Anyone that’s lost a pet can relate I’m sure, but though they weren’t dogs I’ve lost some buns in recent years and I had similar thoughts/reactions when they passed. I kept thinking “please know I love you, please know I’m sorry, if you stay I’ll do better, I wish I could have done better, you were so precious to me and I hope you know that, I don’t know what I’m supposed to do if you go.”
So I really cried reading this part in the novel and again seeing it here. It’s so difficult having something you put so much love into and accepted so much love from go when you aren’t ready. I don’t really even think it gets better, you just get better at living with the loss.
