Raja is gone

I took her today, she wasn't getting better and it was time.

I know it's what she wanted and what I needed to do for her but it doesn't make it any easier to say goodbye. I got raja as a kitten 17 years ago and she's been with me through everything. She was my first pet, and I will always cherish the time I had with her.

 

omg! soooo sorry to hear this! shedding tears for you as I type this
Fly free Raja wings_cat

 

((((Heather)))) I am so, so sorry.

It's the hardest and most unselfish thing we ever have to do. It was her time - and thank you for loving her enough to know that, because it's never time for us. It does not matter how long we have with them, it's never long enough.

A Better Place

She’s in a better place right now
Than she’s ever been before;
All pain is gone; she’s now at rest;
Nothing troubles her anymore.
It’s we who feel the burden of
Our sadness and our grief;
We have to cry, to mourn our loss,
Before we get relief.
We know we’ll reconnect with her
At the end of each life’s road;
We’ll see her cherished face again
When we release our earthly load.

Fly free, Raja. You were loved, and will be dearly missed. Send your mom a rainbow, and let her know you are okay.

Heather, wishing you peace and comfort in your memories.

Aw Heather, so sad to read and know your precious Raja is gone. You have my deepest and most heartfelt sympathy. So many years, so many memories, so very painful and those "moments" will hit so let those tears fall. She was loved and she knew and felt that love......always remember that. Bless you for knowing it was time to help her leave.

Please put a candle up for her.

 

Oh Heather

I am crying as I type this, can barely type. I know words can not express how sad I am for you right now. My heart is breaking for you.

Terri

 

Heather - big looooong hug. I'm SO sorry Raja has gone ahead to wait. Raja knew SO much love, fly free sweet baby - have fun playing with all our GA's waiting there - Mama will pick you up on the way by when her jobs here on earth are done. Please send a rainbow to Mama so she'll know you're still in her heart.

Another hug Heather,

 

So sorry for you Heather! I came really close to doing that with Midora, but she died in her sleep the night before, with me laying on the floor beside her.

I just loved how Raja ran after Meeko, it always made me smile

 

sooooo cute! ((Meeko))

 

I'm so sorry, Heather. I know it took a lot of strength to let her go.

Fly free, dear Raja. wings_cat

I looked at videos and pictures too in the days following. It helps to remember the times when they were healthy & happy. It made me cry, but I realized I needed that reminder when the last weeks and days were so hard.

((((((Heather))))))

with sympathy,

 

So very sorry Heather! Raja will always be with you. Fly free sweet girl!

 

So sorry you lost your Raja. She will always be loved and always remembered. Fly Free Raja>>>>>>>>>>>> wings_cat <<<<<<<<<<<<<<

 

Today is hard. I am a nanny and the older kid loved raja and she's upset about her. When she asks me about raja in heaven i start crying again. It's sweet that she cared for raja but it's too painful to try to explain to her

 

Heather, big loooong hug this morning. The hole their crossing leaves is so big for a while. She may just want assurance that Raja isn't 'gone', he's just waiting in Heaven.

Hug again,

 

(((Heather)))

I'm very sorry for your loss.

Pam

 

I just don't know what to say to her, her mother told her last night and at 5 I know it's hard for her to understand and this is a time that I'm just at a loss for words. I want to try to explain to her but I can't without crying. I did promise her that if I eer decided to get another cat she could go with me but that may be a few years even I'm ever ready to bring another cat home.

 

no no no no no...... Another FDMB baby moves ahead to wait. My goodness, I wrote once, years ago... that each one of us cried when another gets the GA behind their name. I'm such a baby, it's well over two years for my Charlie, and I can't bring myself to to it... Let alone think of Spunky's passing.

Heather, the wonderful times, the laughter etc. will return, smiles will come again... I find that I'll think of something one of them always did.... and laugh.... and then... it hits... Please be sure to let yourself cry and mourn your Raja... our Raja... The one the only

My heart breaks with yours and I hug you tightly until you let go....

 

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HEATHER)))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I am so so sorry for your loss. Sending many many cyber hugs. Both you and Raja put up a good fight.. she is flying free now, whole and healthy over the Rainbow Bridge. rb_icon

(((((Heather))))), I am so very sorry

Fly free, dear Raja! I know that you know your mama loves you!

 

Dearest Heather, Kids are pretty resilient, they forgive easily and love easily. She just may be what you need to help you through some of this hurt and grief. Dont know if I am out of line saying this but just some of the things I've learned from the children I've known.

May peace follow you until you meet again,
jeanne

 

sorry for the double post. :/

 

Dear ((((Heather)))),
It is painful for us to let them go when it is their time, but they know when they are ready. You gave your Raja the best, most loving gift. Now, at the Bridge, she is not alone: all of our GAs are gathering around her in welcome. She will live in your heart until you meet again.
Fly free, sweet Raja! You are much loved. wings_cat

In deep sympathy,

Ella & Rusty and Stu (GA)

 

((Heather)) I am so sorry to see this. I know how special she was and how much you are going to miss her. Fly free sweet Raja..you will be missed.
