    Sweetheart,

    Choked up just thinking of how you are feeling. Losing a pet, and so suddenly is the worst.

    Please be gentle with yourself. Hesitant to suggest much, as you sound so vulnerable just now.

    What kind of things do you think might be distracting or soothing when you notice your mind has drifted into the self-blame stuff? Are there any friends who live nearby that you could visit?

    • Just following up because it seems like you’re interested. It’s been two weeks now, and after talking to his usual vet about what happened, he convincingly reassured me that I didn’t do anything wrong, and after opening up to other people I know, I’m in a much better place now. I’m still heartbroken, but at least I’m not blaming myself anymore.
