TW for pet loss
My sweet dog of 14 years, Edie, passed away suddenly last Thursday. Her death was preceded by a hellish week of her health declining rapidly without much warning.
I never post personal things like this here, but my heart is on the ground with grief. I loved her and cared for her since she was a wee puppy. The pet loss form of grief is wild and agonizing in ways I never anticipated. I’ve experienced parental loss but that grief is different.
I felt like posting about this because I don’t know how I’ll ever get through this initial part of the loss. Of course I will adapt to it all eventually but I feel like I’m moving through tar right now and everything hurts.
