You all missed what I did!!

7. Dear Koz, we do care, and we know you couldn't meet her needs while you're healing.

You must miss her terribly, even though you know it was what you had to do.

I thought right away that this would be extraordinarily difficult, because ever since your wife died, your sole focus has been LilBit. While she's away, the grief has space to bubble up again.

I don't know if you are planning on bringing LilBit back home with you after your shoulder is better or if you think it would be better for her to stay long term where she is now. But it's normal for you to feel this way--and normal for this pain to eventually subside. Please be patient with yourself as you figure out the next stage of your life. It's going to take time, but it will happen.
