The World Moved On. You Didn’t. That’s Okay
People mean well, but they don’t always get it.
They might say:
“It was just a dog.”
“You can always get another one.”
“You’re still upset about that?”
But what they don’t see is how quiet your world feels now.
How their absence changed your everyday.
They don’t see you skipping certain spots on your walk.
Or avoiding the toy aisle at the store.
Or sleeping with a blanket they once curled up on.
Grief doesn’t follow their timeline.
And you’re not wrong for still remembering.
Still aching.
Still loving.
Your grief is valid.
And your love doesn’t need permission.
🕊️ That’s why Paws of Grace exists—because moving on doesn’t mean forgetting.
And some bonds deserve more than a shrug and silence.
And if the world has moved on but your heart hasn’t…
I’m sitting beside you in the stillness
