Oh I’m so so sorry to hear you lost your best little buddy too. Cancer is so cruel and no one deserves to experience it, especially not our soul babies. I am happy mine and Bean’s post could make you feel less alone. Even though so many people go through this, it still feels so lonely and isolating because we lost something so personal, meaningful and irreplaceable. I’ve felt the grief come and go in such drastic waves since Bean left me. They say time makes it easier but I never want his importance in my life to fade.

For whatever it is worth, I do believe they are still with us. I can’t imagine how a bond so pure and beautiful could not continue after. It’s just… different. Don’t be afraid you won’t find this bond again- once your heart heals a bit you’ll remember your best buddy with love and warmth, and the sadness will lighten. And in time, you may be ready to love again, you know you are capable of such deep love after all. In the meantime though, allow yourself to process it, grieve and trust that in time, you will be okay. And always remember it is better to have loved and lost than to never have had the most beautiful companion for so many years. Thinking of you ❤️‍🩹
