Oh Susan, I’m so so sorry. I know your grief. I understand this pain. It’s so real and yet deeply disenfranchised.

The worst thing I’ve endured is the loss of my dogs. Some may read this and scoff and think I must lead such a life of privilege if that’s “all” some think my life must be empty if that’s what consumed my grief. But my life is full.

Your pain is testimony to your love. You have lost a family member. It’s never anything less. Ignore anyone who tried to minimise your loss.

I get it!
