Before #norathebully I never knew the love of or for a dog. Today I exp'd the pain of losing one. She died suddenly today of a heart tumor. She got to do all her favorite things -- EAT, sunbathe, get belly rubs -- bf she collapsed. quick/painless/but our hearts are broken.
Tonight is my first night going to bed as a widow. Nothing prepared me for the grief of losing my soulmate. Or the anger at those who made it impossible for him to get a ICU bed when he needed one to have a chance to live.
