I lost my dear Domino a little over three years ago and today I showed someone a picture of a group of my cats with the intention of showing her one of my still living cats and she asked who Domino was. The grief hit me like lightening and I almost broke down and cried right there - I had to work hard to pull myself together for it would have been pretty inappropriate at the time. I thought I was past this, I thought I had reached my peace with this loss but sometimes I wonder if I ever will. I lost her "brother" Buddy the next year and that loss doesn't heal either. I still have living cats that I love but I can't seem to accept these losses - the human losses I've suffered sit more easily than these. I adopted my two I have now before Domino and Buddy died and I dread the day that I lose them too. How do you go on loving and adopting more pets after knowing how hard this is?
