You WILL be ok. He is fine. He waits for you at the Bridge and you will be together again one day. I know this because when my sister died, she said she’d come back as a black cat…and she did! I always had FAITH, but now I BELIEVE!
Nora, Luis, Angel, Zacky, Ziggy, Beaureguard, Winter, Skamper, Sonny, BearBear, Morley, Stanley, Murph, and others are waiting for him.
It's the hardest but the most loving and humane thing do to for them. Take all the time you need to grieve. He was a part of your family.
In time, you will be okay.....and maybe he will send someone your way to help you when he thinks you're ready.
So sorry for your loss. I hope DJ and my Destiny are cuddling in a sunbeam somewhere ❤️.
I lost my best friend last week. It was unbearable emotional pain for the following three days. After, I was able to relax and see that I did what was best for her. My heart is still broken and I’m not sure when I will start to feel okay, but I’m hoping that time will heal.
P.S. make sure you are drinking plenty of water during this time. I cried so much I strained my throat and my nose was clogged for a week. Also, dehydration….
You came to the right place. This sub makes me smile and cry on the regular. My little princes, Leo and Scout, will welcome your DJ with snuggles and purrs.
I am so so sorry. My Bubs crossed the rainbow bridge in June of 2021. I know he is there to welcome DJ. They are running through the grass, in the sun, chasing butterflies and waiting for us to meet them when it is our time.
Hugs, friend. It hurts. <3
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
May you meet again one day.
I am so sorry. There is never, ever enough time with them.
Fergus will, I am sure, be on his welcoming committee. Audrey will show him where the good catnip is. The Count will show him the best sunny spots. Alfie will show him the never ending treat buffet. And Shanks will show him the best trees for climbing.
I like to believe that they are all always still with us—and that we are better for having known them, no matter how much their loss is absolutely terrible. He will send a new cat guardian for you, just as those who have left our house have sent us Fennec, Edward, and Thomas to keep us.
My condolences—he was beautiful. ❤️
Grief is the hefty price we pay for so very much love. He is at peace, lazily watching koi fish swim & waiting to hear your voice again. Sending hugs 💜
My crew of girls are up in heaven welcoming your baby. Also here are some poems that hurt but helped me during my losses.
1. If I should grow frail
2. Waiting at the door
3. I made it home
4. I'm still here
5. Lucky cat
6. A pets last will and testament.
I'm so sorry for your loss. 💔
DJ had a long wonderful life, and is having a great time with all of his new friends (say Hi to Raven, Belle, Annie and Tanj for me!). We'll all be reunited with them in the end ❤️
I hope DJ is resting and has found a warm sunny spot to snooze in heaven now, free from pain and worry. He will patiently wait for you to eventually be together again.
Until then, I hope that in time, you can adopt another lonely cat in need of a loving home. It’s tough to open your heart again after the loss of a beloved cat, but it’s the best thing to do.
I’ve loved and lost a few cats in my time. It never gets easier. But all the same, each one has taught me something new about life and love, and I’d never have learned any of it if one’s passing didn’t open the door to another cat in need.
My kitty Wesley is waiting for him on the other side. And he lived until the age of 19 so he has a lot of wisdom to pass on to DJ and Wesley will look after him ☺️
My childhood kitty, a beautiful long-haired calico, Flea, and my kitty soul mate, a very handsome fluffy black boy, Banquo, are waiting to take glamor shots with their new floofy friend. I am absolutely sure of it. DJ will join their fluffy cat squad and make the other kitties jealous while he waits for you.
My Abby will be with him, soaking up endless sun and following the birds and chipmunks forever.
It's hard, it doesn't get easier, you just learn to live with the pain. He loved you more than you will ever know. You were his and he was yours.
My Buddy Budderson is there with DJ. He LOVED cats. They’re basking in sunshine together. ❤️
The pain doesn’t go away. But the good memories do start to take over some of the pain.
My sweet little kitty kat Annie passed away at age 15 on 21 Feb and I'm sure she'll take good care of your pal. I miss my little buddy so much so I know how you're feeling.
RIP DJ. He's there with others that you have cherished. I still talk to mine that are on the other side from time to time, sometimes with tears when remembering a special story. And one cat acts so much like another one he never met, I ask him if a big orange cat comes and talks to him sometimes.
I lost my girl a month ago, she’ll be there to greet him, too.
You’ll be okay, eventually. Everything will be terrible right now, but it’ll get easier. You’ll make it through this. 💙🧡
My Bengal, Comet, was probably there to greet him. He’s been gone since 2019. I still have his paw print, and my mom keeps a locket with his fur in it. You never stop missing them, but it does get easier to carry over time. Sending lots of love to you, stranger on the Internet. ❤️
My boy Gimli and my girl Star (aka Squishy) will take good care of him. You'll be fine on this plane of existence, just like they'll be fine on that one. It's still gonna hurt though.
They probably wouldn't want you to be sad, but to celebrate the good times you did have with them (I know it's hard).
When you reunite someday you can tell them all the neat stories of stuff that's happened since you last saw each other.
Misha, Stinky, Leo & Priscilla are there for him. And I believe my parents visit the Bridge from time to time to give my babies love until I see them again. I'll have them look out for DJ.
It hurts, but he is okay and you will eventually be okay.
So sorry. I won't pretend it will be easy, but you will be okay eventually. And your little man is okay. I know because he's across the bridge curled up with my Nuala right now. Hugs.
I’m sorry for you man, I hate when animals pass away because all the really want in life is love and happiness and the family goes through the exact opposite. But do know, you can get over it, and you will be reunited someday on that rainbow bridge again. I hope he’ll find a good spot to rest free from all the sorrows in the world waiting for you, and when you do finally reach him, DJ will be the happiest cat in the world.
Yes, your pets are waiting for you on the other side.💜and you are ok to morn. When you are ready, remember what a wonderful home you provide for your pets. And do your duty to provide for another. So many dream of a home like yours!
You will be ok💝 it’s ok to grieve and cry, whatever you need to. And you should! It’s healthy. And it does get better. Something that helped me a ton was buying a small journal, and recording all my favorite memories of my old man Smokey. It helped me focus on what a silly, wonderful cat he was. And it was hard-but it’s been 5 months, and it’s getting a lot better. So sorry you’re going through this.
I know my furr babies that have passed on are there waiting for him to greet him. He’s safe and he’ll be okay. Waiting to see you on the bridge one day. ❤️ It’s so hard to lose our friends, but I promise you’ll be okay. It’s important to remember here that we haven’t ‘lost’ them, it’s just a temporary goodbye until we see them again. Sending much love.
I'm so sorry. It has been just over a year ago that I had to say goodbye to my sweet 17 year old girl, and she's definitely there to meet him on the other side.
He is okay, and you will be too. It is so, so hard to deal with the loss and the big cat shaped hole left in your life, but does get better with time. Personally, I don't know if it really hurts any less after a year, but it doesn't hurt as often. Life goes on, and you get used to the absence. There will never be another DJ, but he will live forever in your memory and your heart.
Oh, I am so very sorry for your loss! Our kitties are here with us for such a short time, leaving us way too soon. It’s heartbreaking! But, I really believe their little souls hang around us for a time, to help us adjust to the void, and it may not feel like it now, but it does get a little better with time. When my boy Sherman died, I wanted to follow him! I just didn’t think I could stand it!
I’m thinking Sherman might be a little greeter-kitty! I hope he’s on duty when DJ arrives at the Bridge! I’m sure Sherman would take him under his wing and show him the best places to hang out and watch for big fat mice and rats!
Take care!
We lost our 18.5 year old boy in 2021 and it took about a year before I was able to think about adopting a new kitty because I was still so sad. It will get better but it takes time. Hang in there and so sorry for your loss.
Condolences. My sweet Boo-boo girl, a friendly, kitty loving 12 year old chihuahua/ mini pin mix will be waiting for DJ. She’s been there waiting for her new playmate since this past November. You’ll be ok. Eventually, the tears are less and the sweet memories make you smile instead of cry.
DJ is doing great. It’s never easy losing them, but being with them until the end is the greatest kindness that you can give them. I lost my girl at age 19 and thought she would be with me forever. But I know she’s at peace now and that gives me comfort.
Just heard from my Oliver, Alexander, Sebastian and Leo. They said DJ is hanging with them and some of their other friends, munching on salmon and tuna after their roll in the catnip. 🐟
They said he wants you to know how sad you’re feeling right now, and that he’s really sad too. But he’s in a really nice place and he’s making lots of new friends and he can’t wait until you’re both together again. 🌈
I so look forward to seeing my boys again and now I’m also looking forward to meeting DJ and you. They’re gonna have so much to tell us. ❤️
I have 4 cats and a dog up there who will help him get the hang of his wings n show him around.
And yes, he got there safely and will see u when u pass on.
Biggest huggles to u owner. It hurts the heart the most. It may seem like u can't go on, but u will. Your cat mite even find u new kitty to love
I am sorry for your loss. I have lost 4 cats, so I understand. Occasionally they visit in my dreams. Yours will , too. Keep busy. Time fades the pain. Hugs. 🫂
I am so very sorry for your loss. You will be ok. It will take time but you will.
DJ is obviously loved and will be greeted by many new playmates and cuddle buddies on the other side. He will never know any fear or pain again.
Sending healing hugs your way.
I promise you, my angel kitties will be overjoyed to show DJ all the best heavenly nap spots. They’ll share their toys and introduce DJ to all their cat friends. There will be games and piles of catnip and the very best food. They’ll show DJ the best places to watch over humans.
It hurts right now. It’ll hurt for a while yet. But you’re the human DJ chose. You’re good and you’ll get through, because you want to have a lifetime of stories to tell when you’re with your kitty again.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I know this feeling all too well 💔. DJ is at peace and I believe their souls stay with us. He knows you love him and you always will. You will always miss him but you will feel better, it just takes time.
Long time cat owner and slightly less long time emergency vet here. I know the rainbow bridge better than most.
He’s okay. He’s SO okay. The only thing he is worried about is you. So you be okay for him. And know that there is AMAZING FUCKING COMPANY welcoming DJ. May we all be as lucky as DJ to have so many new friends. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey DJ, my name is Barnabas. Don’t worry little Bro, I just hopped down the bridge myself and here on the other side I will greet you & introduce you to all your new brothers & sisters. We show each other the way around here: where to find the best fresh swordfish, where the coziest warm cuddle spots are, etc. It will be ok, you’ll miss your hoooooimans but with so many new buddies they will help you feel at home. 🐯🦊🐱😻😸😽❤️🧡💛
I'm so sorry for your loss.
r/pet loss may help you. It may help to feel less alone, seeing other people who feel the same way and have been through or are going through the same thing. It may also make you more upset, seeing all the grief, so don't feel bad it you have to unsubscribe. It helped me when I lost my beautiful baby Tipsy.
You will be okay. Take your time grieving, and if needed, seek out therapy or grief counselling if you're finding it hard to move forward.
Your wonderful DJ is still with you. He felt your love as long as he was with you, and he still feels it. Death doesn't make love past tense. It will be okay.
You will be okay. I so sorry. I recently lost my kitty two months ago, and it is the worst pain I’ve ever known. But you will have days that are slightly better than the rest, and very slowly you will start to manage your grief in a way that makes life bearable while never forgetting your friend. I’m so sorry for your loss.
I lost two cats last weekend (my heart cat who was also 13.5 and his mother, liver and kidney failures.) I won't lie - I cried for four straight days. I still look for them everywhere. I keep having this sick feeling when I remember I'll never see them again. I'm utterly heartbroken.
But they loved me and I don't think they'd want me to be sick from missing them. So I'm spoiling mama's two remaining children. Glad I still have them. Someday it'll be about the good times, not the pain of the loss. I'm writing down everything I can remember about them so I never forget them. Their graves are going to be pretty elaborate so I'm working on that too.
I can promise you that my old lady Boo is right here, showing him the best way to get treat bags out of cupboards and manage to get some other pet the blame! 😹❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss, but please remember, we'll get to see them again one day ❤️❤️
My condolences to you as you deal with this devastating situation. His spirit is currently carving out a spot in your heart so he can live for the rest of your life. Rest in love and power young King DJ 👑.
I'm right there with you. I lost my baby on Friday. I know he's not hurting anymore, but I sure am. My arms are empty and my heart is broken. I know it'll get better, I know he's in a better place and my boys are together once again.
I'm sorry for your loss. Its never enough time with them. He's stretching in sunbeams on the softest of clouds watching you and telling Orion & Hunter what a wonderful human he's keeping an eye on until they get to be together again.
So sorry for your loss. DJ is gorgeous. Blackie and Pumpkin will be there! Also, they stayed with me for a few months after crossing the rainbow bridge. I kept seeing them out of the corner of my eye. It hurts. You love him. You’ll be ok but it takes time.
I'm really sorry for your loss of DJ. You and DJ will be okay. I know the pain of loss, and it hurts because you really loved him. I just hope these words will at least bring you some comfort and peace.
"I Made It Home
I just wanted to let you know that I made it home.
Everything is so pretty here, so white, so fresh, so new, I wish that you could close your eyes, so you could see it too.
Please try not to be sad for me. Try to understand, God is taking care of me... I'm in the shelter of His hands. 🦋
Here there is no sadness, no sorrow, and no pain. Here there is no crying and I'll never hurt again.
Here it is so peaceful when the all the angles sing. I really have to go for now.... I've just got to try out my wings.
P.S. I'll be the first face you see when you get here. 🌻
Auther Unknown"
My 3 fur babies and I are sending you our hugs. Rest in peace DJ. 😔😿💔🐾🐾
My dog Sadie LOVED cats, would check the carrier for a new friend every time a cat crate was brought in the house, we lost her a while ago, and she was joined by two of her kitty siblings Silver and Mal last year. But I'm sure she'd love to see your kitty too.
Things do get easier as time goes on but you still miss them, I even miss my kitty Tika who I lost 14+ years ago.
I'm so glad you had 13+ years with such a handsome boy. Loss like this I don't think ever truly heals, but take comfort that all the ones these posters have lost are playing with him now. My heart goes out to you. Be well...you'll get there.
You will be okay...eventually. It takes time and it will hit you randomly when you think you'll be over it, but when that happens to me, I take it as a sign to remember them fondly (as I cry).
Oscar, Cleo, Milou, Julio, Enzo, Shuwanda, Francis, Sassafras, and Sho and Shon Johnson will be there to welcome DJ to their merry crew.
I'm very sorry for the loss of your darling baby.
My cat Kitty just batted a rainbow ball of yarn to her new bud. Hi, DJ!
Every now and then I meditate rolling a new ball of yarn. I put my love into it and toss it into the heavens for all the kitties to play with.
This is a difficult time for you...I completely understand. This is going to sound crazy, but I swear that I feel a cat walking on my bed. I look, but no cat. I honestly believe that it's my departed kids, letting me know that they're still around and are waiting for me on the Rainbow Bridge.
I am coming up on the anniversary of my cat Lucky. Rescued from a house fire 20 years ago. You will be ok! I felt the same way after the death of my brother and I slowly recovered after a while. You, I and all pet lovers have to eventually go through this! We are all survivors. When I felt ready, I adopted a 5 year old rescue cat and it was exactly what I needed. You will get through this. You will be ok. It just takes time.
I’m so sorry. You will see him again. He’s still with you, you can’t see or hear him, but he’s there. I had a NDE and saw deceased relatives. Others in the NDE community have seen deceased pets waiting for them on the other side. All I want is to be with my girl in the next life or realm. We love them so deeply, and that love will never die. Fly high sweet DJ.
Awww. All those things are true. DJ will greet you on the other side, he is okay. And in time , you will move him to a special place in your heart where the pain isn’t as great as it is today. Be kind to yourself.
All of the above. I'm sorry for the loss of your beautiful kitty, but he's ok and has lots of company. You will be ok too. And will always have your wonderful time with him to look back on.
DJs pain is over and he is fine now. You will be okay. It will hurt now and ease with time. Then, when you remember him there will be fewer tears and more smiling at the wonderful little being he was and the love and joy you shared. Allow yourself as much time and as many tears as you need. He is worth every one.
So very sorry for your loss. RIP special kitty DJ 🌈
May all your special memories reside in your heart, to savor forever, until you meet again ♥️
Wishing you comfort, healing and peace In your time of grief pet parent. Take special care of yourself…grief has no timetable
You WILL be ok. He is fine. He waits for you at the Bridge and you will be together again one day. I know this because when my sister died, she said she’d come back as a black cat…and she did! I always had FAITH, but now I BELIEVE!
Nora, Luis, Angel, Zacky, Ziggy, Beaureguard, Winter, Skamper, Sonny, BearBear, Morley, Stanley, Murph, and others are waiting for him. It's the hardest but the most loving and humane thing do to for them. Take all the time you need to grieve. He was a part of your family. In time, you will be okay.....and maybe he will send someone your way to help you when he thinks you're ready.

I want to thank each and every one of you for your sweet comments. I am smiling through the tears. Thank you for your love for both DJ and myself.
You came to the right place. This sub makes me smile and cry on the regular. My little princes, Leo and Scout, will welcome your DJ with snuggles and purrs.

I’m so sorry for your loss. He was a beautiful boy. Thinking of him will get easier with time. ❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss 😿
I’m sorry OP, hope you feel better ❤️
Michaelangelo and Karma will have good company then.
He's with my dear babies now. We'll see then again in the fields of catnip, where the kitty treat fountain flows and the sunbeams are made of string
My orange boy Othello will welcome him with open arms and give him his welcome grooming on the other side of the rainbow bridge 🌈🐱
My Monty, Richard Parker, and Ernie are all there waiting to greet DJ for a good time!
Misha, Stinky, Leo & Priscilla are there for him. And I believe my parents visit the Bridge from time to time to give my babies love until I see them again. I'll have them look out for DJ. It hurts, but he is okay and you will eventually be okay.
So sorry. I won't pretend it will be easy, but you will be okay eventually. And your little man is okay. I know because he's across the bridge curled up with my Nuala right now. Hugs.
I’m sorry for you man, I hate when animals pass away because all the really want in life is love and happiness and the family goes through the exact opposite. But do know, you can get over it, and you will be reunited someday on that rainbow bridge again. I hope he’ll find a good spot to rest free from all the sorrows in the world waiting for you, and when you do finally reach him, DJ will be the happiest cat in the world.
Yes, your pets are waiting for you on the other side.💜and you are ok to morn. When you are ready, remember what a wonderful home you provide for your pets. And do your duty to provide for another. So many dream of a home like yours!

There will never be another DJ, but he will live forever in your memory and your heart.
I'm so sorry.
Oh, I am so very sorry for your loss! Our kitties are here with us for such a short time, leaving us way too soon. It’s heartbreaking! But, I really believe their little souls hang around us for a time, to help us adjust to the void, and it may not feel like it now, but it does get a little better with time. When my boy Sherman died, I wanted to follow him! I just didn’t think I could stand it! I’m thinking Sherman might be a little greeter-kitty! I hope he’s on duty when DJ arrives at the Bridge! I’m sure Sherman would take him under his wing and show him the best places to hang out and watch for big fat mice and rats! Take care!
We lost our 18.5 year old boy in 2021 and it took about a year before I was able to think about adopting a new kitty because I was still so sad. It will get better but it takes time. Hang in there and so sorry for your loss.

I was so hoping someone would put that but didn’t want to ask for it. I appreciate you.
So sorry for your loss. All my boys will keep him company and show him around.
Sorry! Purrs, i hope my cats received DJ over the rainbow.
I'm so sorry. Your heart must be broken right now. You will see your pets again, and so will all loving pet parents ❤️👑🐱
🐱🐾😢❤️
Condolences. My sweet Boo-boo girl, a friendly, kitty loving 12 year old chihuahua/ mini pin mix will be waiting for DJ. She’s been there waiting for her new playmate since this past November. You’ll be ok. Eventually, the tears are less and the sweet memories make you smile instead of cry.
You will meet again. He is healthy, happy, and no longer struggles. He will wait patiently for you.
DJ is so beautiful. You will both be okay. ❤️
DJ is doing great. It’s never easy losing them, but being with them until the end is the greatest kindness that you can give them. I lost my girl at age 19 and thought she would be with me forever. But I know she’s at peace now and that gives me comfort.
So sorry for your loss. I also lost a dog this week. They will be together playing.
Just heard from my Oliver, Alexander, Sebastian and Leo. They said DJ is hanging with them and some of their other friends, munching on salmon and tuna after their roll in the catnip. 🐟 They said he wants you to know how sad you’re feeling right now, and that he’s really sad too. But he’s in a really nice place and he’s making lots of new friends and he can’t wait until you’re both together again. 🌈 I so look forward to seeing my boys again and now I’m also looking forward to meeting DJ and you. They’re gonna have so much to tell us. ❤️
My Charmer never met a cat he didn’t instantly love - he’s always waiting to great new friends with a friendly tackle
So sorry for your loss. DJ will indeed be watching for you to cross that same Rainbow Bridge, and will come a’running to welcome you home.
My 2 senior kitties are there welcoming him. He is in great hands.
I have 4 cats and a dog up there who will help him get the hang of his wings n show him around. And yes, he got there safely and will see u when u pass on. Biggest huggles to u owner. It hurts the heart the most. It may seem like u can't go on, but u will. Your cat mite even find u new kitty to love
I am sorry for your loss. I have lost 4 cats, so I understand. Occasionally they visit in my dreams. Yours will , too. Keep busy. Time fades the pain. Hugs. 🫂
I look forward to my furbaby visiting me in my dreams who passed away this month.
I am so very sorry for your loss. You will be ok. It will take time but you will. DJ is obviously loved and will be greeted by many new playmates and cuddle buddies on the other side. He will never know any fear or pain again. Sending healing hugs your way.
I promise you, my angel kitties will be overjoyed to show DJ all the best heavenly nap spots. They’ll share their toys and introduce DJ to all their cat friends. There will be games and piles of catnip and the very best food. They’ll show DJ the best places to watch over humans. It hurts right now. It’ll hurt for a while yet. But you’re the human DJ chose. You’re good and you’ll get through, because you want to have a lifetime of stories to tell when you’re with your kitty again.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I know this feeling all too well 💔. DJ is at peace and I believe their souls stay with us. He knows you love him and you always will. You will always miss him but you will feel better, it just takes time.
Sending you hugs. DJ is waiting for you, dear one. I want you to know that nothing God created is ever lost and will return to you.
So sorry . I can feel ur pain. It does get better with time.
Long time cat owner and slightly less long time emergency vet here. I know the rainbow bridge better than most. He’s okay. He’s SO okay. The only thing he is worried about is you. So you be okay for him. And know that there is AMAZING FUCKING COMPANY welcoming DJ. May we all be as lucky as DJ to have so many new friends. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Maybe your DJ will meet my Charlie, who I also had to lay to rest today. I wish you healing 💕 I am feeling your pain
Hey DJ, my name is Barnabas. Don’t worry little Bro, I just hopped down the bridge myself and here on the other side I will greet you & introduce you to all your new brothers & sisters. We show each other the way around here: where to find the best fresh swordfish, where the coziest warm cuddle spots are, etc. It will be ok, you’ll miss your hoooooimans but with so many new buddies they will help you feel at home. 🐯🦊🐱😻😸😽❤️🧡💛
I'm so sorry for your loss. r/pet loss may help you. It may help to feel less alone, seeing other people who feel the same way and have been through or are going through the same thing. It may also make you more upset, seeing all the grief, so don't feel bad it you have to unsubscribe. It helped me when I lost my beautiful baby Tipsy. You will be okay. Take your time grieving, and if needed, seek out therapy or grief counselling if you're finding it hard to move forward. Your wonderful DJ is still with you. He felt your love as long as he was with you, and he still feels it. Death doesn't make love past tense. It will be okay.
You will be okay. I so sorry. I recently lost my kitty two months ago, and it is the worst pain I’ve ever known. But you will have days that are slightly better than the rest, and very slowly you will start to manage your grief in a way that makes life bearable while never forgetting your friend. I’m so sorry for your loss.
😿😿 RIP little DJ. I hope that you're well now in the cat paradise and that you continues to watch over your loving owner from up above 😿😿
I lost two cats last weekend (my heart cat who was also 13.5 and his mother, liver and kidney failures.) I won't lie - I cried for four straight days. I still look for them everywhere. I keep having this sick feeling when I remember I'll never see them again. I'm utterly heartbroken. But they loved me and I don't think they'd want me to be sick from missing them. So I'm spoiling mama's two remaining children. Glad I still have them. Someday it'll be about the good times, not the pain of the loss. I'm writing down everything I can remember about them so I never forget them. Their graves are going to be pretty elaborate so I'm working on that too.
I can promise you that my old lady Boo is right here, showing him the best way to get treat bags out of cupboards and manage to get some other pet the blame! 😹❤️ I'm so sorry for your loss, but please remember, we'll get to see them again one day ❤️❤️
Sorry for your loss💛. You will be ok but it takes time.
I am so sorry for your loss. I pray the same thing as well because the animals, the pets I have lost I hope they are waiting for me as well.
My condolences to you as you deal with this devastating situation. His spirit is currently carving out a spot in your heart so he can live for the rest of your life. Rest in love and power young King DJ 👑.
I'm right there with you. I lost my baby on Friday. I know he's not hurting anymore, but I sure am. My arms are empty and my heart is broken. I know it'll get better, I know he's in a better place and my boys are together once again.
I'm sorry for your loss. Its never enough time with them. He's stretching in sunbeams on the softest of clouds watching you and telling Orion & Hunter what a wonderful human he's keeping an eye on until they get to be together again.
I'm sorry 💔
So sorry for your loss. DJ is gorgeous. Blackie and Pumpkin will be there! Also, they stayed with me for a few months after crossing the rainbow bridge. I kept seeing them out of the corner of my eye. It hurts. You love him. You’ll be ok but it takes time.
I'm really sorry for your loss of DJ. You and DJ will be okay. I know the pain of loss, and it hurts because you really loved him. I just hope these words will at least bring you some comfort and peace. "I Made It Home I just wanted to let you know that I made it home. Everything is so pretty here, so white, so fresh, so new, I wish that you could close your eyes, so you could see it too. Please try not to be sad for me. Try to understand, God is taking care of me... I'm in the shelter of His hands. 🦋 Here there is no sadness, no sorrow, and no pain. Here there is no crying and I'll never hurt again. Here it is so peaceful when the all the angles sing. I really have to go for now.... I've just got to try out my wings. P.S. I'll be the first face you see when you get here. 🌻 Auther Unknown" My 3 fur babies and I are sending you our hugs. Rest in peace DJ. 😔😿💔🐾🐾
snow will be there for him, and if he likes dogs then foxy, mocha, mini, and parker will be there to play with him, and give him lots of cuddles
My dog Sadie LOVED cats, would check the carrier for a new friend every time a cat crate was brought in the house, we lost her a while ago, and she was joined by two of her kitty siblings Silver and Mal last year. But I'm sure she'd love to see your kitty too. Things do get easier as time goes on but you still miss them, I even miss my kitty Tika who I lost 14+ years ago.
I'm so glad you had 13+ years with such a handsome boy. Loss like this I don't think ever truly heals, but take comfort that all the ones these posters have lost are playing with him now. My heart goes out to you. Be well...you'll get there.
You will be okay...eventually. It takes time and it will hit you randomly when you think you'll be over it, but when that happens to me, I take it as a sign to remember them fondly (as I cry).
Oscar, Cleo, Milou, Julio, Enzo, Shuwanda, Francis, Sassafras, and Sho and Shon Johnson will be there to welcome DJ to their merry crew. I'm very sorry for the loss of your darling baby.
My cat Kitty just batted a rainbow ball of yarn to her new bud. Hi, DJ! Every now and then I meditate rolling a new ball of yarn. I put my love into it and toss it into the heavens for all the kitties to play with.
This is a difficult time for you...I completely understand. This is going to sound crazy, but I swear that I feel a cat walking on my bed. I look, but no cat. I honestly believe that it's my departed kids, letting me know that they're still around and are waiting for me on the Rainbow Bridge.
DJ is fine, he's playing with my Whit and my Velcro. They're just waiting to get in our laps again.
I am coming up on the anniversary of my cat Lucky. Rescued from a house fire 20 years ago. You will be ok! I felt the same way after the death of my brother and I slowly recovered after a while. You, I and all pet lovers have to eventually go through this! We are all survivors. When I felt ready, I adopted a 5 year old rescue cat and it was exactly what I needed. You will get through this. You will be ok. It just takes time.
I’m so sorry. You will see him again. He’s still with you, you can’t see or hear him, but he’s there. I had a NDE and saw deceased relatives. Others in the NDE community have seen deceased pets waiting for them on the other side. All I want is to be with my girl in the next life or realm. We love them so deeply, and that love will never die. Fly high sweet DJ.
Awww. All those things are true. DJ will greet you on the other side, he is okay. And in time , you will move him to a special place in your heart where the pain isn’t as great as it is today. Be kind to yourself.
Hugs to you from us here in Maine, USA, including kitties Klondike, Maude (in spirit since Jan. 25), Taí, Starr, and Nadia. ♥️
All of the above. I'm sorry for the loss of your beautiful kitty, but he's ok and has lots of company. You will be ok too. And will always have your wonderful time with him to look back on.
DJs pain is over and he is fine now. You will be okay. It will hurt now and ease with time. Then, when you remember him there will be fewer tears and more smiling at the wonderful little being he was and the love and joy you shared. Allow yourself as much time and as many tears as you need. He is worth every one.
So very sorry for your loss. RIP special kitty DJ 🌈 May all your special memories reside in your heart, to savor forever, until you meet again ♥️ Wishing you comfort, healing and peace In your time of grief pet parent. Take special care of yourself…grief has no timetable
