How do you feel like having such a public profile made it harder or easier to process Tika's death? Like, did you wait a while before posting or did you feel like you needed to let people know?

I would say now that it's been a couple months, it's been really nice to have that community.

It was tricky because...

She passed from complications of a surgery she had.

She was diagnosed with a really aggressive cancer and the options were, you know, not to keep her around or to try a surgery, which had a pretty high success rate.

And the surgery did go well.

But then a couple of days later, while she was recovering, she had some complications and passed away.

What advice would you have for people who are about to lose or have just lost a pet?
