Dear Gillian,
Will be thinking of you today because I know how painful it is to lose a little loved one.

Gillian, I know what you mean. Parsley slept on our bed a lot (despite their being NINE cat beds in our house of varying size and style!) and after she'd gone I'd go into the bedroom and expect to see her there. I sometimes still do. And each cat has such a unique personality that no matter how many cats are still in the house with you, you'll notice the absence of that particular personality.

You know you did what you had to - but that doesn't make the loss any easier to bear.

Hope you're holding up.

play hard at the bridge Elsa, and raid the fridge to your hearts content.

That made me smile Sabrina

Thank you again to everyone, your lovely messages and poems, they mean such a lot to me.

This is really hard, harder than I thought it would be - don't know why I thought it would be any easier just because she'd had a good, long life etc etc and its not like she was taken too soon, like Suzie, - but anyway, its not easier, I can't believe how I see her everywhere, I mean, see her where she SHOULD be. Mostly the kitchen of course, walking in there now is heartbreaking, I can hardly bear it. I look around and she would have been on the worktop beside the fridge, layed out on the window ledge or curled up on the carpeted tub (put there specially to help her get onto the worktop!) Then, in the lounge, on my chair (anytime I vacated it!), on the floor next to the radiator, or underneath the cat scratcher next to the other radiator.

My house is full of cats, yet it feels empty.

Gillian, I am so very sorry for your loss, but she was such a lucky girl to have had you, and to have someone strong enough to do the best by her all the time. She was such a pretty girl, and will always be in your heart. Take care, and we are all here for you if you need us, sadly most of us know what you are going through. RIP little one.

Having a little cry for you and for Elsa, Gillian.

I suppose it's some kind of eternal equilibrium... the grief of losing them balanced by the joy that they have given us through their lives.

I hope you're OK tonight - I know some people can really struggle the first night. Remember that there is help out here if you want it.

Godspeed, Elsa.

"All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor"

Thinking of you Gillian. Glad you were brave enough to let her go. Can I just thank you for reminding us all of the possibility of pts at home. It never occurred to me in the past but seems so right. No words really. My heart goes out to you.

Gillian - you have such strength, and love for Elsa, that you were brave enough to help her to the Bridge. She will always thank you, and peek from behind her fridge there, just to see if you're ok

Play hard, beautiful Elsa, until you're reunited with your meowmy.

em1209 · « **Reply #97 on:** October 15, 2007, 17:44:47 PM »

So so sorry Gillian. It sounds like Elsa had such a fantastic life with you and I'm sure you've got so many memories.

Night night little one xxx

JackSpratt · « **Reply #96 on:** October 15, 2007, 17:39:33 PM »

I noticed the change in title straight away. Elsa was lucky to have had you in her life, just as you were to have had her in yours. She knew she was loved right up until the moment she left (and after!) and that's such a wonderful gift to give any living thing.

Hope you're OK. Gillian.

Elsa.

The bridge babes looked around their garden and found an empty place,
Then they looked down upon this earth and saw your loving face,
they put their paws around you and lifted you to rest,
their garden must be beautiful; because they always takes the best.

They knew that you were suffering;
they knew you were in pain,
And knew that you would never get well on earth again,
they saw your path was difficult; and closed your tired eyes.
Then whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly.

When we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain,
we would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again.
You've left us precious memories; your love will be our guide.
You live on through your family, you're always by our side.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you the day the Bridge called you home.

((((Gillian)))) Elsa is now in very good company in a better place over the bridge. But her spirit will never leave you, and all the things so special that you shared with her. They will be with you in your heart forever. Smile when you think of her... that will make Elsa happy too watching you from up there.

RIP Elsa. Play hard over the bridge.

RIP Elsa

Have fun at the bridge little one.

Thinking of you, Gillian

It's never easy losing a furbabe, even when they've had a good innings so to speak and you know it's the right thing to do. And coming so soon after losing Suzie too.

THE VISITOR

In the silent, secret hours
Of a frozen, moonlit night,
Whilst you slumber fitfully, tearfully,
Broken by grief -
The soft, unseen footsteps of a phantom feline
Will tiptoe through your dreams.

When all the world is sleeping
I shall fill your empty heart with gentle memories,
And rest again, warm in the safety of your arms.

And when you awake,
Confused by sleep, half-remembering,
You will feel the parting, velvet imprint
Of my muzzle against your cheek,
And you will know
I am at peace.

Quote from: Gillian (Ambercat) on October 15, 2007, 13:11:04 PM

I won't have to save the little drop of milk from my cereal bowl now, nor the teeny drop I always left in my glass of milk. I won't have to protect the plates when I'm dishing up their food, or when I'm dishing up mine. I won't have to guard a packet of crisps with my life and I won't have to shut the fridge door really quickly before a rapier fast paw tries to snatch....well, anything within reach! And I won't see that eager little face peeping round the fridge to greet me every time I walk into the kitchen.

But you would do anything to do it all again
