My cat, my cousin, and my grandma (in that order) all died in the same year (2022). For my cat and my grandma it was old age related stuff, and I was devastated. I'd had my cat since I was 4, and she was family. Even though I didn't get to see my grandma in person a lot, we talked on the phone all the time and had the most interesting conversations. My cousin is a slightly different matter. He died of complications due to alcoholism, and I honestly wasn't that sad. He was almost 40 (the age gaps in my family are super weird) and I'd only met him a few times. I was the flower girl in his wedding when I was 6 or 7, i saw him at my grandfather's funeral service when I was 7 or 8, and when I was in 6th grade I visited him and his wife and daughter in California. I never really talked to him and he never really talked to me, but now I feel really guilty because I was genuinely more upset about the death of my cat than the death of my cousin. The thing that made me saddest when he died was that his daughter would have to grow up without a father (she is now 6, and she's awesome). My mom says I shouldn't feel guilty, but, like, my cousin was a human and my cat was, well, a cat. Idk, maybe that was too much info, I'm sorry.

dont be sorrry, from what i got from this it seems like you had a closer and relationship with your cat than your cousin so if thats right then it makes perfect sense

    Last year I lost one too many people. My good friend back home in June, 2 days later my best friend, a day later my dog, a week later my granny, 3 weeks later my little cousin and a month after my brother, only one of them passed from Covid. It wasn’t easy, and just two weeks ago I lost my grams. You never get used to the loss of a loved one.

    my great-grandpa. He was the best. He did magic and told jokes and made me laugh and not once did he ever make me cry. Exept for when he passed. I lost him in third grade and it took years for me to finally accept it. I remember i talked to him a couple months before he went to the hospital and he seemed so happy. we talked over face time and it was the last time i ever saw him. I couldn’t go to his funeral because we were struggling with money so only my dad went (along with others but i hope you know what i mean.) I remember him doing a magic trick for me when we went up north to visit him he made a straw wrapper dissapear and i stayed awake that night wondering how he would get it out of his palm. He also did that thing where you would use water to make the straw wrapper come unfolded and i thought it was super cool. I miss him so much so Grandpa Dominic wherever you are just know i will always miss you and i will never forget you. ❤️

    lately i’ve especially been missing my great uncle who died last year from covid. it was really sudden and he actually had just moved out of our neighborhood a few weeks prior. i had no idea that that was the last time we were going to see him.

    both my grandparents, one of my grandmothers. I never even met my grandfather, he died before my mother had me. my grandfather died in March of 2022 and my grandmother died one day before I was going to see her for the first time in 5 years in Turkey.

    i lost one of my grandfathers in 2019 when i was in 3rd grade. I miss him a lot. I've also lost my old cat on my 9th birthday. i'm twelve now but it still hurts bc a) it was my birthday and b) he was only 1 1/2 years old. he had heart problems.
