This made me so teary.

My boy is genuinely my best friend. He is a constant joy in a life that can feel so heavy. And he is by my side almost every second of every day.

I find it hard to imagine a world in his absence. Even thought it will happen one day.

I’m so sorry that you lost your best friend. I can only imagine the pain and grief. It’s good that you could see the silver lining in time ❤️

thank you so much for reading. means a lot! grief is just love with nowhere to go, and you will find new places for that love eventually.

My German Sheperd, Roxy, died of hemangiosarcoma in 2020 when she was 7 years old. It was extremely traumatic for me too. It was March and our vet refused to see her in person. He told me to give her pepto-bismol because I thought she was bloating. I drove the 90 minutes to the emergency vet so fast, thinking she was bloating and I was saving her life. Instead, I got the news that what I thought was bloat was actually blood from the rupture. I had just moved into a new town and at the same time I knew it was divine timing — freeing me for my next chalter. That knowing blended with heartbreak took me a long time to integrate but I totally get it ❤️‍🩹
