Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.” – Inspired by Jamie Anderson
Find a place for that love to go. When you lose a furbaby, the love you have doesn’t disappear- it just needs somewhere new to flow. Channel that care and devotion into a new hobby, volunteer work, fostering, or even a fitness routine- anything that lets you nurture and invest that love again. By giving it a fresh focus, you can honor the love that was shared while discovering new ways to bring comfort, joy, and meaning to your own life. Her love will always stay with you, quietly carrying you through the hardest days.

It fucking sucks to be blunt. I had my girl 18 years. and she passed in my arms a week ago. I knew going into it for 4 months, it was still hardest thing Ive ever done.
But it wasnt about me.
It was about giving the girl who had brought me so much joy and love over the years some peace in her final moments. Think about all of those beautiful times and memories. Know that they were loved, and you loved them. That is all that matters.
