Day 76

  1. All the time I had with Holly. She died Dec 6.
  2. Dr Roche and all the people at Blue Pearl who took such good care of her.
  3. Crying – hard – felt good. I’m grateful I don’t feel social pressure not to cry. I kept in while we were in public but as soon as we got home I closed the bedroom door and asked Nancy for some time alone and let it go.
  4. She passed at the vets but before they started the procedure to put her down. They brought her to us and she died in her own time while we pet her and I whispered to her how much I loved her and that I’d see her soon. We didn’t have to put her to sleep, nor did she die at home and leave us wondering if there was something more we should have done.
  5. I have the red blanket that she used to nap on and that she died in. I’ve spent a lot of time curled up with it.

Many thanks,

Me

Napping.
