What a lovely and human (and not at all whiny) post. I’m working my way through the recent losses of my father and my brother and my dog, and it helps to know that grief is an experience that connects us (even when we might feel completely alone in our own individual grief). Sending so much love to you, to the kittens, and to the memories of those you’ve lost.

How lovely to see you back here! We lost our cat (of 13 years) three weeks ago today. Whilst, of course, I understood and sympathised with your loss through reading about it (both here and in the JLC), it’s only following my own loss that I can say I truly feel it. Feel it viscerally. I know it’s getting easier but, still, at moments, the grief catches me unawares in all its brutal simplicity. When the time feels right, we’ll look for another cat. After reading your post just now, I’m thinking whether we might look for two… That thought makes me smile! 🙏
