Something is missing........

Still seems I grieve more over pets than humans. Maybe it's their innocence and loyalty that makes their loss create such an impact on our lives.

Same here. My condolences...

I don't ever 'get over' the loss of anyone or any pet in my life. The pain remains just as sharp. The frequency that the pain visits is just less often.

I recently read that losing someone you love is much like being in a ship wreck in a storm at sea . . . at first you're there and in shock, sometimes just clinging to whatever you can . . . the wreckage/memories are so fresh and you're constantly bombarded with reminders of what you've lost . . . the waves of grief that come when you remember are monumental and crash over you over and over . . . but over time the storm abates and eventually the grief returns, but the waves of grief are less frequent and usually not as huge.
