How do you get over the loss of a special pet?

Lend Me A Kitten

I will lend you a kitten for a while, God expressed

For you to love while he lives, and mourn when he’s at rest

Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or maybe two or three.

But will you, ’till I call him back, take care of him for me?

He’ll bring his charms to gladden you and, should his stay be brief

you’ll always have his memories as solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return.

But there are lessons taught below I want this kitten to learn.

I’ve looked the whole world over in search of teachers true.

And from the folk that crowds life’s land I have chosen you.

Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labor vain?

Nor hate me when I come to take my kitten home again?

My heart replied, “My Lord, Thy Will Be Done”

For all the joys this kitten brings the risk of grief I’ll run.

We’ll shelter him with tenderness, we’ll love him while we may.

And for the happiness we’ve known, forever grateful stay.

But should you call him back much sooner than we planned.

We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand.

If, by our love we’ve managed your wishes to achieve,

Then in memory of him who we loved, please help us while we grieve.

When our cherished kitten departs this world of strife,

Please send yet another needing soul for us, to love all his life.

Hoping this is helpful. I am so sorry for the loss of your cat. Pets mean the world to many of us and it hurts so much when we lose them.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It may take time before she will stop grieving. Tell her to remember the happy memories and that the cat wouldn't want her to be sad.

I hope everything gets better; I know how precious pets can be.

The spirit of a animal still lives on.
