The joy of pets is that we can enjoy many of them in our lifetime. The sadness is their lifetimes are usually so much shorter than ours. Grieve on your own time, in your own way and honor her role in your life with memories of her love for you. (((((Hugs)))))

I am sitting here bawling right now. My heart breaks for all 3 of you. The pain is gut wrenching when you lose a fur baby.
I wish there were words to give you that would ease your pain but I know that there are none.
I know the agony you are going through and pray for you. I felt the loss and was introduced to the Rainbow Bridge. I took a lot of comfort in that. If you haven't heard of it, you might want to check it out.
Keeping you in my prayers!

I am so very sorry. I've often thought I needed a dog-child to be my companion through all of this. Aren't our fur-kids so much more understanding than people?
Hugs to you.

I am so sorry for you and Ocktobermest.
Some pets are just animals. Others are family members.
Then there are those very, very few who actually become a part of our soul. It is so painful to lose them.

Hugs all around!

In so many ways, that kitten helped keep us together.
I am so very sorry for your loss. Our pets are so much more than animals. We need them in our lives and they reciprocate with non-judgemental love.
Our three cats (two of whom are 10 years of age) have certainly helped us navigate this situation. I don't know what I would do without my Smudge, and I hope that time will still be far off into the future.
Our son just lost one of his cats the same way you lost Eva. He is heartbroken, too.

I am so sorry. My evil old cat kept me alive through the betrayal also. Maybe you will smile a little at this picture- (think satan in a fur coat) he is a pure black cat, with one normal eye and one bulging dead ugly gray one. His head is always slightly crooked becase of neurosurgery to remove a tumor. He also has an open gaping ear canal where they had to go in for the surgery. Pretty, no? You would think he would work on his personality to make up for his looks, but no. Sometimes when you pet him he bites you. Sometimes when you walk by him he claws you. Dont even get me started on the "roid rage he had when he was on steroids due to the tumor (got the scars to prove it). But when XWF left, he sat on my lap everynight for six straight weeks and just looked into my eyes purring. Has never done it before or since. Odd, that. I know that he knew. And after a couple of weeks XWF had to come back to get some things (that cat had always liked him) he tried to pet him and my evil cat bit the crap out of him. Blood and everything. He got tuna for dinner that night....and wouldn't even eat it. No cat skills at all. So sorry again for your loss.. your cat was very beautiful.

No, no, no she was not just a cat...she was a very important member of your family, a beautiful member of your family. My heart hurts for both you and OctoberMest.
I am so very sorry for your loss. I hope all the happy memories that you shared with Eva will comfort you.
A Parting Prayer
Dear Lord, please open your gates
and call St. Francis
to come escort this beloved companion
across the Rainbow Bridge.
Assign her to a place of honor,
for she has been a faithful servant
and has always done her best to please me.
Bless the hands that send her to you,
for they are doing so in love and compassion,
freeing her from pain and suffering.
Grant me the strength not to dwell on my loss.
Help me remember the details of her life
with the love she has shown me.
And grant me the courage to honor her
by sharing those memories with others.
Let her remember me as well
and let her know that I will always love her.
And when it's my time to pass over into your paradise,
please allow her to accompany those
who will bring me home.
Thank you, Lord,
for the gift of her companionship
and for the time we've had together.
And thank you, Lord,
for granting me the strength
to give her to you now.
Amen.

Oh I'm so sorry, crying right along with you guys.
I had two beautiful Siamese and was blessed with many years of their companionship, cannot imagine losing them so soon.
They are very very special creatures, the Orientals.
I hope you can find a new companion to fill the void.
