I lost my best friend of 17yrs yesterday. MzMouse was so special to me. She was in my arms when she passed. I told her she would see all her furry friends and she could run & chase all she wanted to. So if you all would be so kind as to look up & say a small prayer for her it would be appreciated. I didn't know that one person could cry this much. Thank You for any kind word you might have for her. I just know she can my heart breaking. I will say bye for now. Linda with out MzMouse
I'm so sorry for your loss, there are no words but we will send prayers for mzmouse and for you in this difficult time also. I also believe there is heaven for our well loved pets and they will be pain free and happy. Our hearts grieve for you. pattim2860(threecatsmommy)
Hi Linda, as I just finished signing your book I told all my 4 legged angels to give MzMouse some love. Then I check these posts and just exploded in tears. Its good to cry and I'm crying for you all, again a warm hug to you.
In the other post you mentioned that you might not want to do this again. I've said that every time. I have 7 rescued now. I might have to...............again.
MzMouse loves you so much and you know that. You both want eachother to be happy. Your a wonderful, wonderful Mom. If you can.......someday.......share that love some more. There will always someone who desperatly needs you.
I don't mean to be so blunt but sometimes we only have one chance to say how we feel. You have my shoulder and take all the time you need. Just don't hide your heart. Our friends may go but we'll ALWAYS have those precious memories they leave for us...... as they take ours with them. Bless your aching heart. Bless MzMouse you are truely missed. Love Melissa
I am very sorry. I will say a prayer for you and her. Im glad you were with her when she passed. Im sure she loved you too and being by her side when then end came is how it should be.
I lost my Novy last September and I still miss her so much. I think she will always be in my heart, and I feel blessed just getting to have her in my life for the time we had.
Hi Linda: I am sending you a hug this morning! I truelly am sorry that your beloved kitty isn't with you. I lost my remaining pet Puff on 7/31 & Muffin on 11/17. Their day to day presence is so missed. Your Precious MzMouse is in Heaven now & your Ebay Family is here to just love you. I grieved alot when my Puff Died because I raised him from 4 weeks old to 13 years. He was my very best friend..the love of my life! I will be praying for you. It's good to cry & remember the great times you and MzMouse had together. Pamela.
SO very sorry to hear the sad news. The price of absolute love for 17 years is profound grief when you lose a pet. I have many friends whose relationship with their cat lasted even longer and closer than their marriage! No wonder the mourning period hurts so much. You are in our thoughts, my good friend! With Sympathy, ~ ~ Linda and the 8 boys (all rescues)
Linda, I am so sorry for your loss. It always breaks my heart when we lose one of our sweet family members. I heard said once that everyone who comes into your life, good or bad, helps to shape your soul. I believe this applies to our loving pets also. I have 5 cat and 1 dog family members. My oldest cat turned 16 this past spring and our dog is 12 now. I am dreading their passings but they will always have a piece of my heart. Linda
Linda, I am sorry to say I have avoided your thread for a couple days. I should not have. Let me start by saying how sorry I am at your loss of Mzmouse. May I ask what happened? Losing a loved furfriend can be very hard. I know. You will be crying for a while, and it will hurt to think about her for a while. It seems unfair that we suffer all that pain, but remember this, if you had not loved her so you would not be this upset. Consider each and every tear a testament of your love and affection for her. And know that over time the pain will ease some, you will be able to think about her and not fall apart (or at least not every time) and the fond and wonderful memories of the times you shared will begin to break free and shine once again. But this can take some time, and you will require strength of will and from friends, loved ones and others in the mean time. But know that there are many of us on the board here who are happy to help, listen and talk. You are not alone. I owe you a reason I avoided the thread, don’t I? It was 4 years ago this month that I lost my soul cat, ^Hamlet^. I am mostly over his loss, but at times the wound is still raw, and September is one. I had a particularly difficult time this week as I finally gained the strength to throw away some old toys that were just no longer usable, but were his. It brought me to tears (hmm, sitting in a coffee shop and fighting to not well up as I enter this), and this was just a bad week. It is his icon I use on the board here, by the way. Anyway, my cats have a web site where there are a lot of other cat owners (or people owned by cats) who hang on the message board. They have all shared losses and are a great resource to talk to if you want. The web site is www.coolcybercats.com. On the site, if you click on the images of my cats on the main page you can read their bios. I personally find it comforting to share my pain with others and talk about it. So I warn you that the bios for ^Hamlet^, ^Itchy^ and ^Alec^ will bring most animal lovers to tears. I share not only their life but deaths. If you find it comforting to know others can know what you are going through, you are welcome to read them and the others. If you want to chat, the eBay neighborhood is a great place, so is my cats website and I am also only en eBay email (or you can email me through my cats site) away. Know that MzMouse is at the rainbow bridge and playing, running and jumping…. Waiting for the day she will once again be able to leap into your arms and show you how much she also cares and missed you too. In the mean time know that all her friends and many new ones are there showing her the ropes and keeping her company.
hoabobbies, thanks for reminding me. Linda I like to light a candle at home when someone loses their friend. I guess sitting here in a coffee shop and having my mind on ^Hamlet^ made me fail to tell you that I will be lighting a candle this evening in memory of MzMouse.
Olivia (the little one in the picture) and I are very sorry for your loss. We lost one of our friends last May after a battle with cancer. They say time heals all wounds so we take a small measure of comfort in knowing she is no longer in pain.
Dear Linda, I will be praying for you. Allow yourself time to grieve. And for as long as you need. Someday...we will all be re-united. If that is a picture of MzMouse , she sure was a beautiful cat! It's okay to cry and good to cry. It washes the pain away eventually and you will be left with beautiful memories. Linda M.
