Ya know, I think I am mostly doing ok, then there are those occasional moments, seeing a certain picture, or the dreaded Sunday afternoons that bring the pain back as if it just happened.
Life doesn't prepare any of us for grieving.... we just have to wing it and learn along the way. Time does help, and I guess there is no way to hurry that up.
Last week I saw a rehoming ad on CraigsList for a 4 yr old female 3/4 Yorkie that looked amazingly like Meika. I almost called, but it was late. By morning I came to my senses and realized that just because she looked like Meika.... there is no way of bringing Meika back. I'd always be comparing and set myself up for disappointment. Glad I passed. I have 3 wonderful pups to shower all the extra love on, and that is just fine. It's all going to be ok. |
