I'm thankful finally,

My darkness, is leaving. You guys have heard me at my worst. But you listened. Thank you. All the nights I lied in bed and LilBit was asleep and the demons raced in my brain through my grief, now I lie down and songs I need to sing, play in my head.
There is a light, along this bereaved road. None of us knows how long the road is. But,

You only grieve cuz you had a heart big enough to love.

I lost three of my most beloved cats last year... and the one I lost in March still hurts so bad I can't stand it some days. Still take in rescues, after many, many months passed by. I know for lots of people it's not the same as grieving for a human, and I understand that. Some days, I wish, though, they could understand the loss I feel.

Hang in there, Koz... I'm glad shades of light are coming back into your life. May it be ever increasing. You've had a hard row to hoe, and we're glad to be here to help where we can.

Blessings on you and LilBit.

You're one of the good ones. I'm glad you're starting to fell better sometimes.

It is a process, that is for sure. One day at a time.

Grief is a more complicated process than we realize. Never think your grief has to follow someone else's timeline.
