Rainbow Bridge Cat Coping with Loss

“I never thought I could go on living when you died, but ~ I did.

I never thought I’d get through those first days, weeks and months, but ~ I did.

I never thought I would be able to endure the first anniversary of your death, but ~ I did.

I never thought tomorrow would be different, but ~ it was.

I never thought I would stop crying for you, but ~ I have.

I never thought I would care if the sun shone again, but ~ I do.

I never thought I’d smile again, but ~ I do.
I never thought I would laugh out loud again, but ~ I do.

I never thought I would look forward to tomorrow, but ~ I do.

I never thought I’d reconcile your death, but ~ I have.

Always missing you,
Always loving you,
And thinking of you daily,
with a smile on my face..
and tears in my heart.” – Anon
