Sometimes you have to experience pain to truly appreciate happiness. You have to know loneliness to recognise true companionship. You have to experience loss to understand the value of what you had. But grief isn’t something you need to rush through or turn into a lesson. Let yourself feel it. Let yourself have bad days. Sometimes, the hardest seasons teach us just how precious the good ones really are. I’m currently going through one of the saddest challenges of my life. My best friend, my closest companion, Bella, has a tumour. The possibility of losing her is absolutely crushing me. She has been such a huge part of my life, and the thought of a life without her is something I’m struggling to even imagine. 🐶💔
