  1. I know what you're going through. I had to put my Simba Baby Cat to sleep last night, and I can't stop thinking about him. I guess I'm having a hard time coping also, even though I know in my heart that I made the right decision. Simba was suffering too much and I couldn't stand knowing that he was in pain. I had to let go, no matter how much I wanted him to stay here with me. I had to do what was good for Simba, not for me. But still the agony of his loss hurts so terribly. Have faith in your heart that you made the right decision-his suffering is gone. I am not a religious person, but I do believe that people and animals have a soul...or a spirit...or an energy, whatever you want to call it, that lives on after the temporary, physical body fades away. Perhaps your religion or belief system can be of comfort to you. I have also been looking at photos of Simba when he was healthy and full of mischief, remembering the things about him that always brings a smile to my face, remembering him the way he would want to be remembered. I also plan on buying locket & putting Simba's picture in it, along with a picture of Cosmo, his brother, who passed away last year. This way they can stay close to my heart when I need them the most. Talk to people who understand and care about your loss, stay away from those who don't. Make sure you take care of yourself - eat, sleep, go for a long walk - your dog would want you to stay strong. Cry when you have to, but also laugh when you can. I'm sure there are other ways of coping, and I will find them as time goes on and as I need them. You will too.
