I sob like a kid every time. They are purely innocent and loving. The grief is correspondingly pure.

Yeah, she was a perfect person

I'm finally not crying after seeing pictures of voids after losing mine a few years ago. Sorry for your loss, it gets better (eventually)

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lost mine last may, void pics are still pretty rough. Best fucking cat ever. I'll get there prob.

[–] TTH4P@lemm.ee 4 points 23 hours ago

You and me both :(

[–] TTH4P@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago

That's reassuring. Sorry for your loss, also.

I share your sadness. Ater enough time you’ll think of her and remember how happy you made each other and smile. But for now, sadness. You were lucky to have each other.

[–] TTH4P@lemm.ee 16 points 1 day ago

I'm gonna have the dreams for awhile. But I'm grateful for the time we had.

I’m so sorry, internet friend.

[–] TTH4P@lemm.ee 15 points 2 days ago

Thank you. She was very special.

So sorry for your loss. We lost our little black cat, Bob, far too young several years ago and he was the gentlest, sweetest boy. I’m sure Alice was loved and loved you back just as much.

[–] TTH4P@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago

Thank you, I'm sorry about Bob too.

I had a void that meant the world to me, so I know how it feels. I'm sorry you have to go through it. :(

[–] TTH4P@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago

Thank you so much

She was beautiful 😍

I have a void that had one white whisker and lost it a few days ago. What was her name?

[–] TTH4P@lemm.ee 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This little girl was Alice :)

What was your void named?

[–] liverbe@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I have 3 voids 😐

Clyde, Spy, and Bennie

There is no such thing as too many black cats. They're good luck!

[–] choss@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm really sorry, OP. I have no words of wisdom. I just know it hurts, and I'm sorry

[–] TTH4P@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[–] LaserTurboShark69@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What a little sweetie. I'm sure she left happy and grateful.

[–] TTH4P@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Thank you, I hope I made her feel loved :)

[–] bcgm3@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

It only takes one picture for a complete stranger to know that you did.
