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.
