Coping.

Going through the stages of acceptance, anger and everything else entailed in digesting the news that your beloved family member is going to die within a matter of months to a year… Well, it’s been a rocky road.

But I consider it a success that I can now go an hour without a breakdown. I know it will get better. And worse all at the same time.

The past few weeks have been an entire roller coaster for me; from an amazing working retreat with my coworkers at Buffer to coming home to find my darling dog’s lymph nodes enlarged. And then the vet appointments and news…

But each day brings different triumphs and challenges.

Going through six years of photos for the slideshows was such a delight and adventure down memory lane. I am so incredibly grateful for every single moment with this amazing dog with the large pittie smile and big heart. I know each moment from now to the end will be equally treasured.

Still, it’s something we’re all coping with in our own way.
