Oh Susannah... you, and your beautiful cat... your beautiful words... I'm feeling your heartache🩷 these creatures get right inside us and curl up in our hearts don't they? My fur-babies are well, but we had a sudden loss last year and, well... he's still with me 🩵

Thank you too, for this glimpse of older-you. You know I love your work and I'm in a big inner-child-healing phase... but so grateful for this reminder there's an older wiser part in me too xx

Oh, Susannah, my heart aches for you and Baba. The connection you two have will never be broken, only changed. The message from your older self is, I hope, one of comfort for you. Sending you and Baba so much love.

Awww. Susannah, my heart goes out to you. You're modeling anticipatory grief so beautifully with your words and photos. I wish you peace, comfort, and strength as you walk Baba home. I believe we will be reunited with our fur babies and all of our loved ones when it is our time to go home... until then carry her in your heart. 🌈🐈💙

I don't know what to say as her transition nears, so I won't fumble around with words that won't help. I think of you both often and send you each love. Your connection is such a beautiful and powerful one. Damn, loss hurts so much when the relationship is so rich. I'm wishing you as many days as possible, with her comfort of course. <3

This brought to mind all the furry companions I lost along the way, the loss I felt at the time, the loss I still feel, and all the transformations that letting them into my life brought on. Beautiful and poignant, thank you for sharing.

Sending love to you and Baba x

Hi Susannah, thank you for putting this out in the world. I feel for you and Baba. I am turning 60 next month, and am grieving the loss and celebrating the lives of Shinto and Shiva, the two ginger cats I shared my life with for almost 21 years - a third of my lifetime. I feel your love for Baba, I feel the anticipation of the upcoming loss, and I feel the weight and the meanig of the place Baba has and will continue to have in your life.
