Today is a hard day and I wanted to share that feeling with you.

    I can’t do anything more than offer condolences and say that it gets easier over time. I lost my void of almost 20 years a few years back, and I’m happy to say that I finally overcame the grief and rescued another void this past year. Before then they’d make me cry, so I’ve made a lot of progress.

    Nothing will replace your kitty, but the feelings do get easier to deal with over time. I still miss my old girl fiercely, but sharing that love with another kitty has helped, once I came to terms with it anyway.

      Thanks, I’m glad there’s another Kitty there with you sharing that love now!

      One day maybe, I’ll be ready. Gonna get a crystal tree for now because it’s less sad when they fall apart.

        Thanks, and it wasn’t an easy or quick process to get here, but I’m glad I did. Along with my void I’ve got an Odin who loves to give out love too.

        As for when you’re ready, that day will come eventually and fretting about it doesn’t make it come any quicker. Good on you for finding something to put that energy to, I didn’t and it was a rough first year. Hopefully that will help the process.

          I have an advantage I guess, we’ll see if it really helps. As a therapist, many of my friends are therapists so I have good support options. Remains to be seen if I remember to use it!

            Oh man, you’re probably in a decent spot comparatively. It took me a couple years to get a therapist (past trauma with them), but that’s what finally helped me work through it.

            Best of luck on your path. Though it is never easy, may the path be walkable.
