My void is dying and I’m sad

Just that. She’s fifteen, has cancer, I’ve had her for thirteen years and I’m devastated. I wanted to share her with everyone, as she’s brought me so much joy and I’m going to miss her terribly. I started palliative care this week, and she just took a turn for the worse. Her name is Mortimer. It’s cheesy, but she’s my best friend.

It’s a few year old, but that’s my favorite picture of her.

I'm sorry. This never gets any easier. Cherish all the happy memories. The most important things is what you are already doing through palliative care: making sure her last days are comfortable and spare her any suffering. Sometimes that's all we can do.

Godspeed.
