I came over to check up on you. I had not received any writings for a while nor comments or claps on my stuff. And wondered if you were OK.
Obviously, the comments and claps are secondary. I was missing our Annie.
Tough read to be honest. But I do not think your reaction regarding the dog is unusual or incorrect. I did a similar thing when I heard my father had died, which surprised many around me.
I think people process in a myriad of ways. And isn't that wonderful? Imagine if we all processed everything the same way. Humanity would be quite boring and predictable.
You did fine Annie.
