That Certain Kind of Pain

There are no words to describe the pain of losing a pet. It is impossible to find the perfect way to explain what you feel, but I will try. It is like someone ripped out your only reason for existing and stomped on it in front of you, and all you can do is watch. It is like your best friend since childhood just left, no warning, no closure, just an emptiness where they used to occupy. No matter how many excuses or im sorrys other people give, no matter how many “at least you were there with him”s, it doesn't change the fact that your only source of happiness disappeared just like that. The universe took him. it didnt care about what you thought, it didn't care about the amount of nights you would spend crying, it didn't care about you. As someone once said, “When the world turns its back on you, you turn your back on the world.” It will hurt for longer than you will ever think pain can last. My only advice is to keep going. even on the days their picture popped up, and you don't want to get out of bed. On the days you saw their favorite spot, you stop eating. On the days when you just remember them and you cry for hours instead of doing homework. let. it. happen. its ok, permit yourself to grieve, it can only get easier from there. I know it seems impossible, trust me. If you just let yourself do the hard shit, life gets easier. I should probably take my own advice, giving it is easier than doing it myself. may be thats why i havent gotten out of bed yet. Just know you can do it. I promise. mushroom 5/29/20-11/25/25 ❤️❤️i miss you so much
