Why are we born just to die?

Does life have meaning if it inevitably ends? One of my cats died 6 months ago. He was only 4 years old. The Vet thinks it may have been some form of Congenital Heart Disease. I keep blaming myself for his death. Maybe If I hadn't been playing P99 so much at the time, I would have noticed that he was getting skinner. Maybe I would have noticed that he wasn't moving around as much. Maybe I would have noticed he was eating less. I guess I will never know, but perhaps if I had they might have put him on some kind of heart medicine that would have prevented his death. It's hard thinking about this, because I know that now I can do nothing to help him. It was really difficult losing him. A lot like losing a son. I wonder if I will ever be fully better again.

When my previous dog passed away I went through a cycle just like you and I can say it does get better. You have to forgive yourself though, open your heart up and let others in. Don't blame yourself anymore for his passing because I'm certain he had a good life.

My advice would be to get another cat and give it all the love you have and the wounds will heal in time. I hope you feel better.
