It's been just over a year since I lost my baby boy, Smokey, and it still hurts. I think, in my case, that it's more guilt than anything. Just the wishing that I could have caught on sooner that my baby was wasting away, questioning the three women who fostered him for me when he couldn't stay here due to his FeLV/FIV+ status, noticing how pale his gums were getting. I noticed that he wasn't himself on January 9, 2011. He went into cardiac arrest on January 14, 2011, 12 hours after being taken to the vet earlier that morning.

I'm so sorry for your loss of Simon. He was absolutely beautiful.
I know how heartbreaking it is. I try to tell myself -- the cat actually had the easy road. They just fell asleep the same as when they fell asleep at home. We're the ones who have to endure the loss. We're basically taking one for the team, all because it was so valuable for us to have a cat in our homes. So I don't know, that makes me feel better. You're taking one for the team, so be proud of that.

A month is not that long to grieve. He was a part of your family for a long time. It's just hard. It does get easier with time. A journal/scrapbook with pictures is a good idea so you can remember the good and fun times you spent together.
