I have saved whiskers, a tuft of her fur clipped by the funeral company, and some fur from the brush. It just feels like slowly erasing her from my house. 💔

I don’t know what I’m going to do with him. I’m trying to ensure he gets a feed when I see him and parasite treatment once a month, but currently I can’t seem to do any more than that.

May I suggest you print some pictures of her and frame them for the wall. All the other things just end up in a drawer but it would be nice to have a picture on display.

  That’s a good idea. She was such a beautiful cat.
  
  I do fret. It’s a really awkward position to be in and I have my fingers crossed he doesn’t get sick, hit, or attacked by another animal.

you can’t erase her. It’s not possible. As long as you are here, she is here, in your heart, where she can never, ever be taken away from you.

  Sometimes it feels like I’m already forgetting how she felt to hold and what she sounded like 😔

    grief and shock do that to your memory. It doesn’t last, I promise.
    
    some lives hit so much harder when they leave your own. Two years on and I still can’t speak out loud about Punkin without crying. And for along time it felt I’d lost even the memory of him. But I got it back. And you will too. It your mind trying to protect you from harm when you’re breaking down, and doing it in a stupid, stupid way.
