> it is impossible to feel sorrow and gratitude at the same time.

I would’ve said this too, until 12 months ago. I lost my dog suddenly. And then some weeks and months later I started to feel her presence running up alongside me when I would walk in our familiar places.

In those moments I felt elation in her presence and also utter despair in her loss all at once.

It was a strange experience but also clear as day.
