I recently lost a very precious family member and I am having a tough time coping. Is there a Lemmy-equivalent community for Pet Loss? I've done a fair amount of searching but haven't found anything active or similar. Apologies if this has been asked for the hundredth time.

Losing a dear pet never is easy, but try to find solace in the idea you where his whole life (of the biggest part of it). You gave your pet the best he could have had.

There is now forever a paw marked on your heart.

I have 2 cats, but have a room dedicated to sheltering old cats. Tl;dr I'm a palliative care unit for a local shelter and I deal with a lot of loss.

What keeps me going is that I do truly believe I give them the best "end" of their life and that even of their stays are short. I gave them all the love I have.

Feel free to reach out to me of u wanna talk, share, reminesce or just simply ask questions.
