It's when you have nothing to continue, as you did every day with her, that the grief becomes more pronounced. Because we miss how they made us feel, and how we structured our days around them. But still, not easy to say goodbye.

I'm pretty sure that Molly still had appetite (she was first to find the new hay bale and looked like she was enjoying it), but I guess not all symptoms are relevant in every case.
