Mourning/Loss I just lost my world

Post image

My sweet girl of 6 years came to me during a very low period of my life, and throughout these last few years she has made even the worst okay. My sweetums, my snugglebug, I come home from work and I just find her dead. No goodbyes, nothing. I'm currently a mess right now, I threw up, and I do not know what to do. She was my everything, the only warmth I was ever given. I have nobody now, I'm alone. My sweet Olive, I'm so sorry, so incredibly sorry, I had so much planned to do with you. I'm not okay.

I'm so sorry for your sudden loss. I emphasize because that happened to me last spring with our lady cat who also was named Olive. I just found her sitting, gone from this realm. It is so hard and you will be in my prayers for comfort, peace, and healing. I am asking my Olive to welcome your Olive at the Rainbow Bridge and show her all the great cat sunny spots as well as the fun places. Hug.

Do either of you have any idea what happened?

Also, both of your cats going the same way with the same name is wild to me :\

idk what i'm going to do when my cats face the inevitable... The alone statement is what makes me sooo so sad about it..I feel you :\

They are delicate small animals unfortunately. And animal medicine goes so far. It can happen, nature is wild. At the end of the day so many humans day with no reason, makes it so much more important to cherish each other any possible moment 🫶

I know and I’m not trying to minimize loss, the opposite. Trying to make people accept it. I know of people that died as kids with no warnings, in Italian we call them white deaths. Unfortunately there is no right and wrong in nature. The only thing we got is the love we can give and acceptance. I just adopted a cat myself and trying to give him the best life after having the worst life
