So, Artemis died about fifteen minutes ago. Um.

I'd kind of expected it to happen tonight, because while [personal profile] dungeonmarm and I were watching Doctor Who, she threw up all over herself and didn't have the strength to move or clean herself up or do anything but collapse in a heap. After [personal profile] dungeonmarm left, I gave her a bath to clean her up and held her for the rest of the night. She had a seizure at three o'clock and then faded away.

I hope she was comforted by having me there? I don't know. I keep crying, which, you know, I expected. But now I'm not sure what to do next. I'm not sure if I should bury her or find some other way to take care of her, and Alex keeps running around the house trying to find her and I'm so tired and not really ready to deal with this yet? Even though I was expecting it? IDK.

She's not suffering anymore. That's the important part.
