Pet Bereavement Support Group

The loss of a pet or animal to which one has become emotionally bonded can be an intense loss, comparable with the death of a loved one. Whilst there is strong evidence that animals can feel such loss for other animals, this community focuses on human feelings, when an animal is lost, dies or otherwise is departed.

I am new in this community, just joined just now. Anyhow, I lost one of my cats yesterday. She was hit by a car and my neighbor, who happens to be an asst at my vets office and was on her way to work, found her and took her to work and they had to put her to sleep. I was out of town and my hubby was at work. She was my G aunts cat and all I had left of her that was still alive! We have to go positively identify her body today. I am really looking forward to that.

I am so sorry for your loss. I read the post you posted after this one so got the jist. I lost my cat Podge (although quite some time ago, but it's still raw), he also got rundown. I know what you are going through. It's is such a tragic waste of life. I have sinced caused 2 car accidents stopping for a cat and lucky no one was hurt (including) the cat and the scary thing is I'd do it again as I can't bear anyone to go through what I went through the day he was killed. But please tell me about your cat, it will do you good to talk xx

It's really good to have ppl to talk to that understands our loss, not just an animal but one of our "babies" our children, as it were. I'm grateful to DS for this board.

I fully understand your loss and the heartbreak you are feeling. I also would run off the road to avoid any animals as stupid as many people have told me this is,I don't care.I will pray for strength for you at this horrible time.

Thank you all! It really is good to have people who understand, it makes me feel not so crazy to feel this way about an animal. I swerve and slam my brakes on for even a field mouse. I wish I could find who did this and have them arrested for murder. If I killed their child I'd go, well this was one of my children, so why don't they go? gaaaagh!! Anyhow, thanks for being here.

I agree anyone who runs over an animal and keeps on driving is the lowest form of human life. Don't worry people like that always get what's coming to them.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
