I don’t bring up losing our dog and my wife has stopped crying…I was really worried yesterday because she wouldn’t stop crying in bursts…she is mentally ill with depression and is on meds for it but I wondered if it would be enough…she loved Rooroo so much…so did I …but she was severely attached to her all her life…anyways , I’m relieved she is herself today.

thanks man. Yes, I feel much better. It still hurts but the trauma and deep grief passed so far…might be in denial…don’t think so…

Grief comes in waves. You might feel good one day then feel worse the next. Just be easy on yourselves. Process the grief as it comes. It might not go away completely, but it will lessen over time.

very true @anon55031185 thank you…I have lost many pets in my life and I find consoling thoughts and feelings from having given Rooroo the life she deserved as long as she lived…grief is a common thing in my life lateley since I recently last year lost my father. thank you.
One way to help process your grief is to celebrate her life in some way, however small, when you are sad. It can be anything, like writing a poem, journaling about a good memory, making a memory board, etc. Celebrating the good years that you had with her and remembering those precious memories, helps with the healing. Hope you find this helpful.

thank you…I put a lot of my journaling here on the forum in a way…it’s the only writing I do…I believe we see our pets when we die so that is a great comfort to me.
