🌈 MEMORIAL / MOURNING 🕊️ Lost my best friend of 19 years on Sunday, it still doesn’t feel real. I thought he would live forever. He was with me through some of the worst days of my life and was with my family through their toughest days. He was truly a gift from God. Rest in Peace Mr. Jinx💔

Mr. Jinx lives inside you. I know OP that it hurts so very, very bad, and it does because you loved him unconditionally. Being able to love that way is a gift, and he loved you the same way. Be extra gentle, patient, and kind to yourself.❤

I lost my soul cat after 19 1/2 years a few years back, and I still miss her. But I can remember her now without pain. I hope you can find peace in his memory and that you gave him more love than most creatures ever feel.

Wow, that kitten was the same age as me. I guess you and your family took really good care of him and loved him a lot. I hope you and Mr. Jinx meet again at the end of the rainbow someday 🌈🙏✨

Grief is love with nowhere to go. It hurts. Badly. I've had to mourn the loss of family members and pets. You'll always think of them. They'll never leave you as long as you keep their memory alive. Time will partially heal the wound but you'll never forget, and you'll always love him.

Awww. What a doll. I'm sorry, OP. Losing a kitty BF is the WORST. Especially when they grace us with their presence for such a long time.

He couldn't live forever, and you probably knew that. But that doesn't change the want. Though you are now alone on your walk, remember the strength he gave you. You can do it, and one day, maybe you'll be ok. But just take it one day at a time for now.

I’m so sorry. He looks like my Roosevelt who died almost a year ago. Grief is not linear; it will get easier over time, but the hole in your heart will never fully close. Rest in peace Mr. Jinx!

Sorry for your loss. He was a handsome boy . I rescued a boy when I didn't need another cat. Can't imagine my life without him now. Tuxedos are so cute. Don't know how to post a pic yet but I hope you know I hope you heal. They're plenty to adopt and give a better life to. I became a cat person after burying my first best friend. A black Lab/German shepherd mix. You will always remember them. Hope you feel better soon

Very sorry for the loss of your beloved fur baby. 😿 They never stay long enough for their human companions, and they leave deep paw prints on our hearts. RIP Mr. Jinx, may you now run freely and unencumbered at the Rainbow Bridge.
