Re: 7/7 Zeus - time to say good bye

Wow! The love and support that I have received today, and this past year has been truly amazing. Thank you, thank you! Words cannot express how amazing this board is and the people that post/lurk here as well, wonderful, caring and compassionate.

I took my Zeus man back to the ER hospital at a little before 10 this morning. The people there on staff today were so great! The tech that took care of Zeus a couple of weekends ago met us at the door and brought us right into an exam room. She was wonderful. And then one of the other techs that I knew from when she worked at our vets office years ago came in and gave me a long hug and said that I did everything that I could do. And the doctor was the woman that works at our vets office, she was covering at the ER hospital... She is great too, very calm, caring and supportive. We were truly blessed to have that team (and not the vet from last night). They took Zeus out of the room to give him something that made him calm and sleepy... I could hear him cry, The tech had warned me that sometimes it does sting, but it still broke my heart. They let me have a few minutes with him, and I gave him lots of kisses and pats and told him how much I loved him. The doctor came in and had a really hard time finding the vein, Zeus didn't move at all. I kept talking to him the whole time, and had my hand on his head. Afterward, they let me have more time with him. I cried and held him, he looked so peaceful. He will suffer no more. Fly free Zeus, land softly. I love you buddy. Don't forget to give me a sign when you can.

I really want to thank you all again. Please forgive me for not doing so individually, the tears are making it difficult. :cry: Thank you for everything, you are so special to me, love you all.
 
(((((((Kathie)))))) I wish I could give you a hug. Oh, I'm just crying so hard :(

Zeus, we love you.

Please give your mom a sign that you are okay.

Fly Free Sweet Zeus

Dear (((((((Kathie))))))),
There is a beautiful new star in the heavens tonight: Zeus is flying free on his glorious golden wings. Farewell, Zeus Man! You are very much loved and you will always be in your mamabean's heart--in that special place that belongs to you. Fly free, sweet kitty, and send your mamabean a sign to comfort her.

In deepest sympathy,

Ella and Edward, Rusty, and Stu (GA)
 
Kathie I am so happy to hear that there was a caring staff at the vet today. Sending more and more comforting prayers for you. Fly free sweet Zeus
 
So glad to hear you were able to be there to hold and love him till the end ♥ Big hugs to you and your DH ♥
 
{{{{{{Kathie and DH}}}}}}

There are no good words to express our sorrow on learning about the passing of your dear Zeus. He will live in your and our memories for a long time.

Fly free little one, you have earned your wings. wings_cat
 
Kathie & DH
I'm just now reading your post and I'm shedding tears for your sadness.
Please know that you both are in my prayers on this day. Although
this chapter in your lives is drawing to a close the wonderful memories will keep you
going. Our babies are only hear for such a short time when they are given to us by
our creator. They teach us so much about loving and caring and also give so much in return.
My heart goes out to you for the days ahead. Keep the memories close. Zeus knows he will
see you again and looks forward to being reunited with you.

(((Kathie))) I'm so sorry for your loss of Zeus. It's the hardest decision to make.. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
 
Like many others, I was hoping and praying that he would pull through this.
He let you know what he needed, and you gave him that precious gift.
Our sweet angels welcome him until you can see him again.

Lighting Butthead's candle for the Zeus Man... :cry:

Dearest Kathie,
I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Zeusman. I don't come on the board much anymore since Mali crossed over the bridge, but I just ducked in to see this very sad post and I want you to know how much sorrow I feel for you. You were one of many that were kind enough to offer tears and condolences when we lost Mali and it was very much appreciated. It is still very fresh with us since it's been only two weeks since Mali crossed.
I know Zeus and Mali are just little whippersnappers again and are running around chasing each other over the rainbow and are free of the pain that plagued them on this earth.
God be with you in your sorry.
Robert
 
(((Kathie)))
I'm so very sorry you no longer have Zeus with you in body....he will remain with you always in your heart!
know that he knew how much you loved him....

Fly Free sweet Zeus .....you will not be alone at the bridge...for others gone before you are there to show you around.....
 
Oh Kathie, how incredibly sad. Zeus was too young. I'm glad he found you and your DH to share his love, he truly had heaven on earth in your arms and heart.
His love will go on forever in your memories.
When I lost my beloved BigMac, I found a bit of comfort in believing that my love for him would follow him where ever he went and his love for me would do the same.
I wish this comfort for you.

From a book by Nancy Tillman:
  • I wanted you more
    than you ever will know,
    so I sent love to follow
    wherever you go. ...

    It never gets lost, never fades, never ends...
    if you're working
    or playing...
    or sitting with friends.

    ... just lift up your face, feel the wind in your hair.
    That's me, my sweet baby, my love is right there.

 
Kathie-
I've been out of town and just now reading about the loss of your sweet Zeus. He had a great life with you, even if it was cut too short. Sending you tons of hugs and wishing comfort for your sad heart.

(((((((Kathie)))))))
I'm so sorry. It's been a very rough year here at FDMB, so many have gone.
But there is much comfort that they are waiting and they are pain free and happy again. I believe we will see our beloved friends again.
Many prayers for you as you morn for your baby, Zeus.
Fly Free Zeus.

((((O Kathie!))) I'm just getting caught up - so sorry you had to let Zeus go at such a young age. You took such very good care of him and he went on his journey with a heart full of love. I hope he comes to visit you so you know he's free and playing at the bridge. :sad:
 
Kathy & Zeuss, I didn't know about your precious baby . I am sooo VERY very sorry for your loss !! He will ALWAYS be with you, in your heart and mind. I just can't stop crying, it's the worst thing ever to lose your sweet, sweet boy. At least he knew what it was like to be sooo loved and cared for. Alot of kitties don't ever have that love. Your baby was VERY special !!!
Again, I am Very sorry for you and your little boy !!!

Love, Hugs, and kittie kisses,
Becki & Rags
 
((((((Kathie)))))
I am so very sorry Zeus had to begin his next journey after so short a time with you. I'm sure that he is very close to you, hoping to comfort you and I pray that he will give you a sign that he is happy and playing with all his friends at the bridge. I will look outside tonight and know that the very brightest star is light from beloved Zeus and that there is a silver cord of love connecting him to you. The love you share is forever and i pray that it will comfort you as you continue each day.
I know each day he will play in his new and perfect body. But first he will look to see if you have come to join him. That will be his happiest day.

My tears mingle with all of LL and my love and prayers to you.
Fly Free and High Zeus. You are dearly loved, desperately missed and will always be in our hearts.

Thank you everyone for your kind words, love, support and continued prayers. I feel so blessed to have had you all in our lives.

Last night was hard, I went to set the alarm, and remembered that I didn't have to get up in the middle of the night, and that I could sleep an extra hour in the morning. Of course I didn't, I was awake at the usual time, but didn't get up. I fell back asleep, and then bolted out of bed thinking that I missed Zeus' TFS.

Smokey and I don't know what to do with ourselves. She was just looking for Zeus behind the chair that he used to hide behind. She has been coming to me for extra attention too. She isn't a cuddler and doesn't really like to be picked up and held, but she let me hold her tonight. I don't think she has poo'd though in 2 days... She hasn't really eaten too much either (following my lead I guess). I gave her a FF appy tonight, tuna... She only had a few bites. I hope we see improvement for her tomorrow.

TBP kept my mind occupied today, until someone would ask about my weekend, then I got teary. Here at home, it's just so quiet. So I wanted to visit with friends. I did fine with condos but am now crying again.

It is raining here so no stars for us, but I hope that Zeus' star is shining down on you tonight.

Kathie
 
{{{{{Kathie}}}}}} Time will ease your pain and Zeus is in your heart forever. I am sure you will have a sign soon, Zeus is just getting settled in at the Bridge, eating at Mannie's & Stu's cafe, visiting with old and new friends and enjoying playing and freedom from pain. We so appreciate you visiting Zener today.

(((Kathie))) thinking of you. Smokey is grieving along with you and seeking comfort and wants to comfort you, too. Mags was the same way when my GA kitty passed away. All of a sudden she became a cuddler. Sending some appy and feel better vines for Smokey. Hugs and prayers for you and Smokey.
 
Kathie, sending prayers and hugs to you. Smokey is missing Zeus too. Hopefully you can bring comfort to each other.

Thanks for taking time to stop by Furball's condo yesterday.
 
Dear (((Kathie))),

I was following your story and, like many others here, was hoping that Zeus would pull through. I'm so sorry that it came to this but he let you know that it was time. It was lovely that you got to hold him during the last night. I cried too much when I first read this to post so I came back to it today.

You, Smokey and Zeus are in my thoughts. I hope Smokey starts eating again soon.

Grace
 
Morning Kathie,

I hope your day goes peacefully. The one good thing about tbp is it can take your mind off of everything else, even for a short time.

I hope Smokey perks up soon, with a new routine that includes cuddles. The whole dynamics of a home change with the loss or addition of a new furbaby.

Zeus is feeling sooooo good, he is watching over you and Smokey and telling you guys, "Eat your fuds please!!"

Thinking of you

Jane
