Heather, Welcome to PT. I wish the circumstances of your joining us were more joyful. Please know that you are not alone in your loss. I joined PT a little over a year ago when my beloved Goldie died of liver cancer at the age of 15. It doesn't matter how long or short they were a part of our lives, we will never forget their unconditional love. Your Missy was much loved during her time with you. Just know that she is safe and pain free over the Rainbow Bridge.

PT helped me to grieve my loss and helped me as I made the decision to adopt two cats as my heart and home felt so empty without Goldie in my life. Mishi and Mitzi haven't taken Goldie's place - there will always be a Goldie shaped place in my heart. They purr their way into our lives and make new cat paw imprints on our hearts and lives.

Take your time grieving; each of us is different in how we heal. Just know that you're not alone and that PT is a safe place to talk about the pain of your loss.
