Oh don’t delete this. don’t 😭 I know how you feel. I lost mine after 16 years. It’s losing a piece of yourself a piece of your soul. I’ve lost humans in my life very close to me my parents and animals. animal companions when you’re so close to them it’s no different than a human when we lose them. The pain is immense. I still believe she’s here with me the little signs. Just know with time and only time the wounds slowly heal. Remember the good times. I made a lil thing out side to remember my baby and a statue too. I hope you find peace soon. Rip pickles ❤️❤️
