Happy 2024!

It’s a new year, but I’d like to reflect on 2023. Proud of myself for the highs, lows, and everything in between. My grief was very very heavy. I feel like I’m still processing the losses and adjusting to all of it. I can’t ever forget the love of my Lola Mila and Beari’s beautiful companionship. I felt the most unconditional love from them. It’s bittersweet to start fresh and they aren’t here. 😭

I’ll always share their stories and pictures. I miss having lunch with Lola. I miss being greeted by Beari when I get home from school or work. It’s truly all of the little things. Doing my best to be strong, but also gentle with myself on my most difficult days. I’m ready for the ride! I know 2024 will be a very important year. 💜

2023 was the year of concerts and music! Still cherishing those moments and memories.

I am tentatively the winner of my FF league, but waiting on official confirmation. I spent hours watching most of the games yesterday. That’s how my NYE went. Thankfully I had time to cook dinner for the fam. I’m pretty tired now. I’ll try to sleep, but I’m anxious. One more week of holiday break! Ready to tackle it all.

Good night and I wish you all well!

A year today.

Time has moved so quickly since we had to say goodbye. The house is still too quiet without you. We’re keeping your memory alive by sharing stories, pictures, and videos.

Five years with you was a short amount of time, but it was filled with so much love and laughter. I often say you were too beautiful for this world and it’s absolutely true.

I miss you every day, Beari. I hope you’re running free and enjoying the endless treats wherever you are. Forever a good girl. 🤍🐶✨

Love,

Bernadette

Doozy.

I guess that sums up my week! I miss being on vacay. 🥺 I’m playing catch up, but I’m almost caught up. Countdown to my 36th Birthday! OMGGG. Where did the time go?!!!

Missing Beari a lot. My grief comes in waves. I think I dreamt of her yesterday, but I can’t fully remember. She’ll always be with me/us. This adjustment period is rough. We can’t just take in another dog. We’re gonna wait this one out since we have so much to do. I’ll be patient. I’ve got sights to see the world! I know she’d want that for us. Miss you so much, girl. ❤️🐻❤️

I’m off today, so I can finally sleep in a bit. But I’ve got errands to run later. I hope I’m productive!! Planning to just take it easy.

Well, I might watch another show or movie. Something to keep my mind off of things.

I miss football. Like a lot! 😩

Good night.

😔

We have 1.5 days left with Beari. Her send off will be Saturday afternoon. I requested the day off from work to grieve with family and process.

Tried to make the most of Thanksgiving, but it was just so somber. She’s still alert and has an appetite, but she physically can’t keep up anymore. 2022 has been so hard! I really thought things would improve for her after her diagnosis. It was pretty much an uphill battle.

Thankful for the almost 6 years we had with her. It’s going to be tough. I can’t. 💔

I’ll distract myself later, but this chapter of our lives is almost over. I’m so sad. I’ve accepted it, but she’s leaving us too soon.

Good night.

The final days.

I didn’t think we’d be saying goodbye so soon. Beari’s cancer has spread and we’re out of options. I wish we had more time, but we had five great years together.

We’re planning for her best week ever! The beach, her fave foods, and whatever else we can think of to send her off.

Losing a pet is never easy. But seeing her in pain is really tough. 😭

I wish her peace and comfort. We love you, Beari. ❤️🐻❤️

I am broken.

Depressed.

I’ve always been one to hide my depression. I’ll usually play it off as anxiety. These last two weeks, I’ve dealt with high functioning depression. I’m pretty much on autopilot and faking a smile.

We have a very sick dog at home and I’m feeling helpless. She needs surgery, but we can’t finance it! So what do we do next? 😭💔 It hurts my head and heart thinking about potential scenarios. She’s still very much aware. She’s just in pain. I want to scream!!!!! AHHHHHHH. 😫

I feel hopeless too. I try to stay optimistic but as of late I don’t feel or think it.

Doing my best to hold on. I’m absolutely terrified.

Please keep me and my family in your thoughts. We definitely need lots of prayers. Thank you!

Good night.

We need your help!

Beari needs another surgery due to a broken hip. We found out a week ago and we’re just devastated! It might be cancer related. Posting her GoFundMe page again.

If you are able, please donate to our cause! I’ve been a hot mess. I’m sad, depressed, and feeling hopeless.

We just want her to be okay. She’s been through so much. 😭🐻❤️ We love you, Beari.

Thank you.

Time is flying, but enjoying the ride. Excited about a lot of things! Staying hopeful. 💜

Life update.

B had her surgery yesterday. She’s alert and comfortable. But she hasn’t eaten yet. I’m hoping her appetite returns. ❤️🐶❤️

It’s been an anxious and overwhelming time. Trying to stay positive through it all. I’ve shed tears already. 😭

We just want her to be okay and back to her usual self. Please send prayers and good vibes.

I’m going to watch some movies and tv shows to take my mind off of things. Not sure if I’ll get much sleep.

Wishing you all a good night.

Day 408.

Happy Saturday! I needed to rest and that’s exactly what I did. I’ll be working on some stuff though before I sleep. Gotta get it done!!!

  • I got to sleep in! It was amazing.
  • We decided to order lunch to celebrate our beloved Coco. She would’ve been 20! She was a beautiful dog. Happy Birthday! Love you. ❤️
  • Lunch was delicious! Very savory and flavorful. I’ll definitely order from Saucy Asian again. 😋
  • I watched some baseball on TV. And then I started to get sleepy so I took a long nap. It eventually turned into deep sleep. I’m pretty alert now so I’ll work in a few.
  • Dad is feeling better. Still praying for his healing and good health!!! 🥰🙏🏼
  • Ordered from another Canadian company for hair accessories. Part of the proceeds will be donated to breast cancer!
  • I really want to make spaghetti again. Might go shopping for some of the ingredients tomorrow. Yes!!!
  • It was a mellow day. It was cold.
  • Played some Animal Crossing! All my turnips have been sold. Did the usual on Mango. Celeste visited last night. Need more DIY recipes from her. Nothing new to report today. Need to start gifting things to my villagers again.

Hope it was a great day for everyone! Take care.

Good night.
