Why is life so cruel?

[Positive2022]

For those of you who have read and taken the time to respond to my previous posts, thank you so much. Your support means so much.

After battling infertility, a stressful pregnancy, traumatic birth which left me unwell for weeks and suspected postnatal depression, yesterday I lost my beloved cat. He was only 2. He stayed by my side throughout our difficult journey and kept me feeling positive at my lowest times. He was the loveliest cat and didn't deserve this. I miss him terribly. His passing has been a tragedy, unexpected and such a huge shock. I am exhausted, tearful and just when I thought I was getting somewhere after everything we have been through, this happens. Why is life so cruel?

I guess I just need to get my feelings off my chest to all you amazing warriors out there.

Aw sorry to hear this. It’s not nice to lose a family pet especially at that young age 😢 xx

I’m so sorry to read this, I know how much our fur baby’s mean to us when we’ve walked this path xx

Thank you for your reply. Our hearts are broken. I just don't get why bad things happen to good people / pets. My husband and I are in tears as we speak. The vet said his death was caused by something incredibly rare. I just can't believe it.

I don’t understand it either, cry all you need to, he was part of the family x

😢 so sorry to hear this. I’ve never had a pet but I have had family members pass away and can only imagine that as they are part of the family it can’t be much different in terms of grief. Hope you can find comfort in memories and we are always here to listen xxx

Thank you so much for your kind words. It just feels so cruel and at a time when i've been feeling so fragile it has hit me so hard. He always knew how to make us feel better. We miss him so much. xxx

Sorry to hear this. 😢

It’s horrible when something happens to our fur babies. I have two kitties at the moment 🐱 and I would be devestated if something happened to them. X

Thank you for your response. He was a member of our family and we miss him dearly. We managed only 4 months as a complete family. Our fur babies are so unbelievably loyal, it's devastating when something happens to them xxx

((Massive hugs to you)) Our fur babies become so much a part of our families. Like your and your wee one, my two have looked after me throughout our journey - it's indescribable. So so sorry for your loss x

[Positive2022 in reply to Snowy76]

Thank you so much for your reply. We're still in shock, it happened so fast and was so unexpected. I just feel so sad at the moment when I shpuld be feeling so happy. I don't get why for some life is just so difficult at times. Hope you're okay xxx

Oh man that’s really rubbish. I’ve been through the shitty IVF journey too and my dog kept me sane. Sending love to you xxx

Thank you so much for your reply. I just don't get why for some life is just so hard at times. I've been feeling so fragile with the whole infertility battle and kept things to myself (my choice as i'm quite a private person) but on those really difficult days when yet again i'd be faced with another pregnancy announcement or the question of 'isn't it your turn yet...' my cat was there to greet me when I walked through the door after a tough day and always made me feel more positive and just when things seem to be going the right direction this happens. I feel so upset. Hope you are doing okay xxx

Oh Poppy, I'm so sorry to read your post. Our fur babies are an important part of the family and a real comfort. I feel for you and am sending hugs. xx
