Again, it’s been a while since I blogged, a sign that things have been tough and challenging. And it really has been. I will write about that another time.
My sister died of sepsis on 27 09 18. I am devastated. I am in mourning as I’ve never known to mourn before. If one reels with shock, I am reeling. If one limps from loss of a shoe, I am limping. If there is an icy wind, I am freezing. I cannot express my loss. I am overwhelmed.
A week later, my dog died. He had not been himself for some weeks. I am lost without him. The cottage feels empty, there is no sound of him running up the stairs, taking a drink, pulling out his box of toys. He is not resting his head on my knee, not giving my nose a kiss, not snuggling up to me. I can’t feel his breath behind my neck, hear his yawn, or feel his paw pat me until I tickle him.
I am empty.
