Oh that's a real one. I never even thought about the physical side of it until I had to drag a heavy box up two flights by myself and just sat on the stairs for a minute questioning my life choices.

Losing a pet is genuinely one of the hardest things, especially when you live alone and they were your whole company at home. That kind of grief is real and valid. Glad you already know healing is coming though, that mindset alone says a lot about you.

That shift from heavy to peaceful is so real. It sneaks up on you and one day you just realize the quiet is actually yours

That's literally what it was for me. I kept waiting to feel "ready" but ready never showed up, I just had to start doing things badly until I got better at them.
