Laurie posted an update 2 years, 9 months ago
Having extreme anticipatory grief for my 14 year old pug, Murphy. He is the light of my life and he’s slowing down more and more each day. And he’s not eating well. It makes me so sad.-
Oh Laurie. In a way, anticipating the loss of Murphy will be worse than the day you actually say goodbye, because you are seeing his decline and struggles. When he is peacefully at rest, I think you will feel better for his sake. You will be devastated, but you already are now. I share your grief. I have seen my beloveds falter and fail, and the day we say goodbye is a good day. Walking in your home will be a terrible thing and I hope you will reach out to us at that time. May I ask you this: for the many years of love and fun you and Murphy shared, would you trade it? Even though we know, in our heads, that one day we will have to part, we willingly and happily enter into a relationship that we know will bring sadness. In our hearts, we can find joy in the years we shared, and you know Murphy lived his best life with you, don’t you? Laurie, I am truly so very sorry you and Murphy are at this phase of your lifelong, loving relationship, and I hope you can pull forth the many, many wonderful joys you shared. Please, join our group meeting November 16th to talk about Murphy and let us know how you are doing. We are here for you💔Toni -
Thank you Toni. Your words and kindness to all of use is a wonderful gift. Murphy has laryngeal paralysis which seems to get worse each day. I feel as if I am watching him suffocate to death. He was so playful and energetic just a week ago and now he’s a completely different dog. Again thank you for being here for me and others like me. ❤️
