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.
yesterday letter from doctor----"abnormal urinalysis"; sheep me conned into blood and urine test 2 weeks before my cat to sleep.
last 6 months of my cat's illness i was self-medicating with comfort food of LOTS of ice cream, LOTS of soda, a donut at store on highway as excuse for buzz to walk from there to walmart, lots of soda, and some wine high in suger. I don't even want to write down what i probably have early stages of.
another year of my cat being so sickly and i'd be dead. I was a mess Friday a week ago, lots of crying over my cat, lost 10 pounds in a week worrying over him---and now Saturday, 8 days later, I'm thinking less of my gone cat and more of keeping myself alive.

A tree outside where I live is dying, seemingly from dog urine----with the bully in my building going out his way to not only have his dog urinate there but to have the dog urinate on the fence and sign I bought to try save the tree----and then slide the sign under my apt door.Turns out that was a TRIGGER for me----bullying and humialtion right out of high school. I didn't realize it at the...
Take care of yourself now... In whatever way you can...
All my heart to you, Lila...
and thank you, Lilaolivia.
all the health info I knew, and would look up on internet----all went out of my brain during last year of worrying about my cat.
today start of radical diet and exercise, to, hopefully, not make anything worse.
thank you, again.
by 3 oclock today I drank 3 quarts of water (the leftover bottle I bought for my cat), 2 litters of tea, biked 9 blocks, popped lots of aspirin, and gonna be doing some more exercises at home later. Gonna also be buying some bagged lettece/salad fixings at store later, to force myself to eat.
tomorrow usual 4 mile total bike ride to walmart for milk thistle pills, to pop them instead of aspirin.
I was in some major dark hole when my cat was sick.
I think taking care of yourself and not over indulge is the best you can do for yourself and to honor Vincent. Everything in moderation is something my Mom used to say.
Please be kind to yourself. xoxo
my apt was a mess for a week, after my cat was gone...it was clean when he was alive, despite his throwing up.
coffee didn't help me, to get out of my depression, despite my pouring instant coffee crystals into everything I drank, including orange juice and soda.
yes, everything in moderation....I lived on coffee, to learn it high in iron, which is bad for your blood/liver, so, that's the end of that addiction for me.
my cat lived to be 20, which is more than one third of my life was spent with him, including over 20 hours a day together.
YOU have to watch out for junk food---too much suger can ruin your liver; my suger days are over.
milk thistle and turmeric curcumin, sold at walmart, is supposed to help with immune system; I've been popping a lot of them in the last week.
for about the last week, I've been forcing myself to eat a pint of tomatoes a day; lots of anti-oxidents....my hometown grocery store has grape tomatos for $1.99 pint, mix them with other healthy food, while watching sopranos dvds, with them constantly eating something with tomatos in it;)
