I would have been braver and taken her sooner so her suffering was less and mine died with her, I would not have let her go alone.

Take good care,

Mine, I can feel your pain coming through from what you have written. There are no words which will ease your pain, and if I remember correctly it’s coming up to the first anniversary. A very difficult time as I have done all the first. Do you still go to the coffee shop, I hope you do. Keep messaging and take care xx
