I’m struggling with this right now after losing my kitty and my irl best friend just months apart. I’ve hit a point of pure jealousy that they will never have to see any of the evil happening today and will never feel the pain I feel. Is it possible to ever move past this?
I wouldn’t presume to say; I’ve never had personal experience with that feeling, but it’s valid, I empathize, and I’m sorry you had to deal with this loss – let alone so close together. The best I think I can say is that there are still sweet, innocent animals just like your kitty and good people just like your best friend who are still with us and who still feel the weight of the world. Like before, I think the best way to honor those who’ve passed is to hold onto the memories you shared together and to use those as your rock while you do good to others like you would’ve done for them and they would’ve done for you. I can’t say for certain you have the power to change your community online and off; I can say you always have the power to do your best.
I hope things get better in your world and in our world, and I’m sure both of your companions would’ve understood how hard things are right now. There are psychological models that deal with “I feel a way, and I don’t want to”, but I’m not a psychologist and never will be, and frigid regurgitation of clinical models at you isn’t, I’m sure, what you or anyone outside a classroom needs.

I’m sorry. It’s never fair. I wish the best for you <3
