K.D. Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 It’s been a week since my best friend had to leave. I don’t have the courage to pick up his bowl or bed or toys. The initial shock is gone. I’ve settled into a routine of denial and depression. During the day I don’t think about him most of the time. Not by choice, it’s because my mind is blocking him out. In the evenings my brain is exhausted and I feel this deep sense of emptiness and I just want to stare into space. Everything seems colorless. I would give anything for just one more day with him...to take a walk, to pet him. I’m dreading the call saying his ashes are ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.D. Posted February 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 I did...I’m just not very disciplined about it. I need to try harder. The finality is setting in. I think I was in denial before. Of all human emotions and processes, grief seems like just the worst thing ever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
