Hi all
It's been 10 months since I lost my baby and I'm still struggling some weeks are fine and others are so bad, the guilt comes flooding back and the thought of never seeing him again still hasn't sunken in properly yet, everything reminds me of him I still cant look at pictures of him and I feel so bad for not thinking of him all the time but it hurts so much, I keep reliving everything that happened its like a very very bad nightmare, does it get any easier? I miss him so much.

It has been a harrowing experience, and the manner in which he died and the fact that he was so young makes it even more difficult to accept. You deeply loved him, so it is only natural that you grieve for him and miss him so much.
It will get better in time, but the sense of loss will always be there. The only thing you can try is to remember the good things, and cherish those memories like precious jewels. And though it hurts to know you will never see him or hug him again, Tigger hasn't left you, he is always with you, right there in your heart.

And there is no need to feel guilty, there is nothing you could have done. From what you told about it, I think he must have had FIP. Sometimes it just happens as quickly as this, my Daisy went exactly the same way. One day she was right as rain, the next day she was dying...

Try to cherish your beautiful memories of him, for he loved you as much as you loved him, and he deserves to be remembered with love and joy. You used to find joy in knowing him, loving him and spending nearly all of his short life with him. Now you must try to find that same joy in your beautiful, wonderful memories of him, so he will be remembered with tears of love and joy, and not with tears of sadness.

Thank you so much not knowing is the hardest part what if it was something that we could have prevented. He was definitely a mummies boy he knew he wasn't allowed to sit on my laptop so used to squeeze in the gap between my laptop and me and lay on his back like a baby he was so soppy, I never ever thought it would be this hard. x

FIP usually occurs in kittens and young cats up to the age of 2, and in ageing cats. Young healthy adults are hardly ever afflicted. They are most vulnerable when they are growing up and when they are growing old. But if they have FIP, it is sure to be lethal, sooner or later. Tigger probably carried the virus from birth......

It does get easier... with time. I lost my beloved Bruno to a car accident while I was away in the UK. He wasn't even 2. I adored him with all my heart. This was October 2010. There is still one song I can't listen to without crying ("Slow" by Rumer, for some reason), I've been able to talk about him for a little while now, and have just started looking at his pictures again. It has taken a long time, but I'm getting there, as will you. Hugs.

Thank you everyone I always come on here when I feel down and miss my baby because other people can relate and everyone is lovely, I think what does it is he was so young and was an indoor cat so was there all the time but there were strange signs like he used to chuck his head back when he was eating and had sort chug with his breathing all the little things I see now that could have been something but were so small all mount up I just miss him so much, my oh is getting me a cushion with a pic of him on for valentines day so I can still snuggle him x

I’m Still Here

Friend, please don't mourn for me,
I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day,
And within your heart I long to stay.

My body is gone but I'm always near,
I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart,
As long as you keep me alive in your heart.

I'll never wander out of your sight.
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach.
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.

I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around,
And the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond,
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.

I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring,
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
And you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.

When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
You can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
And you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.

I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep,
And the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
Just look for me, friend, I'm everyplace!

oh hunni I know exactly how you feel - it's 2 years this Easter since we lost Misha - that's longer he's been gone than he was alive

I still cry and go over a million 'what ifs'

Just remember - you gave him all the love and tenderness you could and he knows it, he's with you in your heart and entwined with your soul

One day you and he will be reunited in a way that you can play and cuddle each other again but until then you carry him inside

I think it's wonderful that you are getting him on a cushion to squish
