From people who came through it

  • โ€œSorry 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€

  • โ€œFor whoever is where I was: About three years ago, that was me. I remember the empty basket like it was yesterday. Now I sleep most nights. It changes. It really does.โ€

  • โ€œI know it feels like too much right now, and people might say the wrong things like it was just a cat. They don't know how much space that animal took up in your life. For me, the empty basket was the worst part, and the walks we did without him. What helped was letting myself cry whenever it came, not on a schedule. And finding one person who got it, even online. You are not weird for how much this hurts. It's real, and it will slowly get softer, not smaller. Just keep going, and if you can, keep the routine if it feels okay.โ€

  • โ€œIf 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€
