I just lost my kitten and I just can't get over her eyes looking at me as if she was asking for help and I couldn't do anything I tried to do everything I could but it seems like I killed her I never wanted that but I think I killed her her face and eyes are a constant reminder of her and I think I should die to it's just to painful

My dog Izzy just passed today I’m really emotional so I’ve been crying a lot and I can’t get over it...

[sachawylie]

Just lost my fish tonight, I know people think you can't get attached to them, but I loved her a lot and already miss her terribly. Also feel babyish as I've been crying all day, whilst my parents haven't shed a tear.

Rip Fanta you will be sorely missed ♥️🐟
