I'm so sorry, Louna. I know the feeling. Our pets are family members, sometimes our closest family members. We love them with all our hearts.
The only thing that helps is time. The excruciating pain will quickly fade, but you'll always have happy memories. Staying busy also helps to keep your mind off of the pain.
I would say surround yourself by people who care. If you wish to be alone you can do that but not for too long, being alone for too long isn't good for anyone. People love you, and those people don't want you to suffer alone. It doesn't feel like it now but you'll deal with it better with time, the pain will never fully heal but it will get better.
Uh.. I never had a real pet other than a fish that had a little accident -- death. I can't understand your pain but I know any kind of loss hurts as hell so I'd say to give it time to heal. Maybe in the future you even decide to adopt a new furry friend.
It's tough. But unlike moving on from people (breakup) there seems to be less of a risk with going for a quick rebound (finding a new pet).
Maybe that's a weird comparison, but either way find a new dog to love once you feel the timing is right... adoption is always a good option to at least consider. Good luck!
I'm very sorry for your loss. Our pets are family, and we grieve their loss just as we do other family members. Time will heal. For the meantime, here's something I posted not too far back that may help keep things in perspective. It applies to our beloved pets as well:
Coping With the Loss of a Loved One: The Least You Need to Know - GirlsAskGuys
Oh wow I'm sorry to hear that to me have having a pet. Is just like having a child I know it's hard because I've been through it before he'll take some time and it'll take you putting more pets stranger dogs you need of any cat any kind of pet just giving them their love that you have it will help you through it
I'm sorry for your loss. We know it's unavoidable when we adopt furry kids with much shorter lifespans than ours, but it hurts all the same. The way I see it, you gave her a wonderful life full of love, and that's all dogs really ask for. I'm of the opinion that adopting another dog right away isn't somehow avoiding grieving her loss, but honoring her by giving another dog a loving forever home.
I am sorry for your loss. Pets can become like a family member. Just try to think about the good life your pet had and what a special bond you had. When my cat had to be put to sleep I went to the veterinarians a couple of weeks later and donated a pile of old blankets I had and told them I appreciated the great care they gave my cat. Somehow that made me feel better.
Realize that the dog's essence has gone back into the "pool of dog essence" and your pet served you well, and that you loved her/him. Dog's don't have souls the way humans do. Take some time to grieve and regroup, then get another dog from the shelter who desperately needs a human to love them, and let the circle be unbroken.
I am so sorry sweetheart, It's like losing one of the family and nothing can really help. Just take the time to grieve properly (Irrespective of how anyone who doesn't have a pet wouldn't understand) It takes time, as long as time as you need.
No easy way. Just go with it. Shed tears when you need to. Don't be ashamed. There will be reminders for years to come. Each time it may bring more tears. Eventually it does get better and you learn to live with it.
That sucks. Sorry to hear that. Losing a good pet is never easy. Time is the answer for some, and sometimes I have seen others be gifted with a new one quickly to help with the healing and grief.
I dunno, never experienced that, if a pet of mine dies I don't care, I jus get a new oneTry to realise that emotions are pointless, stupid, and useless.. then you an become emotionally blunted like me and never have to experience a bad feeling againAlso realise nothing you do in life matters cos you're not born for a trillion years, live for 70 something years, then years dead for 70 trillion more years. What you do while alive doesn't matter. Nothing does. And it doesn't matter that a pet died
Time only. It has been like 3 years since I lost my rabbits and I have been over it. But still I can't stop my tears when I see there pic or think about our moments.
I'm so sorry for your loss. It's never easy. But try to keep busy. Eventually when you feel better maybe you can open your heart to another friend. Not to replace. But to love and guide.
I’m sorry, take your time- it’s always the worst. I have an older cat with some recent mystery health problems and I’m dreading the day. If you can bring yourself to, try to adopt one. There are so many pets who need a stable home.
She was a beautiful girl. I’ve loved a lot of furries and been there a number of times. Allowing yourself to feel everything, and keeping pictures close by help get you through it a little easier.
You need lots of time to grieve. there's no easy way around it. Let it all out as much as you need, talk to someone close, try to take it easy. I'm so sorry for your loss
You don't get over it. You can get another dog and that might help. I still can't get another dog right now. If a chihuahua were to come to my door and needed help, I probably would take him or her in.
Only tough if you care. When you stop caring about everything in life nothing is tough. And nothing warrants caring about anyway. We're jjs ants floating around on a huge rock in space
