I was severely depressed after the loss of my first pet, it’s brutal

They are our family and we don’t deserve our pets

I’m abroad right now and was on FaceTime with my parents as my childhood cat was put to sleep a week ago. It hurts so bad. I have never cried like that before. And I know it will hurt so much again when I get back home and he really is gone

I’ve had my cat since I was 4 years old. I literally can’t remember much of my life without her. From the time I was a toddler to now as an adult I’ve always been able to come home to her on both my best and my worst days. Every time I’m sick she comes and purrs on me because she just somehow knows I’m not feeling well. When I cry she comes to rub against me. Her life is coming to a close and i genuinely don’t think I can handle losing her. That’s my best friend
