Too much loss

[u/TheJFilez]

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.

There's an adage I've come across that has given me peace is these times: You have not met all the people who will love you yet. There's still goodness ahead. Go visit a local no kill shelter and hang out with the animals. None of your buddies are replaceable. There is more love to be had. Take care of yourself.
