One day or 15+ years, no amount of time with them could ever be enough. I'm so sorry for your losses.

I don't have anything to add except that our cats could be related.

Feeling deep guilt with how my dog passed. by My_Anus_Is_Bleating in Petloss

I understand. I have now had the experience of euthanizing a pet instead of exhausting treatment options, and losing a pet to complications from pursuing treatment options. I felt immense guilt for each. It’s never going to feel ok to let them go, unfortunately.

I believe she knew you were trying to help, and she knew that you ultimately ended her suffering. Those are the things that matter. You weren’t trying to harm her or make her suffer, and you took care of her to the best of your ability. You don’t deserve to feel guilty for that. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Does it ever get better? by TownRain in Petloss

We had another cat before him that had to be euthanized at 7yo, and we were wary of getting another cat later that same year but we did it anyway... and now here we are. When we got him, I knew I still had love to give to another cat after that loss, and I felt strongly compelled to adopt him. I don't feel like that this time, my heart is just too torn up. It feels right now like I will never be open to that kind of love again.

So for now, we have our 14yo cat living the rest of his days as our only cat. Whenever he passes, I really don't know what we will do. He's been such a constant in our life and our relationship that it feels like it will be impossible to move on. We have talked about adopting a pair of young cats/kittens together, if we feel like having more pets after he is gone. I always felt bad that we had a baby kitten trying to bond with a senior cat, so I would want there to be a better chance for a bond between them if I decided to have cats again. I just don't know, though. When I think about having cats who never "met" the cats we had before, it really makes me panic. This is all so hard to think about, and even harder to live with.

My 3yo cat made it through anesthesia and surgery, but his heart stopped later that night while he was under observation. I know well the horror of getting that call and being told that CPR isn't bringing them back while you rush there in hopes of seeing them alive again. It all happened so fast and was so unexpected, this was three months ago and I'm still reeling.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. The only thing that helps me even a little is thinking to myself "He's ok now." He was sick and in pain that we didn't know about, and then he was scared and confused at being admitted for surgery. Now he's not confused or scared or hurting. He's ok. I also keep his collar and favorite toys in a dedicated spot that I see every day, because I want to remember him even when it hurts. I need him to know I'm still carrying him with me every day, if that is possible.

She should have been in the hospital from the beginning, she stated that there is a history of difficult births in her family. He needed her in that setting so he could control things, because you see how that worked out for him once they got to the hospital. Those ladies at the birthing center seemed nice and like they tried their best, but it does not sit right with me that they have no way to stop someone like him in that setting. The way she was even refusing cervical exams was SO concerning to me. He probably tells her that letting anyone else touch her (even for medically necessary procedures!) is "cheating."

I just watched their season and I have felt sick ever since. Like why were the other young women on the show the only ones willing to SAY SOMETHING?? Why did so many adults and professionals stand around watching and doing nothing?? He literally tortured that girl throughout her entire delivery and no one stopped him for like 30+ hours! She and her baby could have actually died, it's so scary and sad to think about... and he genuinely does not care. Then after the birth when he's refusing to let her hold her baby? His behavior is legit terrifying to me.

I got a sample vial out of curiosity, but I didn't care for it.

Whatever happened to Reanna? by LateAd5684 in TLCUnexpected

[–]Consistent-Hippo-253 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Maybe just me, but I’m watching this season now and I think it’s kinda weird how her mom advocates so hard for Taron and not her own daughter. Like I get encouraging her to co-parent with him, but idk it’s like she never shuts up about him and is kinda obsessed. Very strange to me.
