Thank you for sharing about Penny; your writing about her is so touching and real. I have two kitties who just turned 5 and am snuggling them extra much. Thinking of you and your sweet fur baby; she sounds like she was so very loved.
I relate SO MUCH to that feeling of strange calm after losing a precious animal. It’s hard to explain the feeling but those who have been there know it. Sending you more moments of calm and peace
I felt so similar when we had to let go of our first dog we had for 15 years - the time leading up to know it was happening was so hard. I’ve been taking a death class this year and I’m learning that nobody knows how to prep for grief - even the “experts.” Witnessing your honesty to your grief is beautiful and human.
New sub here! ✨ I had to put my cat down unexpectedly two weeks ago and there are only a few times in my life I’ve felt that kind of heartbreak. Sending you love.
This Time Tomorrow was one of my favorites last year—can’t wait to listen to this interview!
The brief calm - I understand this completely. I've lived through the life cycles of two dogs and there's just this....weird silence...I don't know, but I think you understand.
On a happier note, I want to add my full support to The Vacationers! I read it every summer. It's smart, funny, and imo, the ultimate summer read.

it’s almost funny, isn’t it, how unprepared we are for something inevitable? i bet a grief class is fascinating.
