them!! 🩷

Over the past 10 years, I have lost 14 cats so I understand. The grief seems cumulative and keeps getting worse each time. We never forget those we love. Sending you hugs as you remember your angels. xo
