I understand, completely.  We are approaching 9 months and somehow, it is harder now than it was immediately after.  

I am realizing I did not post here earlier and I am so sorry I did not.  Deeply sorry that you lost your beautiful Venus.

On October 27, 2016, nearly 6 months after amputation, and 18 months since his cancer likely started, we lost Pofi to a recurrence of Soft Tissue Sarcoma in his spine quite suddenly.  His canine sister also succumbed to cancer on March 1, 2019 - we lavished her with our love in the interim, but life was never quite the same without her only real canine friend. Cliff kitty had to leave us, too, suddenly, in August 2019. Lucia kitty grieved all these losses, but helped us welcome two new Lurchers into our home and our lives, Shae and Barley.

Wow I can't believe it's already been six months. It seems like yesterday and forever at the same time doesn't it? I totally understand how you miss your girl. It's hard to mark the passage of time without them in our lives, physically speaking.

One thing that I would do when anniversaries hit me hard soon after Jerry's passing, is I would look at videos and photos and try my hardest to remember that our life together was so much more than the physical aspect of Jerry. We created a bond that even now as I type this, I get watery-eyed but I still feel so much gratitude that he was part of my world, if only for a short time. The spiritual bond we have with our animals outlives the physical. We take it wherever we go and nothing can make that disappear. Treasure your bond with Venus, remember that her love and energy is still wrapping itself around your soul. And be good to yourself, these feelings are totally normal when you've lost such a big part of your everyday life.

Well said  -  I feel this way all the time.  It was a moment ago and yet impossibly long ago. It doesn't seem conceivable to have been without them for that length of time.

Exactly, it feel sort of worse now. Maybe because we're less in shock and feel their absence more. That it's been 6 months indeed seems unreal. It's strange knowing that there are still so many more years ahead without her.

And I am so sorry about your darling Pofi - I've just been reading about his story heartheart

crying your words are so heart-warming and perfectly describe how I feel. I guess I'm sadder because I can't feel her presence anymore, but hopefully that's because she's too busy having fun and being happy at Rainbow Bridge.

Thank you both for your kind thoughts xox
