8 Months Later, Does the grief change? Options

[Daisy's Mommy]

I was thinking about if there was any difference in my feelings now that it has been 8 months since Daisy passed away. I was also wondering how people think the grief changes over time.

In the days following her death, my grief was horrible and acute. Now, it is horrible, but generally less acute. At times, I can even think of her with joy in remembering her, but then waves of pain still hit me. I almost never come home without thinking how she is not there to greet me.

In the days following her death, I could not believe that she was really gone. I still cannot believe it.

I think that the main difference is that now, when asked, I can say that Daisy passed away without breaking into tears.

I will always miss her - my first pet of my adulthood, my true friend, my soulmate, my tiny terrier. There will never be anothe like her. Like in the rose in the "Little Prince", she was unique to me because I loved her.
