Mourning 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 that you and your void are going through this.
Just don't let her suffer when the time comes.
I did it for my cat and I regret it every day since. I let her suffer a week because I was under the impression that her condition was benign (it was winter, she was getting old, I thought she just got some sort of cold) and that damn doctor didn't told me it was a terminal condition.
When I saw another doctor a week after because her condition was deteriorating fast, they told me it was late stage cancer and she was suffering a lot, I was angry with myself for letting that happen, I decided to let her go.
I miss her, a lot.
My heart is with you OP and your void.
