Sadie’s Heart
Loving, Advocating for, and Losing My Sadie
The story of my beautiful Sadie and her heart condition, the battle for treatments to prolong her life, and her ultimate passing comes straight from my heart—and Sadie’s.
I wrote this book for the people who understand that a cat can be your soulmate, and that losing them can leave a space no one else knows how to fill.
My Soulmate Kitty
“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.”
Helen Keller
Losing my precious girl, my soulmate cat, was one of the most painful things I have ever experienced. I felt so alone during that time.
Even the support of friends and the daily calls from my then-boss Richard Simmons, urging me to get out of bed, could not erase the deep pain in my heart.
On the seventh day after Sadie’s passing, I got out of bed, and I wrote Sadie’s Heart. I wrote it for me, but I also wrote it for YOU—you who are experiencing the loss of a soulmate cat or dog, and the pain of that loss.
Often, our friends mean well and tell us to “get over it,” or “it’s only a cat.”
As you and I know, it is just not that easy.
This book is my story of loving Sadie, advocating for her, and learning to live with the grief of losing her.
With Love,
Sadie’s Mommy
