I was looking for her every day, calling her and she could probably hear me but couldn't come to me because she was hurt. I still cry now whenever I think of her, but the sadness isn't so continuous as it was when it first happened.
I used to think I could see her in my bedroom and then I'd remember she was dead and it would hurt allover again. I felt guilty too that I'd let her out, that I hadn't looked in the right places to find her.
But all that does ease with time. Even though it feels it never will at the time.
