My old boy Bubu of 18 years. I think he is going to die soon. I was sad before, now I'm crying and screaming my guts out.

He hasn't been well. He's been getting older and frailer. And he is having trouble keeping his food down. I don't know what to do. I took him to the vet last year and said he was healthy but he had something wrong with his tummy. But I didn't need to worry about it now. Apparently I do. Because now he is sick. And I'm petrified I'm going to lose the last thing my mother gave me before she died. I'm in absolute agony. I cannot comprehend how this had made everything so much worse. I don't think I'm going to be able to handle it. I do not think I'm going to be able to. I don't think I'll ever be able to heal after this. I believe this is going to permanently destroy me. I'm too attached to my baby to let him go. He's all I have. I feel as if I'm engulfed in pain. He's not even gone and my thoughts are telling me I should go with him. The stress is going to kill me.

*My Maniac crying has gone numb but I was able to stop. I'm able to control my breathing as of now. But my head hurts very much rn.*

It's very sad when beloved pets pass on, particularly when you're already vulnerable. It's an inevitability, unfortunately, that one day they will go and the right way to think about it is in terms of how they have lived. They have been happy, safe and loved. When they pass they will no longer be in pain and you have given them a life that they might otherwise not have had. That is something to be proud of.

Don't waste precious moments thinking about when the end might come. Instead savour every moment.
