Is it weird/bad to make a Instagram post about a dead pet?
My beloved cat died suddenly out of nowhere when he was only 3. It absolutely devastated me. I got some sympathy texts from friends who found out through the grape vine. However, I wanted to make a post about him because I have never posted about him and I kind of want to use my Instagram as a way to document life events and not forget them. And I don’t want to forget my kitty. I captioned it with “I am so so sorry, (pets name). You mean more to me than you will ever know. 961
I hate to go on without you. My heart breaks for you every day. I hope you’re someplace safe sleeping in bizarre positions, making silly faces, and wrestling stuffed animals. Rest peacefully, my sweet boy.” I posted this 6 days after he died to help with the grieving process and make it feel real (which it did).
But now I’m feeling weird and yucky. I’m worried it corny and weirds people out. I’m seeing posts about how much people hate it and that it’s “attention seeking” and very personal and shouldn’t be done. Is it bad? Should I take it down? It’s a little late to take it down, people have seen it, but I will if it’s weird. 210
