What Happened

Hey guys.
I appreciate the support you've offered. Y'all are really good people, and I'm glad to have you.
I know I don't need to apologize and don't really owe anything, but I wanted to fill you in on why I've been like this.
Last week, my employer lost a month-long battle with complications caused by covid. It everyone had time to mentally prepare, and his friends and family are taking it as best they can. It just really sucked to have that happen. He was a good man.
Then, late the very next night, I ended up holding my best friend's cat as she (the cat) died as a result of being attacked by a wild animal. It was messy and painful for everyone. Honestly, that got to me more in the moment, largely as a result of being surrounded by intense grief and shock, and the suddenness of it all.
Both hurt in different ways. Neither of them is really pleasant to contemplate.
I'm okay. I'll be okay. But I'm also not okay.
I guess I just needed to talk about it.
Thanks for reading.
I'll be back soon.

I'm absolutely petrified here. Its been hard for me to keep up with your recent journals so I probably miss out on much context... But I definitely understand, just from this, why you're so distraught. I'm so deeply sorry for your employer and this once more spikes my ire towards those who think Covid is no longer a threat. That'd be 75% of Denmark. And the cat... Omg. You know how deep my love is for animals, so if that was me in your shoes... I'd be scarred for a lifetime. Its great that you get things off your chest in journals but it continues to boggle me why you don't get your cute butt on Telegram and talk to me about it in private ;. ; I'm still here, you know!
Being scared, hurt, saddened, defeated, are all terrible things that come with this life that we are all given. But those feelings also remind us of how precious the lives we have are, and how beautiful those who impact our lives are. It's why we feel so much pain when those people, pets, places and things are gone. I hope you find solace in the knowledge that just like you, all of those wonderful people, and even those who you may have only had a passing acquaintanceship with, feel those same things as you; and that ultimately we will always be together in our shared happiness, sadness, memories, and moments, whether together or apart. Take the time you need for you and your loved ones; you are the arbiter of your life, and you'll always have so many people in your life who will support you.

Terribly sorry to hear about all of that, loss is always a dreadfully hard thing to deal with, and I understand how it must feel, I do hope things get better for you and that you're alright, best wishes.
