does anyone else struggle with pre-gaming grief in their life? like I am lucky to have people that mean a lot to me that are currently present in my life and are showing no signs of leaving, yet I've already cried and worried over their deaths, personal problems, or seperations from me. when I am at a good point I can't help but wonder how long it will last instead of enjoying it in the moment, and I constantly remind myself that I never feel this happy so it must be fake. I hate doing it, but at the same time it feels comforting, like maybe I'll be more ready when it comes? but then when I experience real loss I often just feel a void.

Yeah same, it made it so I basically wasn't sad at all when one of my cat's died.
I think when you really really really love someone it's good to do that in moderation because if you love someone an insane amount. You can get this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takotsubo_cardiomyopathy
So lessening that cognitive impact is probably a good idea by pre-gaming grief. If you are doing it ALL the time though and or it is getting in the way of enjoying the present moments that make you love in the first place then that isn't healthy and you gotta try to stop.
i'm sorry about your cat, i totally get that. i've never heard of takotsubo cardiomyopathy before ty for sharing
