    I do think of the good times and all the love we shared but always is taken over by the sadness of just missing her, I honestly don’t believe I have ever grieved like this over anyone or anything and I don’t understand. I’m not gonna lie I have always pushed away from people including family just so I never would have to feel this again not that I didn’t love and care for anyone, I just didn’t want to feel this pain in my chest and sick to my stomach and absolutely no motivation in my life and I don’t understand why this so hard on me! this may be silly to some but everyday I go out to her grave put new flowers on and just sit and talk to her and I pray she hears me! The love I had for her was so much than I realized and losing her has just left me devastated and I can’t seem to get past it. I just don’t know how and everyone around me seems to think I should just be over it and I need to realize that life goes on but they don’t understand that mine life stood still when her heart stopped

      Luigi was a Shetland Sheepdog.
      • @sandyace Hi Sandy. I am sorry you said goodbye to Luigi and hope you are doing fairly well. Are you? What a great name – Luigi. What kind of pet was he? I really would love to hear about your lives together and see some photos. Please let us know how you are. Toni

        I am so sorry, Cindy. It hasn’t been very long since you said goodbye to Mya and you know from experience there is no timeline for healing. Each relationship is unique and carries it’s own special bonds. The ones you have with Mya are special to you and her, as are your others, so the grief and pain does hurt anew. I do hope you are finding or seeking memories of the wonderful times you shared, recalling the joys. When we enter a relationship with a beloved pet we know in our heads one day we will part, but the heart is broken. You wouldn’t have given up the years together, would you? Now you are suffering the pains of losing Mya, but you will always have the love and happiness to warm you. We are here to take the journey with you so please feel welcome to share with us.

          We lost Mya Nov. 7th to cancer she was 13 1/2 and our baby girl. I miss her so much and cry every day, this is not the first time we have had one of our family cross the Rainbow Bridge but it hurts like it’s the first time. I am retired and I spent all my time with her and my Golden Doodle Lexi who misses her too. The daily walks are the hardest but we keep to our schedule.

            • Thank you for your kind comments, I took lots of pictures of our activities and many are on my digital picture frame for us to enjoy. We are just taking one day at a rime.
              • That’s wonderful – having a moving history of your times with Mya hopefully brings back the fun and good times. You aren’t far out from her passing and I hope you are feeling a bit better all the time, but it can ebb and flow and seem like you’re going backwards sometimes. That’s okay, too. It’s all part of the pet love and loss process that we take on when we enter into the loving relationship. Please keep us updated. And if you read some posts here that move you, feel welcome to lend your sympathy and support to others. Toni
              • @lmorin Hello Lori. Welcome to our caring community. Please tell us about Sierra – what kind of pet was Sierra? How did you meet? How long were you together?

                Amy, grief and mourning the loss of your beloved Chloe takes time. As you think of her, do you also think of the good things you did for each other, the fun times you shared? And do you feel grateful for those? I hope so because that can help us as we wrestle with the pain of parting. In our heads we know our pets are only “on loan’ to us, but in our hearts we die a little bit when they do. It’s a very, very deep and unique pain, isn’t it? I hope you will choose to think of the joy of life with Chloe, knowing she was lucky to have shared her life with you, too. We’re here for you so please continue to share with us.

                  Tina, yes you will love Zeke forever, and three weeks is a very short time to mourn the loss of your dearest darling. It hurts like heck and little things bring big grief. It’s hard to think of the great joy and gratitude you feel for the time you had together. It will come, but for now please know our entire community is here for you with undesstanding and care. We’d love to see some pictures and hear about Zeke if you like. Thinking of you both. {{HUGS}} Toni

                    Oh Janet, it is so hard to say goodbye and the pain is very deep. I hope with time you will find smiles before tears with your memories. What a sweet picture of Buster. You are welcome to share more with us, and tell us about your lives together. We’d love to hear. Toni

                      My sweet girl Chloe passed away a little over 3 months ago and the pain has not changed! Losing her took part of and will never be the same! God I miss her so much! She didn’t even realize the impact she had, I needed her as much as she needed me! I wish I had one more day to just sit and love on her and tell her! The moment she died literally shattered me! I love you Chloe mama will always love you Angel and I can’t wait til I get to see you again!

                          • Amy, you are doing a good job by acknowledging your grief and acting on it by visiting Chloe and talking with her. It’s NOT crazy. You are not wrong. You are capable of deep and abiding love. I hope you give some of your love back to yourself, for the care, kindness and love you gave to Chloe. In our heads we know the moment we meet our beloved pet that one day we will have to say goodbye and endure the tremendous grief of parting. But we do it anyway, and share the many fun and funny and joyful times together. Perhaps we ask too much when we want them with us forever. But Amy, you wouldn’t have wanted to not have Chloe as a part of you, would you? I think you are moving through the pain in your own way and at your own pace. Choosing to remember the happiness is a good way to help offset the pain and I hope you continue to do that. Chloe would want you to be happy for your lives knowing her memory brings you joy. don’t you think? I do. Please let us know what’s going on. And be kind to yourself as you would be to her. {{HUGS}}

                                    It was one of the worst things I’ve ever been thru. Until you have to deal with this kind of incident you have no idea how bad the after effects are. It’s a never ending nightmare. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness and kindness. It truly helps

                                        I know! It’s hard not to think of what you did together, and days aren’t the same. But Kimberly, are you finding your memories are happy and that you are grateful for the times you shared? I hope so. I still get blue now and then, but am so happy to have had my girl in my life. I hope you are feeling that way too. Thank you for being in touch and please keep us updated. {{HUG}} Toni
