Thursday I had to say goodbye to my 14-year-old cat. There were so many health problems discovered when I had him tested at a Vet ER. A week ago I was in a Crisis Stabilization Unit, and now I lost my cat. He was so sweet, such a good companion. It's a lot to deal with now. I'm donating his food and unused cat litter, which is a small comfort. He was a rescue, but he got me through difficult times. I couldn't let him suffer. At least I was able to be there for him at the end. He died peacefully in my arms. The vet was so kind. We cried and hugged each other. If it had to end, it was a good end, even though it hurts right now.

Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job. It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it. Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown. There was a full length mirror in the changing room. I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like. It was a reality check.

Sorry for your loss.
She had been in kidney failure for almost a year. I gave her sub q fluid and kept her going for as long as she could. It was heartbreaking. She was 16. I got her as a kitten and she was always afraid, why I don’t know. But she was happy just hanging in the house and finding new places to hide out. She let be me so I let her be her. She was a comfort too, just having her and tending to her needs. She was a member of my family. A much needed member. The house feels empty now, her presence was very real. Just know that you did the best you could and when you are ready, I’m sure there is another fur baby that needs you. It never gets easier when the time comes, but I know from my own experience that you will open your heart again for another special companion.
That expression is so true: grief is the price we pay for love.
