A month ago, my cat’s death sent me reeling in ways that I never could have anticipated.

“How long?” I ask half-jokingly one day when my boyfriend returns with our cat, Aji, from a check-up at the vet.

“Thursday.” It’s all he can do to force the word out, like speaking too many could unleash something dangerous.
