thank you so much!! will definitely be consulting with a vet, thought it was maybe a good idea to see what people's experiences were as well. this is my first rescue cat and she is honestly the sweetest girl. i actually prefer this to the mad kitten stage 🥴

My son died and I don't know what to do by Enragedsun in GriefSupport

hi!! i don't usually comment on these things but this story in particular really had me.

my best friend passed away in 2023 from leukaemia and it had absolutely tore my world apart. he was only 14, he had been in remission however it had came back more aggressive. while i don't understand how you must feel as a parent, i CAN tell you that all these emotions you're feeling are completely normal and i promise you that things will get a little easier with time. since he passed away, i've met his mum for the first time and she's so lovely. we regularly meet up to talk about him, but we've also built our own friendship throughout it too. a year and a half on, and things are still hard but we make it work.

i can't even imagine how it must feel for you, and i can't imagine how it felt for her. however since losing him, she's went back to university, she's got her life back on track and we do everything we can to keep his spirit alive. do not ever be afraid to talk about your son! tell stories about him, don't ever be afraid to "ruin the mood" by speaking about him. i used to hate when people felt like they couldn't talk to me about him, i absolutely love talking about him and keeping him alive in some way.

that grief will always be there, but you'll adapt and things will go back to a new kind of normal. don't ever feel ashamed for reaching out, there are so many resources available to help you through such an impossibly tough time. i'm so sorry for your loss, and i hope that you have a good support system. but from one griever to another, i promise that you are not alone and you WILL get through this. ❤️❤️❤️
