I have had a lot of sadness and a lot of loss but the one that effected me the most was the loss of my beloved dog Bubbles. She was just amazing and was a great comfort for me. She was so loveable and knew when I was down and needed some love, everyone adored her. It has been over 6 years since we lost her and I still miss her. There is a special place in my heart just for her.

The saddest moment in my life was when my 4 1/2 month old daughter Marlowe died from SIDS. She was the love of my life. My marriage fell apart shortly thereafter and I ended up having a mental breakdown. Really didn't help when people online began blaming me for her death because I had her vaccinated. The worst part of everything (besides not being able to see my beautiful baby grow into a woman) is that I will never know why she died. Some beings are just too good for this world. I trust that I will see her again one day.

When I had to put my cat, my best friend, down. He was by my side, almost 24/7, for 15 years. A simple hairball caused him to not eat properly for a few days, which I didn't know, causes serious organ problems. The vets and I did everything possible to save him, but eventually I had to put him on hospice and then had to put him to sleep. It's been 4 years, but I still think about, and miss him, every single day.

When I was younger I had severe anxiety. To the point where I could not leave my house without thinking "Everybody I know and love is going to die." I got so sick. I would not leave my home except for school but if I did I felt like I was going to through up. And I did, quite a lot. I got over my anxiety a few years ago and I have never felt happier.

My saddest moment was a continuous moment that lasted a year roughly. In chronological order;
My husband committed suicide while my son and I were in the house with him.
1 month later my "adopted" neighbor son, whom I was very close to his entire life, died in a car accident
2 months later my beloved grandmother died unexpectedly. We were like sisters.
3 months later my sister-in-law's father died.
3 months later my oldest son was killed by a negligent driver at the age of 29 while on his vacation. His death hit me the hardest.
2 months later one of my best friend's father died.
2 months later I almost died in the hospital from loss of blood. I lived but was left with permanent organ injury.
Same month another very good friend of mine lost her daughter. She grew up with my kids.

It was many years ago, but I will never forget. My husband kidnapped our 2 year old son and took him out of state where he was living with another woman. He didn't take our older son because the school would not let him. I was working at a low paying job and trying to support the two of us. We had very little money for food, and he cried because he was hungry. I would go to the convenience store and write a hot check to get gas and food, praying that it would not go through before I got my paycheck. My husband and I ended up getting back together and we raised our boys together. I had to do a lot of forgiving.

When I first started telling myself, as a child, that I wasn't worth it. Years of self-harming, suicide attempts and being diagnosed with Bipolar, eating disorders, PTSD, OCD and body dysmorphic disorders. I wish I could tell my 'child self' that I was worth it, and I'm a warrior and will battle through anything!

umm, mine seems a little minor next to all of these, but we've had so many cat deaths in our family, and they have died painfully, but this one was actually my cat in my grandma's house. My cat (oreo) died last year January, so it's been a little over a year since. We found her in Pakistan, and I guess we "unofficially" adopted her. My mom and aunts wanted to get her spayed, so she wouldn't be like another cat we had (who also died [she got run over apparently]). I said to leave her alone, and all of my cousin's. And they were like okay. But then went I came back to America, my mom and sister went again in December (we found her in the summer, around July-August). I didn't know what happened. My mom comes back, and she doesn't say anything, she acts normal. But my sister (she was 5-6 at the time), she kept trying to tell me something, but my mom was like "SHHHH, DON'T SAY ANYTHING!" and I was like "wut?". Fast forward like 3 weeks, we're at the beginning of Feb, my birthday coming up. We were chilling at our family freidn's house, and my mom drops the bomb. "Oreo died" "What?" "I'm sorry, I didn't tell you, but we tried to get her spayed, and the vet wasn't qualified, and she lasted 3 days in severe pain before she died. Sorry" My mom said with tears in her eyes. It was at that moment I cried like I had nerve cried before. I cried my eyeballs outright at there house. But then I was like, at least, at least she's not in pain anymore. Until now, I can't shake the feeling that if I had never found her, she probably would've still been alive.

My saddest time was when I lost a beloved uncle suddenly and then both of my dogs died, all within an 18 month period. It just felt like one thing after another which culminated in losing my job - which I had worked and trained hard for - indirectly due to my depression diagnosis.

Probably waking up and coming down stairs to have my mom explained to me my stepmom died two days ago and they didn't want to tell me because they wanted me to have a happy birthday. I was 15 at the time.
Then on my 16 birthday carrying out my dad from the pet adopting center, because he was so sicken with grief he couldn't even get up from the floor, he just cried and screamed.

I thought mine was the five years where i lost 12 persons in my life, the first one was my father, then my grand-mother, then a fistfull of friends. Bad years, i call them the dark ages. Now, i take my s*** together and make my way. But today, few hours ago, i was with my boyfriend and got a call : 'cause i can't pay electricity bill, they gonna cut it tomorrow. "We gonna s***t in the dark and take cold showers ? Naah. I'm getting back to my place" (student flat - 9m2 and a fridge). Ok. Before thinking of a solution together, he chose his own comfort, started to pack things and left me speechless and deeply sad.

Oh honey, you've got to get out of there! That's not ok! You do not deserve that. Being anywhere else is better than being at your grandma's house. You need to tell someone, today. Another adult family member;a teacher; a doctor; a friend's parent; ANY adult you can trust. My heart is hurting so much for your. Please tell me you'll talk to someone. If there's anything at all i can do, please let me know everyone this is one of the kindest person i have meet no one have ever cared about me not even my mom or dad so plz show this person some love
