Cainmark Does Not Comply 🚲One year and a day ago I lost my best buddy. For 18 years and seven months, he was my best non-human friend. I thank him for all the hard cat work he did, and all the wonderful shoulder loving. I miss him so much.
SkyToday is Bear Day.
He didn’t bark, he boofed.
He wore sweaters.
He loved TV, cheese, and staying.
This post is for the dog who taught us that devotion doesn’t have to be loud. 🧡🐾

Climate MigrantI am so touched by the first review that I received from my first participant in the #petloss support program, in which I use the #grief recovery method as taught by the #griefrecovery institute.
The grief recovery method is the only evidence based method that helps people process their grief and recover from unresolved grief that causes pain in one's life until it's resolved.
The universe brought in my path the 2nd person with whom I will work the program, when she will receive the handbook!

It’s been five years today. I miss you, Edda.
The podcast is out. It's available in several platforms but I share the link from Libsyn.
In this [Campfire Talk] we delve deep into a difficult, but necessary subject: climate grief. Our guest today is Elisabeth Dimitras, a neurodivergent queer soul activist and founder of the online antispeciesist website Ethos & Empathy. Elisabeth is from Greece, but had to move to Sweden due to climate change. She'll tell us about her dreams, the story of her loss, what she learned about the mourning the living, both human and non-human, and about climate grief. In the [Offering], Elisabeth will read us The Shambhala Warrior Prophecy as told by Johanna Macy.
Attention: The episode can be a bit emotionally heavy at times. There is a mention of suicide in the last half.

Lilith, Mother of DarknessI hate myself so much because I had to take my beloved Piki to his final journey to a vets office. Part of me wanted to get a vet to make a house call, so he could have stayed in familiar environment.
But in the end, I just couldn't do it. I knew that I could never feel at ease in my home, because I would always look at that spot while thinking "that is where he passed". I would have had to move, and my options regards to moving are currently limited, plus it's really hard to find a peaceful area where I feel safe.
But that doesn't help me, I still feel that I made his day a lot worse for him to give myself a bit more comfort. It feels so fucking selfish, and I hate myself even more than usually.
Today, we lost one of our cats, Piki. 
Picture is an older one, I wanted to remember him as a healthy kitty.
It was cancer, a seemingly aggressive form. It sadly could not be removed, there was nothing that could be done. I would have given everything if it meant even a little more time.
I'm so broken right now, and there's nothing I can do about it. Don't know how I can handle this, to be honest. He is not the first feline family member I've lost, but it never gets any easier.
It feels like he took a part of my soul with him to the underworld, but that's okay. It will be a nice reminder of me.
Farewell, old friend. Save me a spot in the afterlife, I will see you one day again.
