Having someone to cry with can be a very powerful presence in helping you get through the loss of a pet.

Maro passed away shortly after I met my wife and started living with her.
My wife and I spent very little time together.
During that time, she doted on cats, but because she was allergic to cats, she didn’t get close to them very often, and I wondered if she didn’t like them that much.

I realized how much my wife cared about Maro, and at the same time, she understood my feelings. My wife’s feelings at that time were a great support to me.
