I woke up feeling sad, but not overwhelmed like yesterday. Today, there is just normal grieving going on, not the shock and guilt we felt when Loki died suddenly one morning, 10 years ago. Maybe it's the awesome healing power of rationalization, but I know we did all we could for Echo, ultimately couldn't save her from her inevitable demise, and gave her mercy and peace at her end. I'm okay with that.
Bill is having the harder time of it I think, because he wasn't able to be here for the closing chapter of the story. Though he left Monday knowing that he probably wouldn't see his dog again, it was hard coming home to a suddenly dogless house. But we're both dealing with it, and we will heal with time.
In the words of Forrest Gump: "That's all I have to say about that."
