I have had many cats grow old and die, in my 75 years. It is always horrible, no matter how you handle it. Of course Raven is crying for Charlotte. And of course you are crying for Charlotte. It is also horrible when people you love die. And the pain never goes away; you feel sorrow all your life for all those you have lost. But also you have the wonderful memories of the love you all shared, and the sorrow is the price you pay for those wonderful memories. And the love you shared stays true forever! Charlotte really lived, and she really loved you and Raven, and you and Raven really loved her! And that is a triumph over the darkness! So give extra cuddles to Raven, and share your memories of Charlotte!
