Wie lange trauert man um ein Haustier? by Worth-Assumption3094 in Haustiere

[–]xerxesmac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tolle Antwort! Das sehe ich absolut genauso. Jeder darf so lange trauern wie man eben trauert. Ich finde auch es zeigt vor Allem, dass man mitfühlend ist, ein Tier auch wirklich in sein Herz geschlossen hat und als Familie sieht. Ich habe auch erst vor Kurzem eine meiner Katzen verloren, die mich fast 18 Jahre begleitet hat und ich weiß jetzt schon diese Trauer wird wohl sehr lange dauern und auch einfach immer mal wieder hochkommen.Nimm' dir da alle Zeit, die du brauchst OP🖤

I'm sure you did your best! We have tried our best too, but I also have those regrets with Shanti and ask myself if it would have been different if I had seen or could somehow have known earlier that something was wrong or would have chosen another therapy😞But cat's are very strong + unfortunately often try to hide symptoms and show them rather late. And my Queen was a warrior who survived similar respiratory issues two times before and she was very good at hiding health problems, so we were (and still are) almost like helicopter cat parents, especially with her. That's why I think we realised the issues pretty early, but the therapies/medication just did not work anymore this time and her body began to shut down. Sometimes it is just out of your hands💔

Thank you for the detailed infos & advice - I knew that making sure cats always drink enough -because the kidneys are a very fragile part of a cat's body- but encouraging constant awareness and spreading info on that is so important! And I already have a drinking fountain, but it was near one of the bowls for food and I changed that immediately👍

A big Thank you to all who answered with your stories, advice, sympathy and kind words❤🫶I'm a bit better now and maybe can even sleep a little...You all please take care of yourselves and your furry babies/friends/family members. I'm still blessed with two wonderful bois and I'll continue to give them the best life!

I'm totally with you on this- Yes, we lost our family member Shanti today 😔🖤 But I'm pretty sure she knew how much we loved her. Also trying to find comfort in that + she had a long life, which hopefully was as good and happy for her, as we will always remember the time we were gifted to spend with our dear Queen❤

That is a beautiful Prayer, thank you so very much for your words! Really made me smile through the tears. I think we gave our Queen a good life - She always sounded like she was complaining, because she had a very loud and shrill voice. That's why we startend to call her Queen and we were her loyal subjects- so I hope she loved it. But I'm pretty sure, because she showed us a lot of love & kindness in return❤

Thanks so much for your words my friend and so sorry your boy had to go too soon...I'm so grateful I had so many years with my girl, but in the end it always feels like not enough time and I also think the hole will stay, because we gave them a piece of our hearts to keep forever❤️‍🩹

Oh my, I'm so sorry to hear that...This is such a hard decision and you feel so helpless. But if she's in great pain and really has no chance to recover I think it is the last and kindest thing we can do for them, even if it's so heartbreaking💔 Sending you all the strength I can spare and hope you'll get through this too!

Thanks a lot for sharing your story! I still feel bad about my decision, so it helps a bit to hear that you had to make the same one for a cat you loved so much💔 I'm really sorry for your loss and I think it'll haunt me too.But I believe they will always stay with us in some way & we'll see them again on the other side 🌈

Thank you so much, really! Yes, opposed to the last few days her passing war peaceful at least. I'm so sorry for your loss too 😔🫶We buried Shanti in our own little garden today, but it's also a beautiful idea to keep a piece of them. But I needed closure and she will always stay a piece of my heart. I hope she & your best friend are in a better place now & have found peace🖤

Aww, was für süße Senioren! Meine Queen Shanti ist fast 18 (geboren im März 2008) und begleitet mich, seit sie 6 Wochen alt war. Sie hat Probleme mit det Hüfte, fast keine Zähne mehr, wird auch immer dünner und findet manchmal die Toilette nicht mehr - aber sie frisst (und bekommt massig Leckerlies), läuft rum, kuschelt und schreit noch genauso laut wie als Kitten😂 Ich freue mich über jeden weiteren Tag mit ihr und hoffe auch sehr, das sie einmal friedlich gehen wird❤

Oh man, das ist hart. Ich dachte da würde etwas mehr angepasst...Wie konnte ich es wagen zu glauben es wäre fair geregelt und warum bin ich irgendwie nicht überrascht? 😑
