Thank you Nickie, for another touching post. Isn't it a conundrum..... surely there is something, someone, some being or entity which is out there, holding us, guiding us. or is there?

Such a minor event, but I buried my beloved dog last week. The grief is real and I am living though it, allowing the tears to flow when they come, but I know that the profundity of it will be short lived. He did have a wonderful life and it needed to come to an end so it was a true full cycle.

Sending love to you

The grief for our pets is real enough, isn't it? They are repositories for our love and companions through thick and thin. Love to you at this tender time xx

Nickie, this is such honest and powerful writing. So many of my own wonderings and half-formed thoughts are expressed here with such eloquent clarity. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability so generously. You capture what it is to be human and make us feel less alone. xx

Thank you Helen. It felt a bit of an edge to post it and I wasn't sure if it was too much. I'm very glad it has met you xxx
