Mourning My void is dying and I’m sad

Post image

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.

In the quiet corners of our lives, there are companions who fill the spaces with their gentle presence. Your dear void has been a silent guardian, a little shadow who walked with you through the years, offering love without words. At 15 years old, she’s been a witness to so many moments, a comfort in times both good and bad. Though her body is tired and the time has come to say goodbye, her spirit will always linger in the places she loved and in the hearts she’s touched. She’s more than just a cat; she’s a piece of the love and memories that will stay with you forever. May her journey be peaceful, and may you find comfort in knowing she felt your love every step of the way.
