Contest : Your Losses in Life.
Hi Steemian, I hope everyone is well. I will participate in a competition today, Inshallah. Which was organized by my favorite moderator @bossj23 sir. Today I am happy to participate. So let's get the conversation going right away.
What have you lost in life that made you cry or feel distressed? Could be inanimate or animate. Narrate your experience
I was working a job then. One afternoon, I returned from the office and found that my beloved cat "Pui" was not at home. He had been with us since childhood. Just like a family member. When I was happy, he would come and sit next to me. And when I was sad, he would sit silently next to me - like a calm friendship.
I searched until that evening but could not find him. I walked around the house again and again at night. The next morning, the aunty next door told me that a cat like him had been crushed under a car on the road. I ran and realized that it was Pui.
It was an irreparable pain. Tears came to my eyes, but more than that, there was an emptiness – as if so much had been lost in an instant. Even though it wasn't a "person", I felt the pull of life, how much pain the lack of love can cause. From that, I understood – losing doesn't just mean something big, even a small life can deeply move someone.
Did you blame yourself for the loss or were you meant to lose that thing? How did the losses affect you
When Pui was lost, the first feeling I felt was "guilt". I thought, maybe if I had returned from office a little earlier, if I hadn't let her go out, maybe that wouldn't have happened. I started blaming myself – I couldn't even eat properly for a few days.
I never wanted Pui to be lost. She was my closest companion. Even if I couldn't say anything to my family, I would open up to her about everything. So her passing is not just like losing a life, but also a relationship, a place of trust.
This loss has left a lasting impression on me. I felt better being alone for a few days. I couldn't be as open with people as I used to be. But over time, I realized – love means fear of loss, but it makes us more sensitive and responsible.That memory of Pui still brings tears to my eyes, but now it has become more of a memory of love than pain.
Were you able to let bygones be bygone or are you still in pain for the loss?
Some losses in life are so difficult to completely forget or overcome. The feelings related to the past and loss often remain within us, after Pui's loss, at first I felt like I would never be able to overcome that loss. The days were passing by in an invisible void. However, the pain was not only for the lost life, but I also felt some guilt without knowing it. I thought, if I could have done something, maybe he would have come back.
Time keeps moving, and everything changes. After some time, I realized that the pain of that loss has subsided, but it never completely went away. The memories of Pui never go away. Sometimes it seems that those beautiful moments spent with her have made me stronger. But to be honest, some losses can never be completely forgotten. Some pains lessen with time, but the depth of the feelings never fade.
What advice would you give the public who may have lost something or someone precious to them?
Don't ignore your pain. Many times people convince themselves, "It's a small thing", "Something worse could have happened" - these thoughts suppress the pain, but do not heal it. If what you lost is precious to you, then you have the right to suffer. Stand in a place of patience even in the midst of pain.While time does not totally erase any loss, it does strengthen the ability to bear it. The suffering you are experiencing now will gradually become a memory; it may make you cry now, but it will eventually remind you of how much you treasured it . If possible, create a way to remember that precious thing or someone — write a letter, plant a tree, or create a small routine where you remember to do something for them. In this way, we can make memories a part of honor, not a pain.

Hola apreciado amigo. Gracias por la invitación. Es increíble como podemos llegar a querer una mascota. Pero ciertamente es así
Aunque no creo que seas culpable de esa tragedia ya que los gatos tienen a ser libres y poco controlables, así que de cualquier forma podía escapar en algún instante. Bendiciones para ti
