Coping with the Loss of My Beloved Dog

thank you so much. i really appreciate all the love and support. i have five cats and the house just seems so empty and quiet without my dog fighting them all the time. i’m definitely v depressed rn but i appreciate you guys sm 💕

I was in the same situation as you a couple years back when I turned 18. My dog got really sick really fast, caught a nasty infection, and I had to put him down. I had him since I was 8, and he was everything to me. I will say that it took me a long time to be okay over it. It took me about a year to not cry over it regularly, but even now (almost 4 years later) I still cry whenever I really think about it. Time will not heal your hurt. It's just gonna help you grow around it and learn how to cope

I believe she's waiting for you at the rainbow bridge. I too also had a cat for 15+ years. When he went, I was so broken up about it I couldn't sleep in my room at my mom's house for at least a year. Since then I've had another 4 cats, all passed on at this time; honor her memory. Time will pass & sooner than you realize, you'll be ready to have another fur baby because you want to honor this previous relationship.

thank u :( i know there’s not much anyone can tell me i just needed somewhere to talk bc i feel so alone in real life and barely any of my friends have asked if i’m okay or what’s going on so it sucks. so thank you for responding and caring ❤️

I'm so sorry 😞❤. my cat recently just died and I've had her since she was a baby and she isn't here anymore so I get it, it sucks. she was like a part of the family to me. all I can say is that it gets better in time
