Kate Gosselin<\/strong><\/a> experienced an unexpected and tragic death in the family just days before Christmas.<\/p>\n \u201cWe suffered an unimaginable loss on Friday night,\u201d Gosselin, 50, wrote over a photo of her eldest German Shepard, Nanuq, via Instagram<\/a> on Thursday, December 25, revealing that her four-legged friend died on December 19.<\/p>\n \u201cMy soul girl, the rest of me, passed away quickly in the car on our way home for Christmas,\u201d she added. \u201cI am taking a break from TikTok because l am hurting so deeply. But I know you guys loved her too, so I needed to let you know.\u201d<\/p>\n Sharing another photo, Gosselin continued, \u201cI will spend the rest of my life missing you NuNu. Life will never be the same. I loved you more than life itself. I\u2019m so sorry I couldn\u2019t save you.\u201d<\/p>\n In the caption, the Jon & Kate Plus 8<\/em> alum added, \u201cI have no words. One minute, she was here and healthy. The next, she was gone. Her last gift to me was when she got into the truck to leave, she poked her head forward to where I was sitting in the passenger seat and licked my left cheek, twice.\u201d<\/p>\n Gosselin noted that she is \u201ctrying to replace the traumatic memories and things I can never unsee with that memory.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMy sweet girl kissing me, saying \u2018thank you for taking me on a long bye bye,\u2019 which was her favorite thing in the world,\u201d Gosselin concluded. \u201cThen, a little over 3 hours later, she was gone. I will never understand it. When I can, I\u2019ll talk about details. For now, I cannot.\u201d<\/p>\n
