I know time and all that will make things better but it’s still so hard sometimes.
It’s been a weird week – you know how certain, smells, sounds, sights can take you back? Well that’s happening a lot right now – where my mindset was different… everything was different. Last spring is when all this started (with the official moving out and back in with my parents) ... and I feel like I’m coming around to it again.
I lost a lot in the last few years and I’ve replaced nothing in my heart. It’s just a hole – a void. I got a lot of issues to work on, but all I can do is grieve it seems. I’m getting tired.

My heart goes out to you.
I am absolutely positive Biscuit will remember you.
It has to be so very difficult to be separated from your dog.
You might feel like you should be done with grieving. From what I've read, as well as watching friends, it generally takes approx. 2 years to "recover" from the grief (even the trauma) of all that's involved with divorce.
Many times, the separation period goes longer than the minimum required by law. Some find this helpful, some do not.
During this time, grieving is a major task. Many would argue it's best to pay attention to this task and you'll come out of this better for having done so.
That said, everyone completes the related psychological tasks a bit differently.
Anniversaries of major life changes, especially sad ones, can be very painful.
:Be kind to yourself..
