3. It's probably the worst thing in the world ...I'm very sorry.
|
I've had to put down two sick dogs to date, and I took it harder than I did when some family members have passed.
It is very normal to feel this devastation when your pet dies. I had a long talk with the vet about this because I was trying to get my head around why this hurts so badly. She said that there are 2 reasons: 1) Our pets depend totally on us. 2) We are everything to them, and they give their entire selves to us without expecting anything back from us...that's just how they are wired. Don't be afraid to let your feelings show...it's a terrible terrible loss, and you need to grieve properly. Most people will understand this. Keep reminding yourself that you did good by your pet...you did good.  |

25. Aw damn. I'm so sorry you have to go through this, onecaliberal.

We lost one of ours this past summer. We knew it was coming. She was disabled from a stroke and we knew she only had a little while left. Beautiful classic tabby. Almost 20 human years old. Sweet thing.
Dammit. We love them and dread the day they inevitably leave. But how could we NOT have these precious companions in our lives? Thank you for bringing your grief here. You won’t have to go through it alone. Lots of us have been through this and shared it here, and found sympathy, empathy, and comfort. This is a truly great community. As DUer Skittles once put it: “someone’s always here.” Sure meant a lot to me that day. |

It's bad enough when you know it's coming, but to happen so suddenly without warning, what a shock.

You've lost a child. That's why it's so devastating. I feel I'm a mother of three: a human son and two crazy sweet dogs.
Sending hugs.

That's how I survived my mom's passing.
With my pets that are now gone, it always hurt me that they couldn't talk to me and tell me what was hurting them or why they just were not themselves. I suppose them being quiet companions that never complain (unlike so many humans) is why we love them so much. ..............  .....for being his best friend......

32. I am so very sorry - and you must still be in shock

Though I've been there, as well, and we never are really prepared for it, no matter what. But I do know that it does help to talk about it - so you did the right thing, brought it to people you knew would understand and be there for you when you needed love and support. The one reassurance I can offer you which I hope might help when more time has passed - and that he was so very fortunate to have found you. Hang in there and please let us know how you are.
And here are instructions for posting photos here, whenever you want them.
