I think it's been 3 weeks since I lost my senior cat and I'm struggling. I lost my dog in February, too. They're such a huge part of our lives and our daily routines that there's just a void. I know I turn corners and expect to see them there. Anyway be kind to yourself and love on your boys. I know my younger cats are more social (clingy? ) since they lost their big sister.

I also understand the tendency to blame yourself but DON'T. You are a devoted and excellent cat mom and Sian does NOT want you to blame yourself. You'll see her again.
