are the way we can come to grips with our other loses. Their love and devotion is unconditional but their temporality is not. I have lost so many family, friends, and pets over the years and seem to cry most over the pets. This is not because I cared for them more but because they allowed the release of all the pain that I could not otherwise have done.
Get another to love and care for because that is what life is and what we are here to do. All else is illusion. You will heal in that environment.
