Today is the 4 month anniversary of my Missy \’s passing. I am just so lost without her. I usually have my family here during Christmas but I just can\’t bring myself to do it this year. Missy loved everyone and was always the center of attention. -

I’m okay. Her crossing was just over 4 months ago! She was my heart dog, and we had 15½ glorious years together! I joined to post a candle in her honor.-

Thank you for sharing your touching story with us, Randy. My sister’s dog had cancer and she made the loving, generous choice to let him go peacefully, as you did with Ranger. You were thinking only of what was best for him, at the expense of your own feelings. We’ll never know what happened to Axel. It sounds as if something was wrong with him, and yes, maybe whatever it was, was compounded by his grief….we don’t know. But I am sure they DID enjoy a wonderful life full of love and joy with you. Please always feel welcome to share with us, and if you open your hearts and home to more loves, we’d love to hear about them, and see photos. And Randy, if you read posts that move you, please share your sympathies and comfort with others – it means so much. I am glad you are in our caring community. Toni -

Hi Toni. Doing OK here. Getting back to you about the loss of our 2 shepherds. We found out our silver & black shepherd “Ranger” was riddled w/cancer & suffering only 1 week b4 going on a trip so our vet recommended putting him to sleep. We were very sad, but still had our white shepherd “Axel”. 6 days later we took Axel to a local boarding kennel before we went away & 2 days later the lady who runs the kennel said he became ill & lethargic. A few hours later she called back to tell us Axel had passed away. We cut our trip short & came home late that night. We picked Axel up in the morning & brought him home to bury him in our yard next to Ranger. We don’t know if he died of a natural cause like heart failure (he was over 10 yrs old) or if it was the trauma of losing his buddy. We’ll never know for sure why it happened but we hope that they both enjoyed a loving home here w/us.-

Lori, you ask how you ‘handle’ the pain. You ARE handling the pain, but not really …IT handles you in that the pain is not a feeling, but a state of being. I think it’s a cellular part of us, just as Max was such a deep part of you. But, the love is also a part of you, as are the memories of how you gave comfort to poor little scared Max, and he gave you such important lessons. What a powerful give and take you shared together. How fortunate was Max, and all of you for sharing the time you did. Every living thing will die – leaves that decorate and feed trees are like our beloved pets – they feed us love, happiness and make us better, but they have to “jump off” at some point, leaving behind the tree of support and strength we shared with them. As a friend says “they are only on loan to us”. It is more than painful to part, in a way that is not comparable, but Lori, what a wonderful gift you and Max shared, don’t you think? I think you and your family are magnificent – you have loved and lost so much, and yet you give more, love more, and of course when you open yourselves up, you can ‘lose’ more. But Lori, would you have it any other way? I am so, so very sorry for your parting from Max. And I am so happy for the love you gave, and got. You have my deepest, most sincere sympathy and appreciation. Please, stay with us and share your feelings, and know we are here with understanding and nothing but kind support. It’s not much, but please accept my {HUG}. Toni -
Lori posted an update in the group
Remember 4 years, 11 months agoWe lost our Max Sunday 11/29/2021 @ 1:11am. He was such a loving little soul. We had rescued him from an abuse situation. He had also been run over by a vehicle and so he had arthritis early on in his back legs.
When we brought him home he had no idea what a bed was, how to play with a toy, that food and water were always available to him. We had to teach him so much, but he also taught us so much. Like how to love again, how to enjoy the simple pleasure of just sitting together with no expectations. We had lost that since our son died and my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. We valued every single minute with Max. He gave unconditionally right up until the end. We knew his time was short as he also had cancer but we weren\’t prepared. We miss him desperately , our hearts are shattered and our home is empty now. How do you handle this pain and heartache? It\’s all consuming and seems as if it won\’t end.-

The closer it gets to Christmas, the more difficult it is for me. I did get out Sunday afternoon to volunteer at our local Museum for the Christmas Train Wonderland. Most of the time I can stay busy during the day. My worst time is the long evenings and nights. Today, the tears just will not stop. I try to comment on other people’s posts but that brings tears too. I keep praying that I will get past the worst of this terrible pain.
