I know from experience that your heart is full of kindness and compassion. I am sure your girl dog adored you and knew how much you loved her. Could it be helpful if each time you are tempted to reproach yourself, instead you took that moment to write down a memory or two of a moment of joy or comfort that you shared? That can sometimes break a downward spiral. Blessings to you, dear Sprink. Joy will come in the morning.
💕🕊💐
