It's been four months now since I lost Flame. A fellow sufferer on the pet loss support group list I joined posted a really brilliant piece a few days ago that is a mirror of how I feel. In many ways, my life is a lot easier now... and yet I would trade that without a moment's hesitation in order to have just a little more time. I'm crying a little as I write this, which always happens when I try to write about this loss; and yet I can recognize that it's not as acute. She's receding from me, and in a way it's like losing her all over again. On the BPAL forum there is a user with a Stephen King quote in their signature which rings painfully true. "His heart had been broken. And now, all these years later, it seemed to him that the most horrible fact of human existence was that broken hearts mended."
