when pets die and guilt.

My friend recently lost her dog. Today I lost my goldfish, it would be natural to think that it was a bigger loss to lose the dog - but I'm crying my eyes out as well!  And everyone tells me to relax, that's its just a goldfish, but I actually felt a connection with the fish, oddly as it sounds. Even stranger, I dreamt that it died this night, but it felt more of an 'alarm' disturbing the real dream.

It had been in a muddy bowl for a while, I kept postponing the cleaning of the bowl. And today, the very day I bring the bowl to clean it by the sink - it lays there dead :( I feel its all my fault. The fish is free now, but I feel so bad for 'killing it slowly'. I should have cleaned the bowl weeks ago. I can't get over the guilt, and I realise its just a goldfish.

I just wonder if any of you had lost a pet that made an impact on your life, how do you cope- and how does one cope with guilt?

"And yes it really is a loony bin here as you say. We have really gone downhill since falling into limited consciousness in my opinion. Atleast things are getting a little better and we are heading towards better times."

"Lol could be anything.. Why don’t you follow and find out? 30K could be fake followers. Sounds like you dodged a bullet!
Some people never really grow up mentally and I think that’s why the world is still a loony bin."

"Haha exactly!! They looked like they eat way too much McDonald’s. I just stared them down and let them have their moment while I stayed unbothered.😹 And yes, life is way too short for toxic friends, good to hear that you left that energy in the past!"
