I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. Losing a beloved companion like this is truly heartbreaking, and I know there’s nothing I can say that will take away that pain. I understand the emptiness that fills a home when you come in and they’re not there to greet you, the meals that don’t feel the same without someone to share with, and the quiet nights that make you long to hear those familiar sounds by your side.

You may never stop missing her, and that’s completely okay. This grief might never fully go away, but with time, you’ll find moments where you can walk through the memories and feel warmth in them rather than only sadness. Those steps will come, even if it doesn’t feel that way now. Remember, you don’t have to rush your emotions or pretend to be okay. This bond was so real and deep, and it’s alright to feel each and every emotion that comes. I’m here for you, in whatever way you need.
