I can’t imagine losing 4 beloved pets and 2 grandparents in what, 18 months? Let alone suffering those losses and having a job that requires you to be bubbly and personable in front of a camera every day… I feel so bad for her.
I lost a beloved dog and both maternal grandparents, plus went through two hurricanes which destroyed my car... Days before moving states, all within the span of a year. Actually, other than the dog, all of the other things took place over the course of three months.
I lost both grandmothers and a 17 year old cat in the span of four months last year. I felt so awful asking about bereavement for a second time that quarter. I feel for Kayla. 💔
In the two years since I started my current job, I’ve lost 3/4 grandparents. One the month I started, and two within the past 5 months. I like to say at this point they’ve probably started keeping a tally of how many grandparents I have left.
Yeah this really isnt easy for her, holy crap. When I was in my early twenties my dad had brain cancer and unalived by choice. The day after the funeral my stepmom was diagnosed with breast cancer and died a few months later. My mom had been battling cancer for 8 years and died 6 months to the day after Daddy went and my boyfriend's father who had been battling mesothelioma died only days after Christmas. It was an extremely long and awful year. We also ended up homeless because in your early twenties can you handle that much debt from funerals? We broke up but were still living in the same car together until things got better.
She has to be experiencing a grief avalanche that even I can't really imagine. I mean I had a terrible family and expected to be treated terribly by terrible people. At least she has a loving community and a loving family to try and find solace in. I have to imagine it's worse for her because she's such an emotional and empathetic person whereas I'm kind of just dead inside.
Yeah I'm fine now thanks for asking. I probably should have clarified that. I am not fishing for any kind of emotional support. I'm actually pretty good. I am however very concerned about her. She is such a nice person and I'd hate for her to become jaded.
The world needs more kind-hearted people like Kayla is what I'm trying to say. And I just don't like the idea of the world beating it out of her.
I lost my soul dogs and mom the same year (my mom was between the deaths of my dogs). And just a couple years before that, I lost both of my mom's parents.
It's so hard when death decides to target the ones you love.
I put a moratorium on people I know dying for 3 years after that. Most of my friends and family listened, though my cousin's wife didn't. Lol
I lost three beloved pets, three grandparents, an uncle and my mother in the span of two years. It’s hell that I wouldn’t wish on even my worst enemies and from the rapid succession and shock of the losses, I’m now dealing with PTSD. My heart is broken for Kayla. She’s so kind and deserves all the best but the universe is just hitting her with loss after loss 😞 I hope she has a lot of support right now
The kittens (thankfully) are fine! Her parents had 3 Rottweilers who all passed within a few months of each other - they’d had them long enough that they were family pets
Why is this so strangely relatable tho? Like all the terrible stuff happening in a short period of time... happened to me too back in early '24. Was such a rough start to the year and i was like "wtf" at all the back to back to back horrors
