Having pets and losing them teaches us to 'let go.' They do that for us, becasue there is so much letting go to be done, and we need help.

Sorry for you loss, Hannah, (& for the floods and fires and countries gone rogue). I hope it comforts you to be gifted with the ability to observe and say just enough, so well.

Thanks so much, Ann. That’s quite a compliment from such a talented writer as you, and I hadn’t thought of it in just that way before. It’s nice to think of Malka helping me in one last very important way.

So sorry for you. It's never easy ... but if it was, what would that say about us? Hang in there.

That’s how I think about the pain death as well -- an echo of our love for the spirit who has left. It’s terrible, but you can’t have big love without big loss. ❤️ (Unless, of course, you die first, which also probably has its downsides. 😁)

Condolences on the loss of your friend Malka.

When we say goodbye to a beloved animal friend, our consolation is there are only pleasant memories.
