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.

So here's how I'm building fall habits that work with my body instead of against it, based on what's actually helped so far this year. ⚡ Key Takeaways 🍂 Fall cravings are real and partly hormonal, not just a lack of willpower.

December hits differently when you don't have children. You might think it means zero stress. People assume you have all the free time in the world. But that is rarely the case. Instead you often become the backup plan for everyone else. You travel more. You attend every late night party. You cover shifts for coworkers who have kids. The pressure to make everything magical for everyone else can drain you fast. I used to crash hard by December 25th every single year. I would wake up sick, tired, and resentful. I realized I was pouring from an empty cup. Now I follow a strict routine to keep my sanity intact . This isn't about bubble baths or expensive spa days. This is about survival.
