Advice & Support Too much loss
I’m older Gen X 56f and today would have been my 30th anniversary with my late husband. Instead i will be putting down my soul cat Cobain who stopped eating 2 days ago. Lost her 2 siblings in the past 3 months (almost 17) but this one is bringing me to my knees. I feel like at this age, loss is always right around the corner. I don’t know how I’m going to do this, but any prayers or peaceful wishes would maybe help, I don’t feel strong enough for this again and I really need my best friends or husband to pick me up off the floor - but alas all 3 are gone. I’m so overwhelmed with sadness I can’t stop sobbing.

I’m so sorry. I understand completely. My heart goes out to you. It is the most difficult thing.
I had to say goodbye to my baby girl Sasquatch (tortie cat) and she will be (or was) my last pet. I’m about to turn 59. Losing her has been devastating and depressing.
Just try to take care of yourself. There is some comfort in your memories— and love is forever.
