…and time can do so much.

4 years have passed in an eternity and the blink of an eye. I still miss Bella. I still wish she were here. But now thinking about her makes me happy. Most of the time I don’t cry (though anniversaries still get me). Some may say she was just an animal, but those who have had pets know that they are really family.

While it can feel that time does go by slowly, time really can change things. You don’t forget what happened, but you learn to adjust.

“The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not ‘get over’ the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same.” – Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
