How is your day going?

@Amberpearl I know it won't feel like it now, it's alot harder as you have had more loss than just Toby, they have all had an important part in your life for many years. You say they all passed peacefully which shows they were all well looked after and loved being with you. I never forget my pets who have passed i feel their presence still around but with time ive been able to remember the happy times. Grieving is different for everyone, im already worried about my 13yr dog as he is getting older and I love him as my best friend. There are I think? charities for those who have lost pets, prehaps you could reach out to any of them for support with your Grieving. Lots of good people on this site are here to help you talk about your grief. Prehaps when you are feeling up to it, post some pictures of your loved pets. Eventually you may even feel like you could offer a home to a new cat, unfortunately their are alot of rescue cats needing loving homes. Hugs.

They were all loved so very much

I've had pets all my life

I can't be without them.they bring me great comfort and joy

The pain of losing them is horrible

Good afternoon.. feeling so so.

I think I got a virus. It is something between a cold and flu. Not sure what it is. . My anxiety and mental health not great . Rather bad.

It is very sad when a cat a dog etc .. go. I still remember my cat and it was more than 30 years ago. I do not want any cat as I do not really want to get through the trauma.

Hopefully you are all ok. I think the weather and the cold and humidity of my room paid a roll on me being sick with this virus.

Sorry you're not feeling well @Schildpad, there's lots of nasty stuff about at the moment. Hope you're feeling more like yourself soon!
