    Of course you are not okay, Teresa. It is such a recent loss and your house is empty without Muffin. That is brutally painful. Do you have family or friends with whom you can visit? Maybe stay with for a little bit? If not, can you get out of the house for a few hours each day, perhaps sit in a park? Anything to fill in the hole that has been left. I found sleeping with a stuffed toy helpful. Watch silly things on TV. Keep moving if you can. I mopped the floors over and over just to keep busy. Teresa, in our heads we know our pets are only “on loan” to us, never for long enough. It’s our hearts that ache when their lives have run their course. When you are able, can you think of Muffin’s life like a ruler with each of her 11 years as an inch. Up until the very last part of that ruler, Muffin shared a great life of love and joy with you. Perhaps thinking of that will help. Also, you could write notes to Muffin, then write what her response to you would be. I bet she’d be grateful for the life you shared and want you to be happy for having her in your life. Please keep in touch with us, and come to our group Sep. 21st. I am so very sorry, Teresa, and we are here to help you through this. 💔💔Toni
