It's been four months since I said goodbye to Nami, my faithful K9 companion. Grief is a strange journey; some days are okay, and others are super tough. Nami wasn't just a pet; she was family. When she left suddenly, the silence at home was hard to bear. I cried and cried for weeks and my eyes were so puffy and hard to see anything.....But amidst the pain, I find comfort in the memories we shared. She and I hiked all over the beautiful Bay Area hiking trails. Went to Yosemite, Tahoe, Napa, Sonoma...had amazing times together. They say grief is the price of love, and I loved Nami to bits. Friends/Clients and family have been my support, sharing their own stories of loss. Rituals, like lighting a candle or hiking Nami's favorite spot, help keep her memory alive. As time passes, the pain doesn't fade, but it changes. The emptiness she left behind is now filled with gratitude for the time we had together. It is still hard but little by little I am learning to cherifh our time together instead of crying. Healing isn't about forgetting; it's about learning to live with the ache. Nami's paw prints will always guide me through this journey of love and loss. I love you Nami - you are my forever love.
