Thanks so much for reading. I debated heavily on sharing it—the staggered dates for writing. It wasn’t my desire to bring anyone down, but to share her story. She just meant too much to not immortalize, even in this small way. I really appreciate your kind words 💜
I don’t think you bring people down. You share your emotions which include sadness, but also there’s a lot of joy from remembering the time you had together. And also anyone else feeling sadness or going through something similar can read it and know others feel it too. I think sad things are just as necessary to write as happy things. The human experience contains both. And it’s a brave person that can share their vulnerability as well as their successes.
Thanks so much for your kind words. I think I get too in my head about it sometimes, but imagine it’s the same for others who write from that space. I appreciate you.
thanks for those story. my landlord had all my cats euthanized while I was in the hospital recovering from an attack by another tenant. the grief almost overcame me, it's been months and at night I still cry for them.
Oh Gretchen, I can’t even imagine the heartache you’re going through. I’m truly sorry you went through such a horrible experience and so much loss. My thoughts are with you 💜
I hear you. I lost beloved, Arty two years ago and I know exactly what you mean about seeing them everywhere.
We love so deeply, and that makes the grief just as deep. At first, I felt him all around me; I could smell him, hear him, see him in unexpected places. Over time, the ache softened, though I still cry when I remember him. What stays, I realized, is the love and I think that’s the beautiful part. We can hold onto that love and slowly let the grief ease, even if it takes time. It’s the proof of how much they mattered, and still matter, in our hearts.
There’s so much tenderness and strength in this.
Snow’s story - and yours - remind me why we write at all.
I’m really glad you’re still here 🙏🏻
I’m glad she was happy until the end. She had a hard life. But she was happy.
Thanks for your kind words—we did our best to make sure she knew she was deeply loved. 💜
Hey
Just address me as Uma 😁
💜 For sure Uma!
Liora, this was a touching farewell to Snow. Sorry to hear about her passing.
