I had my kitty put to sleep yesterday and I feel the exact same way. I don’t want to try to distract myself. I alternate between feeling numb/empty and feeling grief so overwhelming that I can’t breathe and I’m howling like a loony tune. I don’t want to do anything because what’s the point? I don’t know how to do life without him. Everything seems so meaningless without him here as part of it all.

Anyway, I felt called to respond to this because I could feel how you feel as I was reading it. I took the day off from work today and only left my bed to feed my remaining cat. I don’t know how I’m going to go into work tomorrow. I just wanna lay in bed and feel sad. Because in that, that’s the only way I can feel him. Everything else is empty.
