I’m originally from PA but lived most of my life with my husband raising a family in Bronx, NY. We moved to Michigan in 2013 to be closer to our grandkids.
I still haven’t found a home for my cat. It’s rough cause I’ve had him since a little kitten and he’s always been my baby. He also represents the end of a legacy because my husband and I have had several black cats through our 36 years together.
Thank you for the empathy. It’s definitely been rough. I started having panic attacks for the first time in my life. I’m surrounded by a loving and supportive family but nothing is ever going to be the same. Truth is we often interact with people casually and have no idea what they might be going through. I’ve even prejudged people without really knowing anything about them. I’ve decided to fight that tendency and just extend a warm welcome or make room to know them better.
Honestly my experience on steemit has been helpful. It’s given me a voice to express my thoughts and work through my grief. Working with Greetersguild has given me a very worthy and productive distraction.
