The process of grief is the process of experiencing the pain commensurate with the lost love, not wanting to reduce the pain’s sting because of the love it represents, and finding a path back to normalcy that isn’t gripped with the guilt of abandonment.

Revel in your loved ones while you can.

@bsletten uh oh. Why the philosophy?
@noplasticshower We lost Loki very unexpectedly yesterday.
@bsletten oh no. Sorry to hear that Brian.
@noplasticshower Thanks. Given his age we’d been anticipating the inevitability but the actual occurrence came out of nowhere.
@bsletten sometimes that's better for the pet...sorry it was shocking for the people
