Today, I shared the story of my younger brother's unexpected death with a friend. After telling him the story, I looked at him with teary eyes and he looked back into my eyes and said "I understand how you feel. That is almost as bad as when I lost my cat last spring term." FML

hey peoples I have a little story. Well my faturnal twin died 2 years ago and we were so close and it was terrible I still feel it. Well last year I decidedi would try to move on and I went to the shelter to get a dog. And I spoiled it rotten and I felt better because dogs are the real unconditional love they don't give a damn if your ugly or fat or weird because to them it doesent matter about outside. Anyway well a couple months ago bryson died (the dog) died of heart problems and it hurt. I would say the same amount of my twin maybe cause I had lost both of them it was hard the second time but honestly a life is a life but we choose how we view it whether your higher then all other beings or we are equals opinion is opinion

Well honestly your situation is different. If your dog died only two years after losing your twin and the reason you got the dog was because of that hole left by you twin then yeh feeling the same amount of pain is perfectly justified. Since you've had to deal with both lossess your probably one of the few people who can actually compare the two. But unless the guy in the Original Post or any of these other ignorant assholes have felt both the loss of their pet AND a loved one they have no buissness saying they are the same thing. And I may be biased but losing a dog is different from a cat >_>

The fact that there are people equating losing a cat and losing a younger sibling makes my brain hurt already but then the fact that some people are actually calling the OP insensitve... thats gonna give me an aneurysm.

I'm coming to the defense of your friend. While I'm sorry for your loss, as a cat person, I must say that you can't possibly imagine how one can become so attached to pets. If either of my cats died, none of my friends nor immediate family would hear the end of it. What you need to understand is that your friend wasn't trying to be hurtful. Heck, I still miss my dog.

I get that you would miss your cats. I'm sure that their loss might hurt very much. But would that seriously hurt as much or more than the loss of your immediate family or friends? If your mom died would that hurt less than if your cat did? If you had to choose for one of them to live would you choose your cat? Because if you would, you are truly a ******* idiot.

It can be ... I love my cats more than my sister. Maybe his pain was real!

In my opinion, you can't really compare the death of a sibling to a death of a pet. Losing either one has a different type of pain to it.
