- I have stressed and agonized over this video as whether it's too long or if I could have summed it up in a shorter or different way instead of going into all the details of each day. I even filmed this video twice because the first time it was way over an hour long and I forgot to mention a bunch of things because my mind was so scattered. In the end there were parts of each video I did that I liked and wanted to include but didn't have the strength to fully re-film. My brain is fried and I forgot to wear the same outfit in both versions I filmed so you are going to see my outfit change from time to time. I'm sorry about that. I had seriously considered re-filming in hopes of it being shorter but I didn't want to delay putting this video any longer as it's already been almost a week. But I needed to share the full story for me to process it all. If you stay the whole hour, God Bless You! Here are some timestamps if you which to skip to certain parts:

This video just broke my heart all over again 💔.
Krystle, there are no words to express how sorry I am for the loss of beloved Riley. You know how much I adored that boy. And you know I feel the same way you do about fur babies.
Without undermining the love others feel about their little ones I have to say it’s much harder for those of us, who do not have any kids.
Charlie is my son. I do not think of him as a doggie. He is my baby, my real son. I have been dreading the last day for the past like 10 years because I feel I will die from a heartbreak when he leaves this earth. Sometimes I would wake up in the middle of night with this fear.
So I know how much this hurts you to lose your baby Riley. It’s like your heart is ripped out of your chest. I cannot even. This past few days you have been on my mind constantly.
I burned candles to help shine the way for Riley when he crosses over.
I take Charlie everywhere with me. He never was without me one night ever. I cannot imagine him not being here. 😔
The emptiness we feel when they’re gone is unbearable.
I wish I lived closer so I could help somehow- at least to come over and bawl with you.
You and Aleks have been the best parents to your boy and will be forever. You will see him again. I firmly believe that. Love doesn’t disappear, it just changes the form.
Rest In Peace and run free at meadows of Rainbow Bridge, precious Riley 🙏🏻❤️.
You are so loved by your mommy and daddy and all of us who knew you on this earth.
Sending my love and hugs to you, dear friend ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.
Thank you Katie. I agree with you completely. He was definitely our child. And he seemed to have qualities that weren’t always usual cat behaviour. Sometimes he almost seemed part dog or part human to me lol. That cat could carry on a full on conversation with me as you know. I feel he was definitely sent to us for a reason. ❤️ It’s been hard. We brought home his blanket, ashes, fur clipping and paw print. The fur clipping hit me the most. I was ready to bawl over it but kept it together for Aleks. After he went to bed I cried.
I agree with you about us ladies without human babies. I feel the same way about my dog and cat I have now. I dread those days to come but also cherish the ones I have now with them to give them love and have their love.
@@LifewithKrystle I would totally lose it making this video and when they brought you his fur.
You held up pretty well considering everything.
They say we can survive everything. And pretty much we do but this - this is like burying a child to me.
I wish you lived closer. You could come over when Aleks is at work. To take your mind off of things for at least few short moments.
You know I’m here anytime if you need to talk or just cry. I’m pretty good at crying 🙏🏻💔.
@@babypeanutpie Thank you, I’m glad you ladies agree. I just think we get bonded to fur babies and the fact we have nobody (children) makes it so much harder.
They are our babies, our best friends, our companions. For many the only companions during the days or nights. 😔
It’s just not fair they live only this long. They should live at least 30 years 😔.
Love you girl Riley is no longer sick and he's at peace. And he loves you very much.
Hugs 😭🤗💙🦋❤️🌈🌟💕❤️
Oh, Krystle... I've been there. Same disease with a male kitty of mine. It's absolutely heart wrenching. I'm so so sorry. You are in my prayers. The loss of a pet is so difficult.
Krystal can't tell you how sad and sorry I am for the loss of Riley😔 It's always hard to say goodbye to a family member❣️ Hold on to all the good memories our pets are a blessing❤️ my deepest sympathy❌🙏
I am so sorry for your Loss. Riley was loved by your wonderful family. I am a cat owner and understand. Hang in there.
I am so sorry. Riley was a sweet boy you could tell he was happy in the videos. Hugs and prayers from Phoenix, AZ.
Oh my, please accept my deepest sympathies! RIP kitty. I am so sorry for your loss. He will be missed!
I couldn't watch when I first got the notification. I knew I would cry the whole time. I am so sorry for your loss! We all loved Riley. I am still sending love, hugs, and prayers to you and Aleks. ❤❤❤
Oh Krystle So so sorry for the loss of your beautiful Riley He had a wonderful life with you He is at peace now💔
Krystle I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s so hard when our pets pass I lost my dog in February I know what your going through. We had our dog cremated. Riley was a sweet cat loved seeing him on your videos sending Prayers And hugs to you and Alek 🙏🙏🙏🌈
I am so sorry krystle . He was such a beautiful cat and each and every one us will miss him.
RIP Riley we miss you
i am so so sorry for the loss of your kitty cat. i know the feeling and it is gutwrenching, you were a wonderful mommy to that kitty, may she rest in peace.
So sorry for your loss Krystle. He was suck a sweet adorable cat. I lost one of your pets this week too. Rest in peace little buddy.
So sorry for your loss as well. It’s so hard. I can’t believe it’s already been a week since we lost him. It seems like yesterday
Couldnt hold back my tears. It reminded me of when i had to put my baby Charlie down.
So sorry for your loss((( Poor Riley, he was such a sweet cat. He had a great life with you.
I am so very sorry for your loss. I loved seeing him in the videos. Rest easy Riley
I veel very sad for you, I always loved to see sweet riley appear in your video’s 😿you took so good care of HIM. May he rest in peace.
I'm so sorry for your loss. He will be missed. Riley was a great cat. I remember in one of your videos, you mentioned that you chose him because he was chatty. I loved watching him in your videos. 💙
Riley became such a part of all our lives (your viewers). I've been watching your channel for years, and Riley was just such a presence, and like so many others, I fell in love with him. I have a cat named Riley too (our cat is a ginger boy). I always loved seeing how loved your Riley was, and have laughed along with you at his meows and antics. He really did have the best life with you, Krystle. What a beautiful loving home you provided him; he knew nothing but the purest love from you and Aleks. I hope you can find comfort in knowing this, as we could all see just how pampered and happy and content he was in your videos. Always getting cuddles from his mommy and daddy. Having to say goodbye to a fur-baby is so devastating, and I wish I could take away your pain. Riley is no doubt playing over the Rainbow Bridge and watching you and wishing he could comfort you as he has always done. He truly was the best boy - and a very loved member of our CZcams reborn community. Sending you and Aleks my heartfelt condolences xx
Thank you so much. ❤️
I am so sorry to hear about Riley. My condolences
I am so sorry for your loss.This really makes me sad. It broke my heart to see your sadness as well. He truly was so very special. Sending big hugs and loads of love to you my friend. ❤❤❤
I am so very sorry Krystal I know how much Riley meant to you as I have watched you for many years and enjoyed seeing him. My heart goes out to you and Alec as I so remember years ago my sweet Molly getting so sick and having her put down. Pets are a part of our family they are family..again, I am truly sorry and praying for both of you!!!❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I am so sorry for your loss, our fur babies are family, sending prayers to you and hubby.
I am so sorry. We all loved him so much.
So sorry for your loss of your kitty Riley I know how hard it is to lose a fur baby so many in the last few years it's not a funny thing or easy thing to go through my heart goes out to you and prayers that you can get through this sad emotional time
Hi Krystal such a sad and heart warming video so sad for you to have to make.RIdey was such a lovely cat so loved by you and alex.i put off watching it and did today was crying for you and lovely Ridley you were such a special mummy to him your buddy sending love and hugs xxxx
I feel your pain and sorrow. I know what this feels like - all too well. Sending a warm hug and gentle thoughts your way (through my tears). Please accept my deepest sympathies. x0x0
I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my prayers.
So sorry to hear that krystle In older videos I could see how much u and your hubby loved Riley you will be in my prayers
This video was so hard to watch. We all loved Riley so much and his photos and videos brought us so much joy. But Riley was your precious baby boy. It must have been one of the hardest decision that you and Aleks had to make together. But you put your pain aside and did the right thing. To set Riley free, so he could cross over the Rainbow Bridge where he would be greeted by Sneaker, Boots, Maggie and Katie. I cried on the day you put Riley down and I cried again watching this video. You and Aleks have my deepest sympathy in the loss of Riley. Hopefully has the days and weeks pass by all the wonderful memories you have of Riley will help to ease your pain. I love you both very much and you are in my thoughts always.
Love mom
I’m so, so sorry. It’s just heartbreaking to let them go, I really believe he was telling you he was ready. I had a dog many years ago who suffered a mild stroke and he did the circling thing, always in the same direction. It’s very distressing. Praying in time you will be able to laugh and smile again and the precious memories he gifted to you. Run free from illness Riley 🌈🙏 xx
Thank you. Yes Riley too seemed to always circle in the same direction as well. Always to his left. So walking counter clockwise. It was scary enough to see the first time but to see it in his final days where it was almost constant was very distressing to me so I can only imagine how he felt. 😞
@@LifewithKrystle Yes Timmy went to the left every time. You always wonder that because they can’t speak, it was the same with my Tasha Beagle when the end came because of her epilepsy. But the truth is they do speak to you in a much deeper and far more honest way than words, we heard our babies say they’d had enough xx
Oh my gosh I'm so sorry I send my condolences . He was one of my fav CZcams stars he will be forever missed. He will always be in your heart and watching down on you amd Alec. Sending love
I am soooo sorry for your loss. Riley was a beautiful cat, I will miss him in your videos. I know you both loved him soooo much and gave him the best life. I cried along with you in watching this video, He will be forever in our hearts. I know as you said, He is no longer in pain or suffering and joins my cats from the years i've had them over the Rainbow Bridge. I have 3 rescue cats with my 13 year old staffie still and two are just 13 years old and 1 will be 16 years old on the 20th of May, I know i will not have her much longer and will have to face that pain again myself........Chin up Krystle, you gave Riley the BEST LIFE............R.I.P. dearest Riley... xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Love to you both Krystle and Alex.............Love and much Sympathy Ellie, Cocoa, Biskit Bayleaf, Calico Tia and poorly deaf (1 year now) staffie Tigzee Sheba Tigerlily xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sending hugs and prayers. Riley will be missed by all

Hi, I am so sorry. I always enjoyed Your Videos w/Riley. At the end ofJune 23rd then 30,2020We lost Our Boy & Girl they were litter mates. We took them in at 3 & a half wks. They passed before their 18th Birthday. We watched them be born on our porch July 2nd. I hope You will or have rescued another into Your loving Home😷Stay Safe🤗Hugs🐽Warm Fuzzy❤Love, Sheryl
So sorry for your losses. So close
Together too. I can’t imagine how difficult it was.
@@LifewithKrystle Thank You. Yes, very hard.
I’m sorry for your loss of your fur baby!
My heart goes out to you and Aleks...but rest assured, Riley is at peace.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ sending your lots of love ❤️ he was very special 🤗
I am so sorry for the loss of Riley. He was such a sweet kitty. At least he's joined in heaven with my cats Maggie, Linkin, and Lightning, along with my sister's deceased cats as well :(
Hello Krystle , I’ve following your channel for a few years now but I normally don’t make comments on the channels I watch only in a few occasions like now. I have a son , 5 reborn babies and a 11 years old Yorkie dog girl who’s the love of my life besides my son , so I wanted to tell you in the midst of your unfortunate lost I say to you HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY! Yes because you’ve been a mother of a furry baby boy and a very loving and excellent one when someone is a pet parent has basically the same responsibility to care and love him as you would a human child , whenever I take my Yorkie to the vet they refer to me as Precious mom , Precious is my Yorkie by the way. So my point is that you should not feel sad of not having a human baby yet because you are a mother already. Always have trust and faith in God with him everything is possible, God bless you and your husband 💐
Awe So Sorry For Your loss in my Prayers poor Riley Rip sweet Riley
I'm so sorry for your loss :( I know it feels to lose a cat. You gave him a great life! Hugs and prayers.
Oh, Krystle, I am so sorry that you have had to let your Riley go. I had no idea what you were going through these past months as remember I haven't been on CZcams because of babysitting my great--grandson but I do recall when Riley first became sick and then seemed to recover. That was quite a while back. You did all you could and more for him this time around, and In listening to you ( I did listen for the entire video ) I definitely felt like he was your baby, and the bond with him was so deep. It so resonated with me when you said he was your kid. Grief hurts so much as you already know from losses in the past. Making this video and the memorial one will surely help in honouring Riley's precious life with you. He was an adorable cat and so talkative and lovable. I was moved to hear that he would stay with you when you were sick. Cats will do that. I will be thinking of you a lot in the next little while. Take care and know that Riley in spirit form will watch over you. I believe that. Love from Jen.
Thank you Jen! ❤️
Hi I just wanted to say that I cried along with you Riley was the most special cat in the world and yes all of his CZcams friends will miss him I miss him too and I loved him and I just want to say Riley will never forget you we will never ever forget you rest in peace little buddy we will always remember you thank you for being a cat you were in letting us be a part of your life I love you
He is still with you remember that he's never gone I believe in the rainbow bridge and death isn't the end he will be so proud he went with dignity and you have amazing strength x
Big hugs to you Krystal! Sorry for your loss. XO
I'm so sorry for your loss. Sending you love and strength 💕
I am so sorry. We all loved him so much. My heart is breaking for you. 💔 You gave him the happiest life.
I have watched your channel for years, but lately as Riley got older and became sick I was dreading this moment for you. Riley was a special cat with two special people in his life, you both took wonderful care of him and I could see how much you all loved each other. Thanks for sharing and explaining the end of life process for our pets, it will be helpful to many. Best wishes from Scotland and rest well Riley.
So sorry for your loss. It took me 2 days to finish this video, its so difficult to deal with the loss of the member of the family.
Aww thank you. ❤️ Sorry the video was so long ❤️
@@LifewithKrystle it took 2 days to watch cause of how emotional it made me feel.

Krystle. I have just had a cat 🐈 😓 put to sleep unfortunately it was sudden. I was with her when she got put to sleep. She will forever be in my memory and in my heart 💔 I am so sorry. I can relate to how much you loved him I love animals and I really cried I could feel the emotional connection you had to him. Even though for personal reasons I have come away from the hobby you and Riley have always been a channel and the cats watch. Rip radical Riley you will always be special to us I found you in 2017 and your channel has got me through some of the hardest times your real and so genuine. I really love the raw emotion you put into this he will live on and he will watch over everything. X
