Whenever somebody tells me about the death of a family member, I always end up mentioning my cat that died six years ago. And I feel fucking stupid as I'm saying it but I can't seem to control myself. I've never lost a (human) family member that I was really close with so I just feel like I have no idea what to say, although I'd like to somehow make the person feel better in some way. So out comes the cat comment.
So I can totally see myself and especially my boyfriend doing that in a couple of years. (Our cat died this year) Sweetly he and a friend connected over death because a friends mum died a coupe of years ago. I was like oh my god you can't compare that, but our friend really opened up about his mum after we told him how heartbroken we're after our cat's death.
