Racer,
I'm so sorry that everything you are experiencing is so acute right now.It certainly seems to me as though you have a lot to grieve and that's okay.
I so wish you felt more supported during this time, but often there really is little anyone can do.
It would, however, be easier to process if you could find someone to reliably talk it out with you, but most often during times when we need them the most, people let us down. I don't think they do this out of meaness, but rather a desire to protect themselves or just neglect.
I'm sorry.
I agree with everything that clearskies said, but would add that it is okay to be sad sometimes, it's okay to just grieve and it's normal to feel isolated by it.
Try not to let that grief turn inward onto you. So much of life is so out of our control, so much of our own body (whether we care to admit it or not) is out of our control and sometimes you just have to try to let go.
There will be something beautiful that comes out of this time and a door will open to something that you never thought possible. Be one the look out for it and nurture it when it comes.
At least that's my take on sadness.
Take good good care of yourself and your new kitty.
