โPlease be gentle with yourself and I wasn't, and it made everything harder and I talk to them out loud sometimes and it helps more than it should. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ
โIf you're scared right now, I get it. Not that long ago, about a year, that was me. Put our dog to sleep after 14 years. That was my life. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.โ
โI don't have advice. I just know the first week is strange and quiet and people say the wrong thing. For me it helped to leave her lead where it was for a while. Then one day I took it down and put it in a drawer. That was all I could do that day. If you're still stepping around the basket, that's alright. You don't have to move it yet. I still miss her. That hasn't changed but it's softer now.โ
โSorry if this is a lot. Please be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. I let myself be sad for an hour a day and then do something. It sort of works. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ
