The journey to the afterlife...💔

[չ∂αяквℓσω]

Greetings to everyone in the Zevist family. I’ve been keeping this to myself for days, but unfortunately, it finally happened—my cat passed away today…

I’m devastated by grief. She lived for a full 14 human years; she watched me grow up, and I watched her grow up. We’ve been through absolutely everything together. Over the years, she even moved homes and had to adjust all over again. In recent months, she was very ill; I noticed she was struggling to breathe. She had an incurable lung tumor, unfortunately. We’d tried treatment earlier, hoping it was just pneumonia, but unfortunately it was certain; there was nothing more to be done. Today we woke up and found her on the floor, suffering terribly—it was as if she were gasping for air she couldn’t get. We decided not to prolong her life any longer, now certain it was cancer; she was dying in agony.

We immediately called the vet; unfortunately, it was hard to find someone on a Sunday, but we managed, and we opted for euthanasia. They administered the first dose to put her to sleep and then the final dose to stop her heart… she died in my arms. We made sure to give her a proper burial… I’ve cried all my tears; I’m in so much pain…

I also performed the Bastet ritual.

I still remember her now when she was very small; I held her in my arms and rocked her. I still have many photos of her; she was breathtakingly beautiful...

And this is a portrait of the goddess Bastet, who takes my cat with her to the afterlife and watches over her soul...

As always, amazing artwork, you should really be proud of yourself.

Hail Satya.
Hail Zeus.
Hail Bastet.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I hope it brings you some comfort to know that living 14 years is a long life for a cat as it stands currently. It's like human reaching 80s. Be happy that you were there for her and provided her with companionship, comfort and safety to live full 14 fruitful years by your side.

And yes, rest assured Goddess Bastet will escort her and protect her in the afterlife.
And one day, you may meet again. In this life or the next.

Terrible. Unfortunately, a loss always leaves a huge void.

Think about how she spent 14 wonderful years with you and how much she loved it. She knows it, and maybe one day you'll have the chance to have her back. Your cat was gorgeous, A big hug, brother.

I'm sorry, man, it hurts.
Cats reincarnate as you know, I wish you are lucky enough to meet her again shortly thanks the Gods.

Thank you all so much for your support; I really appreciate it. It won’t be easy, but I have to get through this—meditation helps me a lot.

Cats reincarnate as you know, I wish you are lucky enough to meet her again shortly thanks the Gods.

But I really, really hope so; I’m ready to welcome her with open arms. In fact, I hope to meet her again—perhaps in this life and in future lives as well. I feel an extremely strong connection to her loss; it’s as if something inside me has broken…

It helps me a lot to know that she could come back to me at any moment. When the time comes—and as a Zevist, I know this well—animals have a much simpler soul than humans, and it’s very easy for them to be reincarnated. I even made her a headstone; I placed it myself in the coffin we got for her, and we gave her a proper burial…

Every now and then, when I feel sad, I go out to the garden and look at her headstone. Maybe I could perform some other rituals for her; it would be a way to process my grief...

And sometimes I wonder, I wonder where she is now...

Death is transformation. Animals (and plants, after their fashion) are ensouled. We are all fellow travelers in the Universe. For us Norse/Celtic Pagans Freyja, the Vanadis, is the special patron of cats. Your Soul Sister will find her way to Folkvangr.

I'm sorry for you loss Brother..

I hope by now you're feeling a little better and if not, may the Gods soothe you as I feel you gave your cat a wonderful full life.

Take care.

I lost my cat a little over a year ago myself. Hang in there, brother - I know how much it hurts.

 

[Chrysallida]

I'm sorry for your loss too Brother. I know how it feels when you miss someone that you spent many years with.
I loved the portrait Brother, it is beautiful! I'm very fond of Bastet, She's wonderful!

I'll share a bit of my story here:
Years ago I lost two female dogs, mother and her "daughter". The younger one suddenly got sick, with a certainly fatal disease. We did everything to save her, but time didn't help and she passed away with 9 years old. A day before she was playing around with her ball, as if nothing was wrong with her. Me and my mother was so attached to her, she loved to play with toys. Every time my mother went to my room to put something inside my drawers, the dog appeared immediately to check what she was doing in my room, being very vigilant. She loved jumping in my bed to put all my stuffed animals to the floor (this bed is only mine! ).

I still suspect that maybe it was a curse that affected her, it was during the time when we were doing the RTRs and the Returning Curses first appeared. It was too sudden that happened to her, she wasn't showing any signs of feeling ill. We cried for many days, I've loved her so much. When we buried her, I placed the ball with her.

Her mother stayed with us for a couple of time, she was 3 years older than her "daughter". But since she was older, her health started to decline. She couldn't walk anymore, her kidneys weren't working as they should, and at her age we couldn't risk a surgery. We decided to do euthanasia, we didn't want to see her suffer any longer.

When we lost our dogs, my mother didn't want to ever adopt an animal anymore. She didn't want to pass through the pain of losing it again. I comforted her, telling her that they were very happy with us, that all those special moments made us smile. At many times when I felt sad, the dogs were around to show me love, and make me feel better. They shown me the importance of living each day to the fullest, that even small things like playing with a ball was significant in their life, because it meant a lot to them to be around with their loved ones, every time they could (the older one played with the ball too).

After a while my mother went to an animal shelter and adopted a new dog. She's not like the two of them before, but she is very adorable in her own way. Very attached to me, loves sleeping in my room, sunbaths everyday in the morning (is she aura cleaning? ), and dreams every time she sleeps (sometimes she barks and growls while sleeping lol). Afterwards we adopted a male cat that chose us at the day we were moving in to a new house (he was from a neighbor that moved out and didn't return to get his cat back). The funny part is that my dog gets very jealous towards him, because she feels like she's the only beautiful one in the house. (Take the cat away! He does not belong here!)

Instead of comparing the new animals with the others, I realized that they deserve to have a place in my heart too, that it is their time to receive love, and care from the family. In the beginning there will be mourning and painful days, we will remember them every day, but eventually acceptance will come, since we know that they were taken care of in the afterlife, and their time with us was very meaningful to them. After some time you probably might find her again, reincarnated, or a new friend that deserves your love.
