Oh friend, this grief journey is winding and complex. Such an honor and a privilege to guide the beloved and vulnerable through the most intense stage of life, but man is it ever a bitch to overcome. Those final day memories are nothing short of brutal; you just have to be at your strongest when they’re at their weakest.
With my kitty, I was just so relieved we were able to do the euthanasia at home. It was my final wish for him. He got to pass in his home. I know that’s not always possible for all pets, but I hope it can be done, if and when time and resources allow. I still think about him and miss him every day, two years on. I dream about him when I’m having some of my worst days. As the Jews say, his memory IS a blessing. 💜
Beautiful work here. You’ve got me smiling and crying; the mark of masterful journalism. Bowie and Dax are so lucky to have you. I hope it’s still really far off, but when it comes, you’re the right person to be there when they need you the most.
Thank you for the heartfelt comment. It is such a blessing to have an animal love you and to love it in return. I'm so happy you and Mikey had each other.

“Well, except that one time Bowie ate 24 ibuprofen tablets.” 😭
