Is it normal to be this sad because of milo?

Get a new pet

Listen,it is normal! My cat died a few years ago on my birthday. It was hard and I was anti-social for a few days. I did go to school but lost focus on a lot of things. But I realized cutting off contact with my Friends and being distant and forgetting the world around me wasn't going to bring her back. In fact,being more in contact With people helped me a lot. I still think of her on my birthday and its hard to get over death,I know but continue school,talk to friends. It helps. My dog died a few weeks ago and I was being distant and wanted to quit school but that's never an option. It'll all be ok,hon. I know it's hard but the pain'll go away, don't listen to the people saying what you did is ridiculous because its not. People have different ways of dealing with death.

It's normal to be sad but quitting school wasn't such a good idea. Go to the library and see if they have any books on grieving, particularly grieving the loss of a pet. If I were you I'd maybe see about getting some counseling and then try to start school again in the fall. Your baby cat wouldn't want you to miss out on your education.

You quit school because of this?! You stopped going outside because of this?!

It's not normal to sabotage a potentially important part of your life and become a social recluse because of the death of a kitten.

Yes, it's sad. It's always sad. But the entire world keeps turning regardless, and you shouldn't let something like this affect you in such a disproportionate way.

Do you think that kitten who was "literally an angel" would have stopped living his life if you'd died instead? Nope. He'd be chasing birds in the garden with wild abandon and not a single thought dedicated to you.

Animals live and animals die. It's the natural course of existence and you really need to wake up, put things in perspective and move the hell on. If you need a helping hand to do it, talk to a therapist. Don't just wallow in pity.

Really now?
