It’s been a month. People would say it’s time to move on. But she was my last connection to my mom, and I raised her since she was born. It hasn’t gotten better, and I am not ok.

I'm really sorry for your loss :( it will get easier, but it's completely understandable and okay for it not to be easy now. It is okay to grieve, and it's okay to not be okay for a bit. I'm sure she loved you very much and would want you to be happy, so try to remember that on the tough days ❤️
A year in my case. There are still rough days. The fact of the matter is, there are some people who see pets as just pets, and others who see them as family. They’re entitled to their opinion. But anyone who tells you to ‘move on’ after a month, knowing you’re grieving, needs to get in the sea.
grief takes many forms and healing takes the time it takes. My condolences for your loss, be gentle with yourself. Grief is not an hourglass that can be determined by any metric.
Anyone who would tell you that you need to move on is an asshole. She wasn’t “just a pet” and you’re totally justified in still feeling the way you do. But it still sucks and I’m sorry you lost her.
