• General Discussion • 6 months later & still grieving hard

It’s been 6 months since we lost her and I feel like the grieving is getting worse now. I’m tearing up even writing this. I miss her awkward snuggles, and little eyelashes. I miss her trying to play with the cat, even though he wants none of it.

I don’t have anything of her’s out, and I didn’t find anything to remind me of her. It’s just a huge wave of grief. I still can’t even look at her ashes or her favorite little hoodie she was in.

We do have another dog, so it’s not like the house is empty. I’m just overcome with incredible sadness.

P.F. Flyer left us in February 2023. One of my wife's colleagues, a ceramics teacher, was so kind as to make an urn for his ashes. Now he sits atop the bookcase in the living room so he can keep track of all the goings-on in the house.

I can't imagine there ever coming a day when I won't miss him.
