I’m looking for a verse, that one of the members had posted on this forum. But I can’t find it, the verse was when your fur baby dies, your routines change, meaning no more testing, setting an alarm. Being home a certain time. I’m hopping someone on here can find it and post it for me.
This week has been a struggle, I’m a mess really. Molly was my best friend. It’s going to take a long time!
I miss posting on here, I was on here every day for 4 years. Another routine gone!
 
:bighug::bighug::bighug:Can’t help with that but what helped me was gathering info for a tribute to Max. It took some time before I was ready to post it though.

Your description reminds me of this piece but this is about kitty going OTJ, not passing on:

Awww Adrienne, we all pray time will gently heal your pain, and then the memories will shine through brightest. :bighug::bighug:
I did quite a few searches for you, trying different key words, there are many beautiful posts, most heartwrenching and lovely, but so far i have had no luck finding one that matches your description. I will keep trying, hopefully someone else will recall it, and we can find it for you. :bookworm:
 
Adrienne, does it look like what your're looking for?
This is from @Olive & Paula from this thread
"When Smokey crossed I didn't know what to do with myself. There was no more testing, making his food, shopping for his supplies, feeding every 2.5 hrs (could never get him to 3 hrs). First time husband I went out, husband says, this is strange we don't have to be home to give shot or feed Smokey, we can stay out as long as we want. We ended up eating dinner in silence and just went home.
It's not easy. Just takes time to develop a new normal."
 
As others said you don't have to leave the Forum, you are part of it! You could just chat on the Community & Off Topic, PM friends on the Forum or if you feel like it, have new members often overwhelmed benefit from your experience and great empathy.
You do what makes you feel better!

All this is not easy to go through, I know.... I can hardly believe that Monday it's gonna be a month since my lovely Ti-Mousse left me !!!
Try to keep very busy, it helps a little.... :bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Many of us are still here years later. We are all a special family. :bighug::bighug: I found that helping others, especially those with newly diagnosed cats, helped me too. I also donated the supplies to rescue organizations that could use them. Most of all, take the time you need, this is a huge change for you.

Six years later, AMPS is still an alarm on my phone. It took a long time to be able to sleep past that. My current cat, who never knew Neko, knew a kitty that knew Neko and still likes to get fed at PMPS time. Some traditions are passed from cat to cat and hard to break. I found that for the first little while after Neko passed, if I was out of the house in the evening, I got really nervous at PMPS time.

Like Elise said, I found making the tribute really helpful. But it took a while (1 year). The act of looking and sorting through photos was what helped me.
 
Thanks everyone!
Today I started back to the gym. I did feel better after that. I did donate Mollys medication to the SPCA, hopefully it can help another cat or dog. Her food and some toys, I donated to a feline organization here in town.
Rodney and I bought a cabinet last Saturday, for Mollys urn, toys and photos. It’s kinda a coincidence. Molly was laying a lot in the spot where the cabinet went. Maybe she knew that was going to be her final resting spot.
Rodney found a heart shaped rock, on his work site. He picked it up put in his pocket. When we came home Tuesday from her appointment, I went out side and a group of crows flew over. I thought those were signs that she’s ok.
I think I hear her walking across the floor sometimes. I miss here so much, she was my best friend. I hope to have her ashes back this week, I want her home. We had her paw prints done, and nose print, made into a pendant.
I can’t sleep past 3:30 am I would always get up and check on her. I still think she’s alive, I went out for lunch with a friend. Thought I got to get home for Molly, but realized she’s not there. I did start a journal write down memories of her. It just doesn’t seem real, I wish I could’ve saved her.
 
I'm glad you're finding some comfort in your grief. I know that "unreal" feeling, desperate to wake up from this awful dream.:bighug::bighug:

As others noted above, people write some beautiful, lyrical things about their GAs and the extra layer of loneliness without their routines. But your mention of a verse seems kind of familiar to me, too. I haven't been able to find it, but while looking, I did come across this page of poems. They begin with the fears that come with the initial diabetic illness and diagnosis, but there are several as you scroll down that are about good-bye and being apart.

Thank you for the poems. There is one there that I really liked. I find the mornings the hardest. It didn’t help that DH was away working this weekend. I tried to keep busy, but then I have to come home to an empty house :(. It’s just going to take time, each day gets a little better.

Oh Adrienne, I am really happy that you posted. I have been thinking of you. It is hard. There’s no way to sugar coat it… it’s just a very painful process. You can stay around here. You are part of the family now. Check in on a few people/cats. Sometimes people just need to hear some encouragement or that they are doing things right, etc. You know what I mean. And sometimes we just like to chat in the Community Off Topic forum too. Our caring for you didn’t stop when Molly died.
