I think Bob and I had this discussion on feeling numb after so many of our pets passing.
Consensus was itās a protection measure for our feelings. While we acknowledge the passing (or imminent passing) of our pets (and even friends and family), after experiencing a number of deaths one becomes less emotional and more detached. There is nothing the feel guilty about, itās a coping measure, if one were to constantly be emotional and stressed with each passing it would build up to become unbearable. The body learns to deal with the experience the same as it would any experience.
Then of course āthe heart wants what the heart wantsā for many reasons.
I personally am resigned to the fact everything dies, that an end must come to all. The dead have no worries.
To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether 'tis Nobler in the mind to suffer The Slings and Arrows of outrageous Fortune, Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles, And by opposing end them: to die, to sleep No more; and by a sleep, to say we end The Heart-ache, and the thousand Natural shocks That Flesh is heir to? 'Tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To die to sleep, To sleep, perchance to Dream; Aye, there's the rub.
