Goodbye my Little Blue Angel

I had to make the tough decision........to let Blue Angel go. Her labs showed no improvement and her neurological status remained unchanged. She progressed to where she was unable to get herself out of the litter box. I spent some time with Blue Angel at the vet's office. Her vet so very generously came in to complete Blue Angel's passing. Blue Angel was in her bed which is a 1/2 carrier draped with comfy blankets. Dr. Kathy and I sat on the floor and visited with Blue Angel. I shared memories from birth and today. I was with Blue Angel at her birth and cut her cord and placed her to her mother. Blue Angel slipped away very peacefully. Afterward, I brought her home for her littermate Sami to say, Goodbye. Sami sniffed her ear, licked and nipped at her other ear. He sat by her for a few minutes. I gave Blue Angel a bath and dried her fur. She was always a soft beautiful kitty, but illness had taken it's tow on her fur. I made an impression for a pawprint. After her bath, I placed her in a coffin like box Dr. Kathy gave. I lined it with silk linen, place Blue Angel inside. I put her laser light, her favorite catnip mouse stocking, a picture of her with her littermates Sami and Shadow, a family portrait, and a peacock feather. I sprinkled some dried rose petals from her mother's memorial flowers with her. I folded the silk lines gently over her body. On top of the blanket I placed a golden butterfly. I took her back to the vet's office. Dr. Kathy's husband will complete her cremation. We'll make arrangements for a witnessed cremation. I'll be with her until her little body becomes cremains and back in my care. My little sweetheart has fluttered away. My heart is broken this night of March 27, 2010. It is so terrible to lose a real life Angel even if that angel is a Blue Angel. I know Blue Angel was only here for a short period of time. We stilled learned a lot and I'll never be afraid of having a diabetic kitty again. Thanks!!!!
Sadly Sunshine and Blue Angel.

What a lovely farewell for Blue Angel. I am so sorry for your loss, so sorry. She is free and at peace now - but I also know she will live on forever in your heart, and in your memories - never to be forgotten. Your vet is wonderful, absolutely wonderful. I had a similar experience when I lost my Corky several years ago. The compassion and caring shown by him was so heartwarming and made Corky's passing easier. I hope it is the same for you.

Take care. So very sorry for your loss. rb_icon

 

I am so sorry for your loss. Blue Angel is with her mother at the Bridge where they will patiently wait.

 

So sorry for your loss. Truly a beautiful memorial for her. My prayers and thoughts are with you :cry:

 

I'm so sad to read this...I was really hoping to wake up to good news about your little Angel. You made the right choice, but it's always so hard and so terribly sad.

 

I'm so sorry for your loss. I have never had the privilege of being with a kitty literally from the moment of birth until the moment of death. Your bond must have been incredible.

Fly free, little Blue Angel.

 

I am so sad to hear about Blue Angel. I hope you can take comfort in her peaceful passing, and remember all the good times you shared together. Your courageous decision to help her go to the rainbow bridge is a testament to your love, for I am sure you were not ready for her to go, but made the decision with her best interests in mind.

Thank you so very much for your kind words of support. I am totally impressed with your kindness and willingness to share the pain of my loss of Blue Angel. I don't think I have experienced anything this painful in a long time. I've have lost 4 Himmies in the last 4 years, I would think it would get easier but it does not. I know all the feelings, upset stomach aching moments, and spaced out times are normal but I hate the intial steps of grief. I just have to keep telling my self grief is the price we pay for having loved and been loved. Sami is struggling and becomes easily stressed if he sees me upset. I'm trying to balance the natural for me and trying to avoid upsetting him. I can't imagine losing 5 feline family members and not being able to "talk" about it. Again, thanks for your very kind words of supports during this very sad time in my life.

Lorraine, Blue Angel and Sami.
