Thank you Annie. My face is soaked and Luke has made the pillow all wet - Missy is laying next to him.

I'm so sorry to hear about little Missy. Sometimes the little ones are just too frail to make it no matter how hard we try. She certainly knows how much you love her. Most of us here at TDK have had to help our loved furry ones cross over. It is the hardest part of being a caretaker. We will all be thinking about you, Luke, and Missy.

Thank you NNGM your kind words are appreciated.
I can't get back onto that candle site I keep getting a error...

Sinspearian, I am so sorry to hear this. I know you feel as though you have failed, but do not feel this way. It is only your despair talking, and despair can be unjust in the way it makes us feel. You did what you can and now Missy must go...and while losing our little furry angels is never easy, it is, as with humans, sometimes necessary. Her suffering will be over, and you may start the process of grieving for her. But do not blame yourself for her passing.
We just lost our baby girl, Parfait, last week, and it has been incredibly hard to deal with. Especially thinking that she suffered from our selfish desire to keep her alive, and wondering whether we could have done more.
But truly, those thoughts are useless and only make you feel worse. I would like to think that the animals who we have shown kindness and love to...would not want us to feel such sadness on their account. Revenge and guilt-tripping is something humans have mastered, not animals.
May Missy find her passage to the Rainbow Bridge safe and warm and filled with joy. For I know our little Parfait will be waiting on the other side to guide her.

I'm sorry to hear about Missy, Sins.
Please know you did the right thing for your precious baby and tried as hard as you could. I think all of us here have had an experience where we had to let one or more of our babies go and it is not an easy thing to do. But think of Missy, and her not suffering anymore. You are not selfish for wanting her to stay, I think all of us wish we could have our kittenfriends with us forever and ever as we go through life. Unfortunately, that is not possible.
Please know you are in my prayers. Please don't blame yourself. You did everything you could for this sweet girl, and when it all comes down to it...she knew you loved her. And that's a wonderful thing.
Bless your heart, and rest in peace, dear Missy.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Sins. She is now in good health and out of pain, running across the bridge to be greeted by all the kittens who've gone before. There she will be waiting for you and Luke when your time comes. Never doubt that you gave her all the love and care you could in her short time here. {{{hugs}}}

Unfortunately Annie life goes on - even though it feels like it should stop for my pain.. But we have to get on.. I haven't even thought of what I am going to do with her body...

Do you have a place where you could bury her? You could have a little ceremony as a way to help you say goodbye. Some people let their other cats sniff the body so they understand what has happened. Amazingly, some cats grieve when they lose a family member. If you can afford it and want to, you could have the vet's office arrange to cremate Missy and keep her ashes in a special place in your home.

RIP sweet little Missy. Sinspearian, you did your best to try to take of this little kitten but it was just too much for it's small body. Take comfort in that Missy knew love even if it was only for a week. Sending you some consoling hugs.

I would love to have her cremated, so I can have her always - but I really don't know how much it is - I mean I don't want money to be a object because she deserves to stay at home close to her Brother Binx - but if its mega expensive I don't know if we can stretch our budget you know?

Check with your vet to find out what it would cost.

RIP, Missy. Sins, know that you did all you could for Missy out of love; she knows it now and knew it as she was passing. I have lit a candle for her, too.

I miss her so much already - Normally she would be chugging on her feeding bottle now and having a go at me for making her go to the toilet...

I've cremated all my lost babies as I want them to go with me wherever I go. Maybe you can "shop around" for the lowest cost, or call local shelters with recommendations if you are able to....this is really a hard time to do this I know.

It seems harder because Luke's not even talking to me - hes just laying on the bed facing away from me...

Everyone copes in different ways, it's OK :(

Perhaps he's dealing with his grief by hiding it from you. When we had to let Sam cross over, my husband drove us to the vet, but could not come in. He was gruff and sad for days afterward and I was astonished because I felt he was never that close to our B.C. (Big Cat) guy. Even now I sometimes catch him gazing reflectively at the spot under the rocking chair that was Sam's hideout.

Oh, I am so very sorry, Sinspearian. I just got home and rushed to hopefully find good news about baby Missy. Please remember that although her life was so short, it was full of the love that you and Luke gave to her. She didn't pass from this life alone, but rather with two people who love her. I lit a candle for Missy and send many hugs to you.
Years ago we lost a precious kitty and wanted to have him cremated. The ASPCA in our city did that for very little cost. I wonder if you have something like that there?
Peace little Missy - so many love you.
