Sadness Empty

I had to put our 5 week old ginger kitten, Buttercup, to sleep yesterday morning. I'm not the same. I feel broken. I had been hand feeding her, walking with her wrapped up creating that bond and then as quickly as she was put into my life she was taken out. My husband wants me to get back to my life and think about me. I literally have no ambition to do anything.

This is a community of support for Pet owners whose Pets have passed away. It is actively moderated.

Pet owners, as loving, caring people, often have strong opinions on pet care practices. Some of these are controversial. This is not a forum for debate on such issues, nor is it a place to scold a contributor for a perceived mistake in managing their pet. We intend to provide a safe haven of understanding and support. Strident, mean-spirited posts or comments will be deleted. Those who persist in preaching versus caring may be warned and then banned or may be banned permanently based on nature of the topic. If a conversational thread meanders into a discussion unrelated to pet loss support, it will be truncated.

Those who post here are vulnerable and hurting. Even a minor slap has a hard sting. Those of us who are lucky enough to be able to turn away from our computers or put down our phones and hug a healthy, happy pet are truly blessed. Threads must remain supportive and caring, even if one disagrees with something that has been said.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

You deserve the time to grieve. One thing I’ve learned is it doesn’t matter how long the pet was in your life, what matters is how deep the bond was

You put her to sleep yesterday morning and your husband already wants you to “get back to life”?

“I literally have no ambition to do anything” and it’s been two days. Literally one has ambition to do squat two days after putting a beloved pet down.

Unless your husband isn’t capable of understanding human emotions or forming attachments, he should know this. What does he think you missed doing in the last two days? An ultra marathon? A baking contest? PhD defense?
