I'm so sorry to hear about Sofia. It's always hard to lose a cat but I do think the first loss is in some ways the hardest just because of the surprise you talk about. It's as if you didn't really realize how very attached you had become.
Take care.
Quote: Another cat? Perhaps. For love there is also a season; its seeds must be resown. But a family cat is not replaceable like a wornout coat or a set of tires. Each new kitten becomes its own cat, and none is repeated. I am four cats old, measuring out my life in friends that have succeeded but not replaced one another. - Irving Townsend
