I’m moving to a new apartment tomorrow, but my cat died on Monday. I’ve never experienced this kind of grief before, and this has been one of the most difficult weeks of my life. I want to make her proud, but I feel lost without her

To love is to lose. Feel it, categorize it, move on. They are proud of you

When my beloved kitty died unexpectedly, I found having one of his favorite toys with me to be really helpful. Whenever I was feeling sad I could just squeeze it and feel closer to him. I still sleep with it in my hand.

Keep on loving in memory of her. Get a kitten to take care of you like she did.

I eventually want to adopt another cat but I need time both to make sure my life is in order again and also to make sure I’m ready to have another one that I will be able to fully acknowledge as a new one and not project feelings of how I treated my previous one, since they won’t be the same cat
