Grieving that people and pets are gonna die on me, while they are alive. Example, affection for my cat, is tainted with grief that she is old and will die soon.
Not to mention the daily sadness when I see my parents, now in their 80's.
It is insane to spoil time with them doing this, and I guess I put myself through the grief process several times instead of one big one. Sometimes I think it is a form of preparation, but then instinct tells me the heartbreak will not be lessened when it happens. Sometimes I pray I go first, before the big deaths which are drawing closer.

I understand about your pet. One of my dogs, the one in the picture, is about 14 and I'm watching him lose abilities and some other health, knowing my time with him is narrowing. I want to be here for him when he passes because there's no one else to care for him and it would not be a good thing to go first. I agree that having time and awareness is a form of preparation. It's still hard to watch them lose some of their vitality and be in some discomfort. I'm glad you still have your parents, it sounds like you are close, maybe they will have many more years here with you.

As an avid pet-lover, I wish I could meet your dog at least once.

I would pet your cat, assuming she trusted me enough to do so.
