    Hi everyone. I’m trying to be strong, supportive and positive. Today though, for some reason no matter how hard I try I just see patch in her favorite spots and I keep looking there for her and talking to her 😭 Am I cracking up!

    • Yes, you are, Valerie, and I completely understand. She is there in many ways and you are feeling her energy left behind. You really are not “cracking up” Honey. You are grieving, feeling her energy, and loving her even though she is not physically there. But, she IS there with you in your heart, soul and memory. The death of a beloved pet is such a deep, strong feeling. Your thoughts and feelings are not crazy – they are indicative of the depth of your love, and the endless bond you have. I do understand, and hope you find a place of gratitude for the great gift of sharing such an enduring love. You are not cracking up in the traditional sense, but you are deeply grieving, and that feels as crazy as the BIG LOVE you have. Valerie, go straight through your feelings – cry, rant…whatever you need, because that is the path to healing, and coming to a place of loving peace, and appreciation for the loving times you shared. I am so very. very sorry for your loss, and so very happy for the love you enjoyed. Please tell us how you are doing, Dear.
        • Valerie, I speak to my Riley all the time, I find it comforting, as I’m sure you do when you speak to “Patch” In a way you are keeping her alive in your heart. So no, I don’t think you are “cracking up” I think that speaking to our lost pets is a way for us to cope with their being gone. So keep talking to her, it will help sooth your pain.
          • Morning. Ty for your support and understanding. It helps tremendously 🤗
