I was suicidal and even deranged after Little Dude died. I thought something was wrong with me. After all, they are no humans, how horrible to lose a child it must be.
I am still grief and guilt ridden over several of my cats from the past. I took comfort in the story about the Rainbow Bridge.
When I lost Little Dude, I was totally towed under with grief and sorrow. I did think there was something horribly wrong with me. This was in the 90s. I searched, too, for answers. Why did it feel like I lost a child? Did I have a right to feel that same magnitude of pain and loss? I am sending you a photo I found about that time in you FB PM. I also discover the Rainbow Bridge story too, and a pet grief support site. It really helped. Somehow this made me remember that book THE LITTLE PRINCE.
An animal who shares space with you is a member of your family, animals bring so much to our lives.
I have lost many cats and dogs and it never gets easier, but with time the pain eases and the positive memories we have of them remain.
Thank you, Elaine. I appreciate the kind note.

Yes, that story is comforting. Don’t feel grief, Sandi. Remember the happiness you gave them. R

I have great old foto from early 1900s, and gravestone for a cat, that sums this all up so well.
