Sadness
This may come of as a ridiculous thing for many but it brings me so much sadness.
I found out today that our kitty at dads have run away and hasn't come back yet either. Yes our kitty ran away. But he brought me so much happiness when I was feeling down and now that I will come home to dad and realize that he's not going to be there anymore makes me so sad, and to already be an emotional ticking bomb this just tops it all. I really miss my little kitty, I wish he would come back home, I wish I could hold him once more. I don't think I can put it down to words how much he means to me as well as probably no one really understands why it sadness me so much.
Yes I can understand your sadness @jowzzey. Sounds like kitty had a special place in your heart and you enjoyed seeing him at your dad's. Now you miss him so much. I think when animals share our lives we are the better for this. But we also grieve for them when we lose them. So you will be sad and grieve for the loss of kitty. This takes time and you need to be gentle with your self. It can help to talk to someone.Remember we are here for you..
Your problem is far from silly. No matter how big or small an issue appears to someone who isn't in your shoes, it can still be big for you. I am sorry for your loss, but understand that its okay to want time to grieve. You are allowed to have as much time as you need to get yourself through this. Of course, it could help for you to talk to someone, and speaking on behalf of myself and all of the other wonderful listeners here, we support you.
