I would like to say a simple Thank You for everyone's compassion and advice and support when Rupert was very ill, and then died.
It has really helped, and while I miss him so terribly much, I know that I am not alone, and not crazy for grieving over a cat. It's amazing how much the dynamics of our home have changed. There's no greeting at the door when we come home, no warm bundle on my lap, or lying across the newspaper while I'm reading it. How could one 15 pound bundle of fur make such a difference? On a spring day like today, I would be thinking that he would be finding ways of escaping the house...

So, my sincere thanks for all of you who posted.
much love,ev
 
I'm so sorry that Rupert died. And no - you are not crazy for grieving over a cat. I think that we all grieve a little over every cat who comes to this board and then leaves. We are all here because we care about our cats and everyone elses as well. Even if we only meet them through their owner, we feel that we know tham a little and miss them when they go. Know that you have lots of compassion and understanding in knowing how you feel about the loss of Rupert. Enjoy your many good memories of Rupert.
 
Trying to escape on a spring day ..... yes, I also have many memories like that. I am very sorry for your loss and may he snuggle in your heart forever .....
 
Dearest Evelyn,

No, you are not alone or crazy. And, yes, the dynamics of life change when a precious soul we have loved -- and always will -- leave us.

Because you love him. Because reading a newspaper without having to lift a paw to read the next paragraph is just reading the newspaper... Because it's spring and you don't have to worry about doors that might be ajar...

Love endures, dearest Evelyn. Yours for Rupert. And, Rupert's for you. It's just different now because he's not here. But, his love remains forever and a day in your heart... Trust me.

Much love and countless gentle hugs for you,
Deb and Nikki -- and, Giz, forever whispering in my heart...




I Shall Walk In The Sun

I shall walk in the Sun above,
Whose golden light you loved.
I shall sleep alone and, stirring, touch an empty place.
I shall write uninterrupted.
Would that your gentle paw could stir my moving
pen just once again.
I shall see beauty, but none to match
your living grace.
I shall hear music, but none so sweet as the
droning song with which you loved me.
I shall fill my days, but I shall not, can not, forget.
Sleep soft dear friend, for while I live
You shall not die.

Michael Joseph
 
I know I did not know you, but I wanted to say I am very sorry and that you are in no way crazy. I am all teary right now just from your post and Deb's poem. And forget even going into the grief forum, if I do Saatz wonders why I carry him around all day in tears like a crazy lady.

My best thoughts go out to you, and a big hug.
