There's really nothing that prepares us for the loss of one of our furry family members... and we are just left with this strange emptiness inside. Grief doesn't come with a schedule, but — in time — we get to understand that our beloved fur creatures will ALWAYS be with us, in our hearts and souls. Maybe that sounds like cold comfort... and I do not mean for it to... but all my cats and dogs are still here, in some strange way, as Boya is — and will be — for you.
Thank you so much. Yes, she will be here because there are so many memories and they don't go away.
I so appreciate your kind words.
