I'm thankful for my very supportive friends. And their skills at hiding the bodies with no questions asked.

Mana and I are starting to find our new normal. She has come to enjoy dragging me around the block in the morning. Her "hurry the fuck up and stop taking my picture" look says it all.

The hardest thing about meals is not having Shadow laying on my feet under the table. 😭

Mana wanted to go for a walk, basically jumping out of her fur. She was hyper vigilant the whole walk. When we got home, she ran through the whole house. Then, I got a nasty look.
Mana was looking for Shadow.

First Sunday laundry day without Shadow, who literally was my shadow giving attitude I wasn't sitting still... It is taking immense effort to not call for her.
Mana has taken up residence in the front room, and she refuses to come when I call her. So, she's getting run-by pets and scritches.

The sun has risen and set, the first full day without Shadow. I light this candle so she can find her way home.

Never realized how much of an instigator Shadow was until this last week. And even more so today.
I had it backwards all these years. Mana is the dependent, while Shadow was the co-dependent.
Now, I'm trying to be more interactive with a very depressed Mana, while dealing with my own depression.

I'm both thankful and sorry my co-worker took OnCall from me this weekend.
But I need to grieve, and he has given me the room to do so.

Yup. I'm devastated by my loss.
Mana has been punishing me because Shadow isn't home.
Well, to be fair, I'm punishing myself too.
I don't regret having them be part of my life.

That gut wrenching feeling when you expect to find a Shadow at your feet, then you remember why she isn't there.

Mana and I were by Shadow's side until the very end. I'm extremely thankful my friends were with me during the process to help hold me up.
