SUDDENLY & without warning... my baby is gone

[Lindacarroll]

Hello,

My sweet girl.... my 10 year old health kitty suddenly passed away yesterday.

She was fine when I left, but came home after work and she was hanging on by a thread.... gasping for breath.

I'm so sorry Shadow for any pain that you may have felt when I wasnt there for you. Thank you for holding out and waiting for me to come home before you left me. Even though I only had minutes with you before you passed on, I am very greatful that you were in my arms when you died.

You were my sweet angle and you will be miss sooooo soooo much.

We love you Shadow - more than mere words can express.

Linda, I hope you can be comforted in knowing you gave Shadow 10 wonderful years of unconditional love....I'm sure that love will carry her as she enters her new journey.

Thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time...(((HUGS)))

Traci,

Thank you.... I know your right, its just so hard right now --- I keep tearing myself up with the "what if's" and "should of's". I keep thinking that I should of just held her and let her peacefully die in my arms at home rather than frantically running out to the vets with her where she died moments later anyway... but I guess it was just wishful thinking on my part that she might have been saved. Then I keep going over the events of the morning.... she didnt want to go in the basement (where her food and litter is) but I forced her, I carried her down anyway, dispite her not wanting to go. Thinking NOW it would have been a lot nicer for her to be in the warm living room rather than the cold basement floor where I found her in the sad shape she was in. And lastly I am kicking myself now for not having her examed after she died to find out why???? Would have helped (I think) in excepting what in the heck happened.

All these questions in my head are driving me nuts. I am a basket case at work today, I shouldnt of even come in. Last night got NO sleep and expect the same for many more nights.

I love animals sooooo soooo much, but this part of life is so unbearable. I just want her back.

I am sorry for the loss of your Shadow...it is very hard for us left when they leave us suddenly...
remember she is now at peace and no pain...she knows you gave her a wonderful ten years and I am sure she is wishing you would not worry and tear yourself up over her leaving...

Peace be with you during this difficult time...

Thank you.... everyone for your kind and caring words.

I am still dealing with a lot of guilt and all that.... but trying my best to focus on the good times I had with her. I DO realize just how fortunate that I was that she held on till I got home. To have found her dead on the floor would have been HORRIBLE!!! I at least got to hold her during her last few minutes. I am very greatful.
