As I’m sure many of you have figured out, Cortez….died. I hate typing that just as much as I hate saying it. :’ ( Many of you have asked what happened and have tried getting a hold of me. I realize I might be coming across as being mean/rude, but I just don’t want to talk to people yet. There are a few that I have spoken with, and with that there is an understanding that I don’t want to talk about how I or the rest of us are doing or what happened. Please don’t feel offended if I haven’t returned your calls or posts. The people I have spoken with are pretty much people I’ve had to talk with due to me having to be in a situation with them.
I have been thinking about writing something for some time now, but just didn’t have the courage to do so. I’d like to write about a lot more concerning this issue, but I feel that that is going to have to wait for another time. Sorry.
I think what would be most helpful for me right now would be prayers from all of you. Prayers for happiness, understanding, acceptance, adjustment, and less anxiety when it comes to Butters. Matt has had a lot of extra weight on his shoulders dealing with me and his own grieving process. Please don’t forget about him.
Thank you to everyone who has called or wrote messages. Even if I’m not responding I am listening to and reading them. They make me feel loved, cared about, and as if I’m not alone in this. Thank you…
Intense grief over the loss of a pet is normal and natural. Your pets are a significant part of your life you have the right to feel pain and grief.
Don’t avoid others–reminisce about the good times, talk to others.-family and friends do understand what you’re going through.
Yes, Butters is also feeling grief. She also needs a lot of extra attention and love to help her through this period.
There will be a time you need to move forward rather than looking backward and mourning your loss. You and Matt have wonderful memories and pictures to look back on… Love ya Auntie Carol
