hey.
first of all, take all the time you need to grieve. your mental health and healing takes top priority.
secondly, losing a companion sucks so fucking much. I lost my dog of 16 years last december, and it still hurts. grieving is not going to be easy. take care of yourself and allow loved ones to give you the comfort you need. you were Rocky’s saviour in tough times. even though his life before he came to you wasn’t easy, you did absolutely everything you could to give him a comfortable, secure, and safe home.
focus on healing. reach out for support if you need/want it. you should be your top priority. I send my deepest condolences to you and wish the best for you moving forward.
Thank you very much, man. I'm doing better today, thank god, but I'm still feeling that grief-borne exhaustion two days after sleeping, like, 10 hours in a row. Mostly just been dozing the days away. I gotta shout out my living cats for sticking close to me and being very insistent that I receive comfort from them. Even Moses is being sweet, it's amazing.
I also want to say that I deeply appreciate you and everyone else extending sympathy and condolences. That's helped a great deal in soothing my troubled soul. I feel the guilt still, but it's very much lessened. Thanks to you and everyone.
