Such inspiring words, Glow. Thank you for sharing too. I think it's a good way to process those experiences too, getting to see them in contrast to other's experiences. Might reveal something of our life themes and plans.
Such as anger and anxiety in some of us being a major hurdle to deal with in life.
And perhaps our experiences with handling such hurdles. You both seem to be doing quite well with handling such things. It's quite inspiring.
I often feel regret about my deceased cat. I feel like I did not pet him enough, and punished him too often, and didn't think about him enough. So, I try to do better with my current cat. I am doing better with my current cat, and that makes me feel a bit happier. Sort of. Just a bit, but I do have to admit, my first cat was awesome, he deserved more pets and attention, and that will sit with me for the rest of my life, reminding me that all cats deserve a lot of loving attention, often, at least weekly, just a few minutes of petting them. Poor animals rely on us humans to survive, at least I could give them more attention.
It does make me want to understand how animals are though, so perhaps death isn't all bad, it drives us to be better, to understand more.
