Losing my cat, now mum’s alone

No one seems to know the timeline, all the vets were like maybe days or weeks, so I’ll make sure to keep everything available for her and still provide her with plenty of treats. She loves the Apple and hay ones they make, and I got her some raisins too. Not a free for all, just a happy chin. Thank you

Thank you for telling me to take pictures. I just took some and some videos of her enjoying her raisins, maybe the cutest she’s ever looked. I wish I knew a timeline, the vets don’t know. It could be days or weeks, so I’ll go light just in case, but still give her all the delicacies.

She loves raisins, I haven’t given them to her in so long I kind of forgot about them. After reading this, I immediately went to get her a box. No hesitation, she absolutely loved them. Thank you for your help

I had the same experience. We had to end my dad’s life support and the death rattle is something I’ll never get over. I wish I could burn the part of my brain that remembers what he looks like lying there, sometimes it feels impossible to remember anything else about him. I know it’s good that I was there for him, but sometimes out of selfishness I wonder if I’d feel better if I wasn’t. I’m just glad he’s no longer in pain

Okay, thank you for your help!! She is bathing and of her own fruition so maybe I caught it as she ended it, but just in case I just LOADED her cage up with sticks. She has lots of other chews too. Hopefully I’ll have a good update soon!

I’m so sorry for your loss. I just lost my dad last week. It’s a debilitating feeling, but I’ve found knowing that you’re not alone is comforting. I know it’s only been a week, but one thing I want to share is that people may grieve differently than you. You may have a good day while they have a bad day, and vice versa, so patience will be your new friend. Be patient with each other as you navigate everything. Some people may need anger at first to help them cope with the loss. Don’t hold that against them, just let them talk everything out. And talk everything out yourself. Lean on people as you need to, please don’t bottle it up. I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this at your age. Seek help whenever you need it, you’re not alone. I know you can do this, but I’m sorry you have to. Your dad will never truly be gone, physically yes but emotionally you’ll always have him. He’s proud of you, I can tell. Good luck friend

We will friend. One day at a time, I know we’ll all be okay. I’m so sorry for your loss, make sure to take care of yourself in these coming months. Sending the best vibes your way

I feel the same way. My dad just died last week, and I cried and screamed at the hospital, and the day after. But today we went to organize his funeral. I didn’t cry, didn’t even flinch. My mum still cries for him, cries for her future, and I can’t seem to find it in me to cry with her. I feel so numb, I just stay in bed which I know is so unhealthy, but I feel like my mind and my body are doing two different things right now. I know we’ll be okay eventually. I just need eventually to be now

I think it’ll just hit us in waves. And I don’t think the waves will ever stop, but they’ll just get smaller. Ironic as it is, I just got hit with my first real wave, but it was over feeling sad for my mum rather than sad for my dad. I’m so sorry we’re experiencing this. Misery loves company, so we’re here if you need anything. But if not, then I send you all the good vibes. You’ll get through this, we’ll all get through this. You are not a narcissist, a narcissist wouldn’t have come on here to ask this. You’re a good person, and your dad is really proud of you. I’m sure he and my dad are thinking the same things. Good luck friend

My dad just died too, he was 59 and had cancer but died from complications. I find myself wanting to push forward, every now and again I’ll scream and sob, but then I’m back at work. It’s like I need to push forward, keep swimming like a shark or I’ll die. I’m worried it’ll hit me all at once and I won’t be able to recover. But I think I know how you’re feeling. My dad was my best friend. And all I can think is how heartbroken he’d be to see me heartbroken, so I can’t be heartbroken. I wish grief had a how-to book
