I'm bawling my eyes out as I read your post. I am soooo sorry to hear about your loss. They are never "just cats", and this is just like losing a close member of your family. I lost two a couple of years ago (one to cancer, one to old age), and I know exactly how you are feeling. Just remember...merry meet, merry part, and merry meet again. Brightest Blessings!

You have definitely come to the right community of people who can, unfortunately, emphathize completely
I know that right now the wounds are so very raw, but I hope that you will find comfort and encouragement just in knowing that we truly care. About 5 years ago, I lost my Miss Tobie, who was my "sphinx cat" who was "mine", she slept with me & guarded me; I had finally decided, that the loss, combined with losing custody of my grandson, was my "breaking point" and I couldn't risk loving and losing again. But I couldn't say "no" to my daughter who has brain-damage when she spent over 3 year's savings (she was saving up for a home stereo system for her room) to buy 2 kittens, JC and Joey. And as it turned out, Joey is my new "sphinx cat" - my devoted shadow who not only bonds so completely with me, he bonded with my grandson who vacations with me - and if my grandson is having a hard time, with abuse or is ill with a fever, etc., even though they are over 400 miles apart, Joey will sense it and go about the house mrreowling loudly (he's a Manx with a typical very quiet way),
Sending your mega prayers and vibes for comfort & healing
I am so sorry for your loss. I know what you mean about people not understanding the loss of a pet, but all of us here know exactly how you feel.
You said that you buried him in your garden? When we had to put our first cat, Cookie, to sleep, I planted a garden over him - he was mostly white, so I grew only white flowers in that garden. It's still called Cookie's garden. It helped me through that difficult time. I still talk to her everytime I am out there weeding or watering. Perhaps you could do something similar in your garden?
