J is back to work and out of town a lot now that the holidays are over. I think having the job to focus on has really helped him get through things though we both shed our share of tears the first two weeks. Poor little D-chan is the one who is having the most trouble moving on. She really looked up to her big sister and her absence is a huge adjustment for Dippy to make. We've been giving her love and space as needed and I think she's finally doing a little better. *hugs back* Thank you for everything. You've been so kind to us through this whole thing.
As hard as it is for me and the Hubs, I think the hardest thing is watching Dippy-chan grieve for the loss of her sister. That's what really gets to me, but she's getting a little better too day by day. You never really get over them, but it gets a little easier with time.
Losing a friend is always so hard. I was thinking of you just the other day hoping you were doing well, working through your grief to find some happiness on the other side. *hugs*
*hugs back* Thank you so much. We're taking it one day at a time and trying to help Dippy-chan since she's taking it the hardest. With her already ill, I worry about the grief adversely affecting her recovery and so while we've given her some space, we also smother her with affection and distractions (read: toy time)
Toy time, I would imagine, is a good distraction for you as well. That's also great to hear Dippy-chan feels good enough to play.
The hardest thing with our fuzzy kids is that we can't talk it out with them, explain to them what's going on and what happened. Like Dippy-chan I have a feeling we'll be going through this all too soon with Teni when it's Mikey's turn. He's getting older and, with his health problems, not likely to see too many more years. Still, we're doing what we can to enjoy the precious days we have and make happy memories for the times we need them.
Dippy-chan is very lucky to have such caring parents like you and J.
It's strange, but I don't feel like I thought I would. I spent as much time with Bastet as I could and tried to make her last year the best possible so that when she passed, she would be okay and I would have no regrets. Seeing Dippy be so sad really is the hardest part. We wish we could do more for them and make them live as long asd we do, but we will have to part and even knowing that when we invite them into our lives, I wouldn't change a thing. The love they give more than outweighs the grief when they go. Still, I hope you and Mikey and Teni have many more happy, healthy years together.
*hugs back* Thanks for the well wishes. We're taking things one day at a time and trying to move on the best we can. I figured getting back to LJ was at least a start.

Was thinking about you lately and hoping that the three of you were doing well.
