Thank you soooo much everyone for your comments and words of comfort. All heartbreaking but am glad I am not just 'strange' Take care everyone x

Sorry for your losses Tedber I'm glad you posted though, haven't read the reply posts yet, but def. will, I think they will help me.

I lost my furbaby Lilly [Westie] on the 20th April just gone, the pain of losing her floored me. When my M&D passed away she was there for me, when I lost my beloved D&GC & then S [through estrangement], she kept me from ending my life, she really did. So sweet & loving, I had her for 15.5yrs and now she's gone. It's horrible coming home to an empty house, it's horrible not to have her curled up next to me on the bed and to hear her comforting breathing. No little tail wagging, seen through the glass front door, as I come home. No one to say good morning or goodnight to, I'm truly lost without her

The moment she passed, Sat 4.33pm 16 days ago, I made that involuntary cry one makes only when you lose a loved one, it sort of comes up from your gut.

My little GD that loved Lilly was over for an Easter egg hunt on Easter Friday, whilst my little Lilly was in hospital. We had a lovely lunch in the garden, an Easter egg & spoon race. They then left to see the film Mary Poppins.

My vet than phoned to say nothing more they could do for my Lilly, so I collected her and bought her home for cuddles. My D&GC came back, but of course I couldn't let them in as it was Lilly's last moments. My little GD face when I said she couldn't come in, I'll never forget

But now, every time she comes round she says is Lilly in heaven,..what up there in the skies... can she not come down again even when she speaks to me on the phone she says the same. They phoned me yesterday on their way back from holiday and the first thing my little GD said was..[the above] she's 3.5yrs

notentirelyallhere I must do the same. Lilly is in the crem. box, which is very pretty, sitting on my bedside bookcase with all my family pics. But I want to put her in a lovely Westie ceramic pot I wasn't given a few Xmas ago [it had biscuits in it. I'm afraid to do it though! But the pot looks just like Lilly, so every time I look at it, sitting on my harth, I think of Lilly, so think that's where she should be.

Same with me SalsaQueen but not a stroke, sorry for your loss x

Ironmaiden my little Lilly had kidney probs & on a special diet, she got very thin too

Yes I felt my Lilly was my soul mate too, first time I've admitted that.

My friends were so kind & thoughtful, none had pets, but they sent me bougets of flowers & bereavement cards.

for all on here who have loved & lost xxx

i am so sorry(

Completely! A loved pet is part of your family! Anyone with any love or empathy would feel the same. I am so sorry for your losses!
