Today another member of our pack passed away. Snowy. Born February 15, 2015. Fierce protector, loyal companion. Cried my heart out. She had been with me since she was born. I named her after the Bastard Jon Snow.

When you lose a pet, you don't need to have faith; because you have Fact.

You need to know about the Conservation of Energy, so you will know that the energy of your lost friend is still with you. You need to know about the first law of thermodynamics: No energy gets created in the universe, and none is destroyed. You need to know that all the energy, every vibration, every BTU of heat, every wave of every particle that was your loved one remains with you in this world. You need to know that amid energies of the cosmos, they gave as good as they got.

All the photons that ever bounced off their face, all the particles whose paths were interrupted by them playing, by the touch of their fur - hundreds of trillions of particles - raced off, their paths forever changed by your pet. All the photons that bounced from them were gathered in the particle detectors that are your eyes. Those photons created within their constellations of electromagnetically charged neurons whose energy will go on forever.

All our energy is given off as heat. The warmth that flowed through them in life is still here, still part of all that we are, even as we continue the heat of our own lives.

Scientists have measured Precisely the Conservation of Energy and found it Accurate, Verifiable, and Consistent across Space and Time. The science is sound. You know their energy is still around. According to the Law of the Conservation of Energy, Not one bit of them is gone; they’re just less orderly.
