Pet Bereavement Support Group
The loss of a pet or animal to which one has become emotionally bonded can be an intense loss, comparable with the death of a loved one. Whilst there is strong evidence that animals can feel such loss for other animals, this community focuses on human feelings, when an animal is lost, dies or otherwise is departed.
Had to having put him to sleep, the vet emergency tried everything, 3 transfusions, but eventually said there was no chance of recovery. He was on old big, beautiful, gentle, dog (11 years), active and happy up to two days ago.
He had a long happy life, always with me, and he gave me so much love.
How do people cope? I feel I lost a child.

How we cope is different for all. This first day without your beloved Newfie may seem unreal and so long. Bedtime is for connections with a Higher Power, and I had to take a sleep aid.
You know all energy is always with us...just different. Like sugar being disolved in water...same but different.
I talked to Sebastian when he left all day...and I stayed in a numbness also.
I think nature helps us this way.
Prayers and Concern and Comfort and Love for you!
Remember to take care of yourself during this grieving process. I know I have not done this and I have made myself so sick with grief.
