Thank you, it’s so kind of you to ask. My week has been really busy due to starting a new job, but I think the distraction was good since I didn’t have time to linger in grief.I've been thinking about you. How was the rest of your week?
I think it’s been very hard on me to have baby Clove on cage rest. I’m trying to bond with my new baby to give me comfort and healing from Chai’s passing, but it’s so hard when she has to be in a cage crying all the time. It’s been 5 weeks now (only 1 week left, fingers crossed). It’s sad and stressful for both of us and I’m so exhausted from cat injuries/illnesses. Since late September when I first adopted Chai, nonstop until now, there has always been SOME kind of cat medical issue. 4 and a half months straight is a LONG time to be constantly worrying about my babies. Chai’s various serious issues, of course, Chilli injuring her nose, Chilli eating (and luckily vomiting up) plastic, Chilli mourning Chai’s death for a few weeks and not acting herself, Clove’s chronic diarrhea, Chilli getting gastritis from stress, and finally Clove breaking her paw which is still healing. Can’t I catch a break??
Beautiful metaphor and rings very true... Thank you for sharing.I have always likened sorrow to the ocean.
I think I’ll share photos of Chai on here periodically. I explained to my friend today that it helps me to share her photos, because it helps me recognize the meaning and worth she had in her life (when her death felt so meaningless).
Her warm spot under the coffee table.
My favorite view when I got home. <3
