A very very hard post for me to make

[vulgarweed]

I haven't been around much, because a week ago today, after 10 wonderful years together my dear sweet impish girl Madimi (icon photo) left me suddenly and unexpectedly.

The shock has passed for the most part and now the loneliness has set in. My friends and family have been hugely supportive, and so has my job for the most part, but I'm still barely holding it together.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry. It's a hell of a blow to lose a cherished companion at all, never mind the abruptness.

*hugs* again. She was such a beautiful girl.

I've been trying to prepare myself for the loss of my horse, whom I've had for 25 years now, for years, but I'm never sure what life without such a long time presence must feel like. Friends of mine who lost their horse suddenly some months ago found some comfort in tending mine in the morning, but I also imagine that at this point another cat might only be a reminder of your loss. So, I'm thinking of you, but I have no advice to give.

It's so so hard to lose an animal friend. I'm sorry. She's a beautiful naughty-looking kitty. I'm glad you loved each other for ten years. <3

Thinking of you. Losing a cherished companion of many years is so difficult.

I'm so very sorry for your loss, friend. Grief is hard, hard, hard.
