My wife has photos on the wall of all our deceased dogs. I've told her it hurts my heart to have them so visible, but for her it's a comfort to have the memories of them always present.Mental Fairy wrote: ↑August 1st, 2023, 8:38 pm I then got out photos of the people that i was going through the grieving process for.

Any pet I’ve ever lost has never been on my walls. For some reason I can’t face that loss well at all. I don’t have photos on my walls at home. I put them back into a drawer and move on. Pets are so much harder for me. That sounds horrible I know.

Friends!
I still have all the conditions that made me sad and blue and lonely.
Posting here has helped, as has moving at HIIT.
A friend of a friend has turned me on, at age 47, to the Grateful Dead.
I just learned that much of their oeuvre is based on the blues.

Besides being a beautiful song,”Trouble In Mind” has such a hopeful message: I have trouble in mind, but I won’t be blue always.
Our dear brother Jerry Garcia understood.
Said another way: once again, as always, art pulls me up when my psyche is wounded and my soul is raw. We are human, and have hearts.
