I am still grieving

My mom passed away in 2017.  My dad passed away in 2009.  It was (still is) not easy to deal with their loss.  Reciting verses of Al-Quran does help to comfort me.  But pet loss is totally different game for me.  The last cat that I had that died was in 2009 when I was in UK.  I just received the news from afar.  I didn’t feel the sad for long.  Perhaps, I was preoccupied with other things and losing Merah was not as bad as what I am experiencing now. 

It has been more than a month since Batman went missing.  I thought that I am ok within a month.  After all, I still have Robyn (Batman’s sister).  How wrong I was!  I am still pinning for him.  Still hoping that he would come back any time.  Am I grieving properly? He is just a pet.  Not my parents.  But somehow, it is different now.  I don’t know how to describe it.  As I google some articles for the MUET camp, I find this article about pet loss.

I am who I am and what I am cannot be defined by what I have/posses or have done. Therefore, I am me.
