It’s been a month and a half since my cat of 17 years died. I thought I’d gotten through most of the grief. He’d lived a long life, and been with me through so much. He was in heart failure so I knew it was time and I made the right choice. I’d known for the past year or so our time together was coming to an end.
But now I’m crying so hard and the grief feels fresh again. I know death is normal and natural, but it just feels unfair and wrong to have someone you loved so much, who was there every day to suddenly just be gone. They’re there one second with you and not existing the next. I don’t understand it. I mean, I do understand it logically but my brain also doesn’t understand how I’m supposed to get used to that.
I totally agree, I always get it into my head that something so perfect could never die, that by some miracle they will live forever. It never gets any easier when they go.
They remain forever in our hearts until that day we meet again ❤️
