It's been an incredibly hard month.
My precious Bijou, who has been by my side every day for the past fifteen years passed away on February 18. I am still grieving. Grief is hard enough with the external judgement that comes with the territory of "pet grief" - I don't see grieving for a pet as any different than grieving for a fellow human being. Other people do, though. No one has outright said to me anything about how I should be getting over it or anything, but there is this underlying tension of people who cannot relate. It makes me distance myself from people. There are people I normally talk to on a weekly basis who I have not contacted in over a month - just because I know they will not understand. Blah.

I don't know why I'm writing about this on my blog. It's probably rambly nonsense.

Whatever. I'm feeling lost.

I love you, Bijou.
