This is from suppereeves & loss of her kitty:
My sweetest best kitty friend Gretzky passed away recently after 15 and a half great years and I'm soooooo sad I haven't been keeping up on things. He's the only living thing I've spent every day with in my life...
This is what I replied:
I am so sorry to hear of this sad news I know how it feels. I lost my buddy Ben after 14 yrs. a few years ago.
It helped me to blog. Missing a family member never goes away but the pain does ease.
I held a candle light ceremony for him at the rainbow bridge: http://www.rainbowbridge.com/
And had support there & posted my thoughts. It helped me as well, they have people who contact you through email if you want, they were helpful for me. As I was like you my only mate for so long being single, my love of me life.
After about 7 months I had to fill the void, I wasn't sure if I should or not I wasn't really ready. But, I bought a new female kitty Cali. And it did help, a lot, she makes me laugh everyday & helped me get over the sad times.
Always remember your buddy, loves you, & loved you & shared some special times with you. Something to cherish forever as they give so unconditionally. And Gretzky watches over you now & will always.
In time - you have the love to share, share it again with a new little loved one.
Keep smilin, & hope this helps. God Bless Always dd
