Little Quimby died today. He wasn't gaining weight like he should have been. Poor Ramona, now TWO of her babies are dead..

The chatters knew something was wrong, he hadn't moved in hours. But the mods kept saying, "he's fine". :/ NO, HE'S DEAD.
This sucks.. never watching another cat give birth again on here.

The way I have found to deal with grief, whether of a beloved pet (I had to put down a wonderful kitty last year) or a close family member, is to think of all the joy I had with the person or cat (etc), and cry about it. The more I cry, the more value I had out of the relationship.
As I cry, I thank God that I have so much to cry about. How much worse would the relationship have been if I had nothing to cry about?
As I cry, I remember all the good moments I enjoyed with that person or pet and I grieve their loss.
I think how every tear represents a blessing in my life because of that person or pet.
I grieve the lost of so an important relationship but I thank God that I had such a rich relationship to grieve over.
And I cry as often and deeply as I feel like. The more I grieve, the deeper the relationship was and the more I can thank God for it.
You have my tears for your loss.
