Be forewarned, if you head out to her comics, you will cry. A lot. Some of her work is lighthearted, most of her work is very poignant PSA's regarding environmental issues, animal exploitation, and general crap human behavior - from the animals' and Death's perspective.
Happy Caturday All. She still misses her brother.
I miss the best cuddle bug shadow ever.

We have a club here in Denmark called Tucan. Can recommend.

Miss Jinya males some of the most beautiful, thought provoking clmics available on the internet. They're also often very, very, VERY sad and heart wrenching. Be warned. You'll be made richer for having seen&read them, but you will pay with quite some ugly crying. <3

I don't have to pay that price. No one loves me and no one will miss me. o3o I'll see you soon Death. Promise.

That isn’t true. There are absolutely people in this world who love you, even if they aren’t in your life right now. They simply haven’t found you yet. But they will, they always do.

Grief fades with time, but never completely.
We grieve not about people, but loss.
Accepting the loss is the only path forward.
I’m 73. It’s taken me a lifetime to learn only a portion of this lesson.

I bought her book, and love her work. We lost a 14-year-old fuzzball just this month, and it hurts.
IgnisInvictus
I had to euthanize my buddy in January. Had the weirdest dream about him the other night. In the dream, I beat the shit out of someone who hurt him.
I really miss my buddy.

"The culmination of love is grief. And yet we love despite the inevitable, we open our hearts to it. To grieve deeply... is to have loved fully. Open your heart to the world as you have opened it to me, and you will find every reason to keep living in it." - Fey, God of War: Ragnarok.

50 is minimum amount times I tell my new dog "I love you"

That last line hits even harder after you've lost someone close to you.
MeowMachine12
Absolutely. It just makes me appreciate them more than ever and healthily grieve them, in my own time. It's not linear in my experience
Shaodyn
That's how it works for me too. The webcomic Questionable Content used a line in this sort of context that really stuck with me. "It's a hole that'll never completely close."

Thanks for posting the site for this series. It is wonderful, sad, but affirming.
IgnisInvictus
Lol. Welcome. I've got this thing about citations. While this doesn't conform to APA, it's close enough for folks to find the original. I don't suggest doing what I did one night, I read them straight thru bawling the entire time.

And I just realized it's missing a panel and not letting me update.
Here's the panel

FUCK YOU
I typed that correctly, right? I can't see my keyboard right now
IgnisInvictus
Yep.

I like the one where they switch roles for a hot minute, and in that minute death makes the platypus.

Is it weird that I feel like this Reaper was inspired by Pratchett's Death from Discworld? Especially whenever you see him with a cat.
KiyaSeraphia
Because much like Pratchett's death, this one isn't cruel. He's just terribly good at his job, but he's at least there at the end, rather than the dead being alone.
IgnisInvictus
If you're weird, I am as well. They're very similar.

Ironically these squat lobsters are a counterexample of carcinization.
emptyother
And beetles?..
pork4brains
Aren’t those just land crabs?
IgnisInvictus
I was thinking lobsters, they're kinda functionally immortal.
FeedTheNachoMan
Lobsters achieved immortality through a bargain with the devil, the price of their hubris is that they are now delicious to everything on Earth.

FFFFUUUUUCK. I just lost my dad. The last bit. It's what I've been telling myself. And oh how it hurts.
GCRust
My dad's been gone 13 years.
They lie and say time heals all wounds. It doesn't. You learn to live with the pain.

I lost my dad 6 years ago and my mom a year and a half ago. I know what you are going through, and I am going to tell you that it's okay to not be okay. If you feel like you can't handle it, a grief counselor is a priceless help. I was able to get back on my feet thanks to a grief counselor's help, even when i thought it wouldn't do anything.
sirbartonslady
Also, if you read much, there's a book called The Grieving Brain that helped me come to terms with what grief was doing to me. It's about how grief actually affects the way the brain functions. It helped me to internalize that "there's nothing wrong with me, this is natural is my brain coping with the loss"
WarlockSniper
My mom has been gone for over a year.
I still feel the loss. I keep saying to myself to ease the hurting that I should be happy that I had a mom whose passing hurts to much. Because the alternative would be horriffic.
Grief is the love we have left and wanted to give. There is a lot of grief with mom.
MeowMachine12
Yes, that's the perfect way to look at it. My dad died 2 years ago and he was an emotionally constipated asshole who never respected or liked my brother and me and was a racist homophobe. His passing didn't hurt me as I mourned him a long time before his death. Feel your grief and know it's something to be treasured. Your mom was someone to be treasured.
IgnisInvictus
I'm sorry to hear that. I keep telling myself that about my own Dad. It's been 10 years. The grief doesn't stop, it does become less... pokey, less cutting, less burning.
Take care of yourself. Your Dad would want that.
LadyRex
Thanks, friend ❤

I feel like the ball didn't get smaller, I just made the box bigger and tossed in some obstacles so it bounces a bit more erratically. Still hits when it hits, but it has to try harder to land that hit.
LuminoZero
My favorite take on it is from Marvel Comics.
