Cynni's Blog<p><strong>Is it getting any&nbsp;better?</strong></p> <p>I guess so but…</p> <p>Why does it need to take so long..? </p> <p>When bad things happen, when there’s trauma, pain, and/or grief, time can seem to go so slow… Of course time is always the same, but we’ll experience it in a different way… Which makes it feel like a week or two have lasted as long as a month. Or something to that effect…</p> <p>As my perception of time was askew and distorted, it was hard to really know if I was making any decent recovery. I had no experience with the trauma I’d suffered (for which I was grateful, and I wish that I still would not have that experience), and the pain and nightmares were disturbing my night’s rest, making it even harder to fully understand how fast, or slow, my progress went. I didn’t know the “usual” recovery time for something like this, so how was I supposed to know if I was doing well?</p> <p> […]</p> <p><a href="https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2025/08/09/is-it-getting-any-better/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2025/</span><span class="invisible">08/09/is-it-getting-any-better/</span></a></p>

nulle part<p>Does anyone have any resources to recommend for dealing with the anticipatory grief of pet loss? My senior dog has aggressive cancer that won't be cured, but we're going to start at-home chemotherapy to hopefully keep the mass from getting bigger and causing discomfort. She is totally asymptomatic so far, acting totally normal and high energy. I'm trying to stay in the moment with her and just enjoy every second right now, but I need to be preparing myself, too. I think I am just going to fall apart when she starts to decline. I'm so scared to put her through the treatment. I don't know what to expect. She's been my little best friend for over a dozen years, and I don't know how to have a life without her. I don't have many friends or family to lean on. She is my family. If there are things that have helped you through a painful pet loss, I'd appreciate any tips.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Dogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Dogs</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/DogsOfFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DogsOfFedi</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/PetLoss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PetLoss</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Grief" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Grief</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AnticipatoryGrief" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AnticipatoryGrief</span></a></p>
