Our pets are like family. I've been driven to create grief and celebration of life work for many years. I mostly design and write poetry for humans, but I do not forget our beloved cats and dogs (birds and fish too). I offer custom work as well. It's my honor to create memorials. I am humbled.

Today is so fucking difficult. I am out with my daughter on a beautiful day, though part of our task is causing me to lose it and almost break down crying at every step.

I am hoping I last until we get home where I can go into my room, lock the door, and let it out.

sucks!

It is possible to live, even thrive, beyond our darkest hours

Loss is difficult. A person’s death leaves a gaping hole in the lives of those they leave behind. But it is possible to feel better. To survive and live. And perhaps to even thrive. Ranjitha Gunasekaran talks about her own darkest hours.

Let us honor those taken too soon
By the missile that struck the market in Ukraine
The loss of seventeen lives, a tragedy far too deep
Leaving pain and heartache, the country shall weep
Though for some the pain is not yet done
For innocent children, no more fun
We pay tribute to the dead so brave
Though justice for their killers, they'll never have

If you are looking for a very sweet MG read, you should check Calvin and the Sugar Apples. Focusing on eleven-year-old Amelia and the loss of her best friend Calvin, a twenty-one-year-old chinchilla, this novel is beautifully written and illustrated.

Some things hit harder
Like a cartoon's ton of bricks
Feeling grief-buried

I have the day off today, and so far it's been a very good day. I've been taking it easy and haven't checked work email so far.

And I've only felt the need to cuss things once or twice. Sorry, watch charger! You know I love you!

Here's to hoping I'm making my way out of the anger phase following my dad's death earlier this summer!

A quotation from Byron, George Gordon, Lord:

«
By those, that deepest feel, are ill exprest
The indistinctness of the suffering breast;
Where thousand thoughts begin to end in one,
Which seeks from all the refuge found in none;
No words suffice the secret soul to show.
And Truth denies all eloquence to Woe.
»
