I'm Still Around, Abby's Passing Options

[Abby's Mommy]

I do not wish to share this post.

What is important is that you are dealing with it and will heal and move forward. I caution, however in saying you will "never forgive" someone. The lesson we learn from our pets is that life is transitory - love and caring supercede the petty and silly things that humans throw at each other. If you had treated Abby badly she still would have loved you. Instead of feeling angry at your daughter, perhaps you should feel sorry for her and her lack of understanding instead.

It is sad that she isn't at least showing support but perhaps she just doesn't relate. Perhaps your daughter feels guilty over the fact that she didn't feel the same sense of grief for as long as you. Perhaps she is jealous of the feelings you had for your "pet" and wonders if she holds the same kind of position in your heart. Who knows?

That's not an excuse, by the way, for your daughter's behaviour. Just something to think about.

As always, my heart is with you as you sort out the feelings Abby's passing has brought to you.
