What a terribly sad story MaxQz :crying: and with your kitty gone too there's nobody to cuddle.

We're here for you. Sending strongs.

Thank you, it's greatly appreciated.

Well, I still have his brother to cuddle, but yeah, the household just feels so different and empty now, and I even feel guilty having to give all my attention to only him now.

After my pets died I thought I was never going to have any more. Way too many died. Way too much hurt. But I then chose to get pets others would not take. So when you are ready - get a cat that is about the age of your current one. Give another older cat a chance at a good life. And it won't tie you down as long as getting a kitten would.

My mindset has definitely always been in that direction... strays, rescues, adoption. All my pets past and present fit in those categories. Funny you should mention getting my only pet I have left a companion, because that's exactly what I'll be doing, I'm an animal lover. :thumbsup:

I really love that - a very healthy attitude. Yes it hurts so much when we lose them - but it is so worth having had them in our lives. And there are so many looking for homes.

She was in stepdown after hospital (3 weeks) then palliative care (6 days). I am happy for her as she was in agony the last week. sad that I am going to miss her and feeling guilty that I am glad her suffering is over. Will somehow have to find acceptance, losing someone you cared for and loved is never easy.

Agony even with fentanyl patches (one patch every 5 days) + morphine pills (2 pills 2x daily) + paracetamol (2 pills 2x daily). that is one massive dose of painkillers and it was not helping anymore.

We feel a lot of things with that void that is left and don't judge yourself too harshly, just give yourself some time to process everything. There's no right or wrong way to grieve. Take care of yourself and any loved ones in these moments.

Doctor did say with the chemo it is just buying time. Well today she passed.

I am really sorry. It is ok to feel relieved for her. We never want to see our loved ones suffer. It is going to be hard, but you were there for her. She was loved and knew it. All we can really do is love our people as best as we can.

Sorry for you loss. It's ok to feel that way especiallly as you don't want a loved one to be in agony. The worst situation to be in is for it to be drawn out and they are suffering. Even though it is painful now, you can at least get some comfort that her pain is over.

It was the same way with my mom 2 weeks ago. Cancer came back and in the end she said she wants to go and can't carry on ith the pain. Morphone meds were slowly increased and eventually she passed peacefully.

Hope you have family and friends around you in these difficult times as it helps a lot. Think about all the good times and memories with your mom.
 
Oh my goodness....so much loss of late
Considering I started this thread, I just wanted to give those who've lost loved ones, my deepest condolences.
Life can be so very cruel sometimes and I send you all strength x

This is like the 3rd or 4th person I know that died from brain cancer... I thought it was rare. Edit: shame she is the only child and never spoke to her father (well he wanted nothing to do with her). Its horrible :(

A friend of my mother's husband died from it. It is incredibly painful as it destroys your brain one section at a time. And you see yourself decaying. It is often from people who don't realise they have skin cancer on their heads. They were afraid my mom's had gone through the skull but luckily it seems not yet.

Jussus...I'd rather go for euthanasia than live like that until I die. At least the family will have full closure and acceptance that way after speaking to them/Wills/Goodbyes etc before departing.

They say cats and dogs can pick it up. With my last two boxers, the eldest kept licking the younger one's stomach, though she seemed in good health. We thought she was putting on weight - she was only 4. She died of stomach cancer. Sadly the eldest died of cancer too - she had it in the liver. She was six. I believe it is due to rigorous inbreeding.
