Warning: Do not proceed to these excruciatingly sappy posts if struggling with the effects of PMS, because things are about to get «crying into your ice cream» bad. These tearjerker images deal with a range of things, from stories about losing someone special (often a pet), to struggling to deal with a dose of unrelenting sadness, and all the problems that come with it. For some reason, the concept of losing an animal can always bring on our high-pressure waterworks, and thinking about all the other terrible truths and unfortunate stories in life just makes things that much worse. While memes can be great for taking the pain away when we need to get our mind off things, they can also be engineered to press all our unhappy buttons and make us take a long, hard look at life. So make sure you’re sitting down and somewhere safe when you scroll through these bittersweet and depressing memes.
