I'm so sorry for your loss, Greta.
Many of us consider our "fur-babies"  just like family, through the good and
bad, they love us unconditionally.
I understand. Take the time to grieve. It's human
Many hugs

Not weird at all.

I didn't cry over my diagnosis.  I damn near cried myself to death over
something my daughter did shortly thereafter.

Finding out you have BC can just put you into a state of shock.  I don't
actually think I cried when my mother died either.  Too shocking.  Cried
later.

hi greta-
i'm stage 4 also and just had to put my cat of 18 years to sleep.
i cried alot.  i also didn't cry alot when i was diagnosed.
i think, at least for me, it was the marking of the end of an era.  and with
the passing of what i thought of as my fur- child (yeah, sounds dumb, but
it's true), i also felt a bit lonely.  i have to say though, honestly, that
watching her fall ill and eventually die only reflected the gravity my own
situation.  for now, i'm doing quite well for a woman with advanced cancer.
but looking at her, i saw a potential future that frightens me.
it's been about a month and a half and i still miss her.  but life goes on.
sometime soon, i hope to be able to give another cat the same love and
happiness that tucker and i had for over 18 years.
cry over it - it's ok.  then pick yourself up and keep on going on...
