I am so sorry about Maisy and I totally relate. That familiar lump came back into my throat reading about her and reading your entire post and then came the sobs. Fur balls and feathered babies have carried me through 73 mostly really tough years of my life . I would not have made it this long without them . I wish there were support groups out there on Substack or blue sky. I don’t do any other social media platforms. There is nothing in person anywhere around me either. So you’re right, it’s an extremely private and agonizingly lonely time. I’m glad we can at least share our feelings here on Substack. I am really sorry that you’re hurting so much and wish there was more I could do.
I appreciate you sharing, Leslie. What you said is so relatable. There was always an animal by my side for both the good times and the bad. I hear you about there needing to be support groups away from the other platforms (that is where my Compassionate Paws group is). I do have a lot of resources for how to find local support groups--I will pull together and put here in Substack. But I think you have inspired me to explore setting up a pet loss and grief Sub. Thank you 💖

My daughters torture, Peeps!
I would love it and I will spread the word when you start it! It is so needed.
And I’ve been thinking of you and Maisy, sending love and light all around you .
much appreciated Leslie 💜
