you can't erase her. It's not possible. As long as you are here, she is here, in your heart, where she can never, ever be taken away from you.
Sometimes it feels like Iโm already forgetting how she felt to hold and what she sounded like ๐
grief and shock do that to your memory. It doesn't last, I promise.
some lives hit so much harder when they leave your own. Two years on and I still can't speak out loud about Punkin without crying. And for along time it felt I'd lost even the memory of him. But I got it back. And you will too. It your mind trying to protect you from harm when you're breaking down, and doing it in a stupid, stupid way.
Thanks. This has really messed me up
I went into a year long depressive state after losing Punky. We grieve.
I think Iโm heading into one now :(
