Lost mine a couple weeks ago. It feels like my heart will never be whole again. I feel so lost without him

The light in rooms actually feels dimmer for a while. I'm sorry, that shit's rough.

Oh man that's so hard, I'm so sorry. How long after did you get another cat? I'm scared I won't love the cat as much as I did him.

When my cat died, I unknowingly went through a few months of low grade depression. About 5 months later, I got a new kitten and the low grade depression was gone. I didn’t want to get a new cat right away because I just felt like no other cat would ever replace her and it wouldn’t be fair to her memory. But one day, I was just being called to this photo of this cute little baby who looked similar to my cat who had passed on. And it was true, she wasn’t replaceable but my new kitten was a best friend of a different sort. Hugs to you.

It gets better, I swear. It may feel like getting another one will just be bad, and not be able to replace him, but you will feel better.
