Jennifer, when you are crying for Kate, you are crying for your mother also.
Loss is loss...grief is grief.
I didn't cry much when my mother died..I was a young mother and felt I had to hold it all together..I shed "acceptable" tears..a little here and a little there for a few days.
Years later I lost a female Yorkie after a c-section (my only breeding loss) I cried so much I thought I would need to be hospitalized. My doctor said they were tears for all my losses for a number of years..so I cried and finally acknowledged these losses..never apologize for your heart felt grief..the loss of any love is very painful..human or canine. |
