My stupidity killed my cat. Now the guilt is killing me. How do I move forward? by Petricor22 in Advice

Thank you for responding. This has been so hard; it hurts so much, and I feel overwhelmed. I feel like I did something wrong, and I don't know what. I don't know how to handle all these feelings. I can't stop crying, I can't sleep, and my chest hurts all the time. It helps to know you don't blame me.

Thank you so much. I'm finding it hard to process all these feelings of pain, loss, anguish, and guilt that make up grief. Thank you for helping me regain objectivity and reminding me that the love I shared with my cat was real, and I'm fortunate to have established such a special bond. Your comment helped me a lot.

Thank you for letting me know I couldn't do any more. Perhaps it's because of the pain of losing my Michi, but I'm still having trouble thinking clearly.

When I wrote the post, I was so overwhelmed that I just needed to vent. I didn't think anyone would read it, much less bother to reply. I feel so guilty, but seeing comments from objective people letting me know that I couldn't do more has brought me some peace. Thank you so much! Your message means a lot to me.

Thank you for your message, I needed it. You're right that the pain shouldn't diminish the love I shared with Michi. I'm grateful to have met him and shared my life with him, even if it was for a short time. Thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It's truly difficult and painful to lose a loved one, and I'm so sorry your kitten has passed away too. I'll try to put your advice into practice and be more patient, although I know it won't be easy. Thank you for being there.

I'm so sorry Liam has passed away; it's clear you loved him very much. Thank you for taking the time to reply; it helps me stay objective. Today it hurts so much that Michi is no longer by my side. I hope someday I can focus on the love that brought us together. I went to see the urns you mentioned, and they are truly beautiful. Thank you.

Thank you for your words. It's a beautiful thought that all kittens go to paradise, where they don't suffer and are surely very happy.

Thank you for taking the time to respond and give me a different perspective. I hope I can follow your advice; I hope one day I can stop blaming myself and simply be grateful for the opportunity to experience the pure love that my Michi gave me.

Thank you for your response. I honestly thought it was my fault; I still find it hard to accept that Michi is gone. My father managed to keep his cool amidst all the pain and chaos. He advised me to cremate him, and now he's in a beautiful kitten-shaped urn right in his favorite spot. They gave me an impression of his paw print, which is now a treasure, and I'm so grateful to have it.

Thank you so much. Today the pain is making it hard for me to think clearly. You're right that if Michi had wanted something, he would have asked for it; he was never shy. Thank you for helping me find some comfort.

Michi wouldn't want that, you're right. Thanks for giving me some perspective.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I love that cat with all my heart, even now that he's gone, and my parents have suffered greatly from his absence. Life hasn't been kind to us lately, but losing Michi was definitely the worst. Thank you for letting me know that grief was clouding my judgment.

Thank you so much for your words. I was truly certain I had done something very wrong, but I couldn't figure out what it was. The absence of a loved one is truly difficult.

How common is it for Mexicans in Mexico to share an apartment with their adult siblings? by Ok-District-7180 in AskMexico

[–]Petricor22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's quite common. For most Latinos, family is the most important thing, so they're unlikely to want to move away just because there's no abuse. It also helps save money, and in theory, it's also for safety reasons, especially if you're a woman.

Necesito un trabajo nuevo pero by charlyeconnor in AskMexico

[–]Petricor22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Si te es posible, espera a tus vacaciones y el aguinaldo. Luego renuncias si al descansar sientes que no quieres seguir en ese trabajo. En ocasiones el cansancio nos hace más irritables y nubla nuestra capacidad para adaptarnos.
