My Cat Had Gastrointestinal Lymphoma: Saying Goodbye to Adah

By
On June 6, 2026, I lost my cat Adah. I'm still in shock, still crying on and off, and honestly still reaching for her out of habit. She was 8 years old and had been by my side for 7 of them. Writing this is hard, but I know it's something I need to do, because if you're searching for information about feline gastrointestinal lymphoma or trying to figure out what comes next after losing your cat, I want you to know you're not alone. I've been right where you are. Adah wasn't just a cat to me; she was like a daughter. She was the one who helped me survive losing my Maltese dog back in February 2019. I got her at the end of March that same year. She was actually my first cat ever. And somehow, without me even realizing it, she became the center of my world. I had no idea that choosing her would be one of the best decisions of my life or that letting her go would be one of the hardest. ⚡ Key Takeaways 🐱 Feline GI lymphoma is the most common c...

He Flatlined. He Met Jesus. He Came Back. Read This Book.

By

I've always been fascinated by near-death experience stories. There's something about hearing that someone died, saw something on the other side, and came back to talk about it that I just can't look away from. Are they really seeing Heaven? What does it look like? What does it feel like to be in the presence of God? When I was offered a free copy of 18 Days in Heaven by Gabe Poirot for review, I said yes immediately. Stories like this always pull me in. Little did I know that by the time I sat down to read it, I'd be walking through some grief of my own. I lost my sweet girl Adah to feline GI lymphoma a few weeks after I said yes to the review, and reading a book about someone who visited Heaven and came back hit differently than I expected. Disclosure: I received this item free in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are 100% my own. ⚡ Key Takeaways ✝️ Gabe Poirot was 20 years old when an electric skateboard accident left him flatlined ...

A Life Update for July 2026: Where I've Been

It's been almost a month since I posted anything here, and honestly, that's not like me. So I wanted to come back and just talk. Not a polished post about a topic, just an actual update on where things stand, because a lot has happened since I went quiet. Losing Adah If you've been following along, you already know I lost Adah on June 6th to GI lymphoma, something that got missed early on before we knew what we were actually dealing with. I wrote the full story here if you want the whole thing, so I won't retell it all again. But I'll say this. It still hurts just as much as it did that first week. Some days, it feels like a bad dream I haven't woken up from yet, like she's just going to come around the corner. I got a small memorial for her that I've got set up now, a little wooden heart that says "No longer by my side, but forever in my heart," hanging above a little glass jar with her collar tucked inside, right next to her picture. ...
