Reply To: losing a pet

We had to put down our Louie, cat, on Monday night. I’m feeling completely overwhelmed. He has been my constant companion ober 5 years of working from Home, particularly in the last year with COVID. I suffer from depression and anxiety and feel the Louie was often the only thing in my day that brought me some joy. During stressful periods, patting him, sitting with him etc all helped me to feel a little more stable and now without him I’m lost on how to cope. Everything seems more pointless without the purpose of looking after him. I start a new job on Monday and don’t know how to cope without him.
