I lost one of a pair of "puppies" that I have had for 14 years. She was hit by a car. I feel I am quilty. I have been suffering from very bad dression again, so I move into my son's house so he could help me. but because of this, my midnight is now gone. because I;m not strong enought, she had to pay. I can't look at her sister without crying, I can't even do anything without crying , I feel its all my fault. What do I do,? How can I make it up.? She was one of my kids to me. and now she is gone within mins. Her life is gone because of me. I'm so sorry , I'm so sorry....

Its so hard to lose a loyal pet. They are family. Our cat lived for 20 years and I miss her dearly. There's no way you could have foreseen that accident by moving in with your son...and you needed the support of family. In saying that I am a hypocrit though. I lost my Mom to colon cancer and if I had flown out to see her sooner we could have caught it sooner and she may have survived. If only, if only, if only. We are both beating ourselves up. Are you being treated for your depression? I hope so and I hope it works for you. God bless your pup and you. Scott

There is nobody on earth strong enough to keep their loved ones from dying when the time comes. And unless this was a very unusual dog, she still loves you completely and would never dream of blaming you.

By the way, I doubt you're really depressed -- depression is a disease state. You're grieving a huge loss. There is nothing diseased about feeling terrible at a time like this. And blaming yourself is a useful way of feeling in control of something none of us can control (death is bigger than both of us, baby), but it's too painful to be worth it.

Hi everyone,I'm just here to say that I'm trying this to help with my depression and my ptsd with knowing an alcoholic. I've tried my whole life to help myself grow up, but I'm just scared to. And maybe, hopefully, this might help. It's better than doing nothing about it.
