Well, it's been three weeks and a day without Sam. In some ways, things are getting back to normal with typical routines. I can now have a laugh and be distracted from feeling bad. Then there are times where I just stop in my tracks and ache because I miss him so much. It surprises me a bit when this happens and I wish that it would stop. Today it happened on the way to the car in the morning. It felt like I was frozen and couldn't move.
I've spent a great deal of time researching pets and the afterlife. My husband thinks that I'm an obsessive freak about it. He's now making little cracks about my new interest in studying near-death experiences and the soul. He even threw a white sheet over his head and came floating into the room where I was researching this stuff. I'll admit, I did chuckle at that one. I find that this research has really helped, and it's very interesting. I guess I'm just looking for some type of proof that I'll be with Sammy again.
I ordered a book written by Kim Sheridan called "Animals in the Afterlife". Some of the reviews online indicate that it is a resource that really helps people deal with this kind of loss, and argues that we will see our best companions again. Who knows?
When it arrives, I'll write a little review in case others are interested.
For now, has anyone else read this book?
