I found out today that Molly was put down yesterday. I loved that dog. I wasn’t going to see her again but for some reason it’s harder to deal with knowing that she’s not existing atm even though she was never going to exist in my life. I know that might sound self centred but she wasn’t self aware and wasn’t scared of non existence so her death isn’t bad for her. Maybe I’m just trying to deal with her death 
She failed the tests they do to see if they can rehouse her. Stu said he would take her and find a home for her but by the time mum contacted the RSPCA today it was too late My mum said to me today “Do you think she’s getting on well with Lulu?” I wanted to believe that but I couldn’t. It’s strange that people are only willing to accept non existence in 3 dimensions of the 4 common dimensions.

Right. Thanks.
I think I actually have trouble with the idea of existing in the 3 spacial dimensions. Because, really, when I die, my body will still be left. And it’ll decay, but the matter will still exist in a different form. But it won’t be me, it will end up as dust and stuff, right?
So if that same matter isn’t me anymore, was it ever really me?
Anyway maybe all that stuff is a bit too conceptual. Doesn’t really make a difference to daily life.
Thanks Dee,
I exist in at least 4 dimensions, 3 spacial and 1 temporal. People accept that they do not exist forever in any of the spacial dimensions, that is, they are of finite size. And people accept that they did not always exist in the 4th dimension, that is, they have not always existed. But people struggle to deal with non existence in the future. People believe that they will exist forever in an afterlife.

Hey Greg,
Can you elaborate about what you mean by existence (or non-existence) in the 4 common dimensions?
Best wishes dealing with the loss.
