The loss of man's best friend..

I am struggling. My chest is hurting. Every where I look I see my Sadie girl. I am a homeschool Mom and so my bonding time with my dog was special. I loved her like one of my own children. We had to say goodbye to her on Friday. There was nothing we could do and I dont know how to live. I dont know how to keep going. My body feels heavy and I cant stop crying. Everyone in my home seems to be okay but I am struggling. ( my son is too so I am trying to be so strong and we are mourning together.) I feel empty.

Loosing your Beloved Sadie Girl is not just the loss of a 'pet'....she was a member loved by your family. People grieve in different ways, but let those tears fall, for you and all family members.

I have a kitty, Chachi that is on her way to 21. She gets me out of bed, out of a chair, makes me laugh and give me purpose to my life at 70....she is my 6th kitty. I think sometimes the bond with our furry family can be a harder loss than some people in our lives as they give unconditional love and are our trusted confidants.

Gentle hugs to you, be kind to yourself <3

The hardest part of owning a pet is having to say goodbye.

You have my deepest sympathy for your loss.

God Bless

Miro853, that’s right. She was my guardian and my counselor. She’s been there to catch my tears for so long I am absolutely lost. Thanks for the kind words.

    I've been on high dose prednisone for pneumonia, and now I am slowly weaning. But lots of symptoms I don't like having, plus overeating has put at least 10 lbs on me. The food is "loud" as the GLP-1 users refer to it.Also pressured speech. Which comes out in my posts. Sorry I posted so much. I just need an outlet for my agitated and irritable brain. Just scroll on by my posts, if they are too...

    I accidentally deleted a journal entry that I wish I hadn't. Is there any way to get it back?
