Remember that there isn't a "right" way to grieve. You could consider memorializing your cat in a way that feels meaningful to you, like creating a photo album etc. in her memory. Remember, it's okay to ask for help and to seek comfort during this difficult time. （/TДT)/
my condolences to both ur cats
everyone grieves differently there is no right way to do it. it may be hella weird but it is still grief
it is a pity ur family is not more supportive. ur cat wasn’t “just a cat.” i am sure they were more than that, family even. i can see that you really loved them.
i am sending virtual hugs and support. grieve as long as you need.
idk if this suggestion will do any good but what about getting another cat?
It s always really hard. I ve been in the same situation. Even lost my dad... .. It s very hard. ...
So u just need to prepare yourself for something like that
I am so sorry for your loss and I am sure they were happy that they were able to have a good life with you sweetie. And about your question, I've also lost two cats before and I honetly can relate so much they were not just cats they literally were my babies, they helped me get through life even. Coming back to home to them and lying together with them was my best part of any day, I think it might be because you can feel unconditional love for the first time without any expectations from you, they only want food some care etc. and they will be together purring with you all the time it is the sweetest purest thing in the world. I would do anything for them. So my first advice is do not care about people who underestimate your love or grief, they just have not experienced or felt the same towards any pet I assume. Being able to love a little creature that wont give quantifiable things back to you is not something everyone is capable of or maybe they have not got any chance before (did not have any pets etc people's circumstances can differ) so do not blame them but just do not take their harsh words too into heart please. Please live your grief to your heart's content.
Second advice will be harder to accept but please adopt another cat if you have the chance. I know it feels like betraying your past sweethearts but it isn't. You have helped them and now new cats have the opportunity to be helped and loved by you, I am sure your cats who passed away would want the same too, for you to be happy and some other cats to feel the high amount of love they once received. It really will help you I promise, because coming back to an empty house where no cat greets you, lying in your bed when you do not have a cutie cat purring next to you will only make you remember the emptiness they left and miss them. You can help another cat by taking it in while also that cat will be there when you are missing them and feeling lonely. I am not saying to forget them, I am saying you can accept that you loved them and will always love them but you can give the remaining love you have for them to other living cute cats who would appreciate you with their whole being too. And I am sure if your cats were able to see you now they would want the same too, you and other cats being happy :)
I am so sorry about this, my condolences for both of your cats, no owner should experience the loss of their companions through such means. However I know you are griefing, but please take care of yourself, goes on little runs and do things you enjoy, I’m sure your cats would be sad seeing you down like this. Part of grief is acceptance that they are gone and knowing that it is time to move on. Don’t burden yourself with their deaths, and I beg you, don’t blame it on yourself. If you ever need someone to talk to, I’m here
I just want to vent. Feel free to scroll pass this. I'm just too sad. My cat died three months ago because the vet killed her. (I sincerely wish their clinic stops operating because they are terrible. Everyone sucked there and gave up on my cat when it was their fault when she was suddenly hospitalized there.)
And after her death, I've been feeling complete shit. I'm too upset and depressed, not getting work done. All I've done is do stress eating that made me gain a lot of weight which I'm also not happy about (it's not a healthy diet). But anyways, I don't know how to cope with grief. I've been crying on and off and at the most random times.
I can't really talk to my family or friends about this since it brings the mood down and some will say she's just a cat. I know that not everyone can relate but she was my life line and she was family. I just... I don't know what to do. I'm very much aware of the state that I am in and I've been doing self sabotage but really, I just don't know how to stop feeling this way. Even I am exhausted. It's not like it's the first time I lost a beloved pet, but she was my everything.
I just really love my cats... Yes, even her brother followed her too soon as well. He got sick, too and passed a week later after hers.
