<\/p>\nYesterday marked a week after Satori died. In my culture You mark the death of a close relative with it. Called “Shiva”\u2026 It means seven in Hebrew. It’s a time where you reflect on loss, good memories\u2026 And embrace the support of others. I hadn’t thought of it till just now but that period ended yesterday. We have been\ufffc So grateful for all the thoughts people have sent after satori’s death .. I mailed, email, text, Facebook, Instagram\u2026 We appreciate all that love.\ufffc.. I hadn’t realized it but there’s a whole range of wonderful cards that you send to people on the death of a pet\u2026 Who knew?\u2026\ufffc<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Supposedly you are to begin going back to your normal life after sitting Shiva\u2026 But no one I know has ever done that.\u2026 It takes time to heal.<\/p>\n
It’s also interesting to contemplate where does the death of a pet play on the spectrum of grief?\u2026 Many folks kind of struggle with that\u2026 I remember when sam died it was pretty frequent to hear someone talk about the Death of a pet I suppose in a way to relate\ufffc\u2026 I always found it odd back the .. Even as I appreciated their attempt to relate.\ufffcNow for some reason it seems less crazy. Pets are clearly family.. The sadness we feel that their passing comes from the same place as a loss of family and friends\u2026 I know it’s different\u2026 And it’s supposed to be different\u2026<\/p>\n
But right now it feels the same\ufffc<\/p>\n
I miss you girl<\/p>\n
