I know gals who could have fielded that remark without taking it personally and engaged this fellow in a conversation he would have enjoyed. (Yes, I am that nerdy). She’s out there. I’d like to see him find her.
As you can probably tell from the comments, we’ve all been there. Funny things about pets — they teach us tolerance and humor, but eventually they also teach us how to grieve. Recently, when I lost some of the people in my life, my experience in grieving so hard for the pets I’ve lost in the last several years helped me to remember that I needed to spend as much time as possible with my friends and family, and to keep talking about my feelings. You’re doing the right thing. And we’re grieving right along with you, so you’re not alone. Love to you and your family.
