Sharon- I just wanted to let you know that you’re not alone. The pain is real, and seems unbearable sometimes. I’m right there with you, I just lost my baby suddenly, out of nowhere, way too early in life just on Sunday. It feels crushing. I have found that going to a pet loss support group was amazing therapy for me. Just to surround myself with people who understand my grief. I also found a therapist that specializes in pet loss grief. And now also this group forum. This is all within the last four days, because I was worried for myself-the pain felt literally unbearable. I needed help asap. I still cry every 30 minutes, but I feel hope that maybe someone can help me direct the pain and grief in the right direction. I hope the same for you as well. If you haven’t gone to an in person pet loss support group, I’d recommend seeing if there is one in your area. My husband and I both agreed it was helpful to us. I am so so sorry for your loss. The grief is strong, and real, and painful, and it feels so oppressive. I hear it doesn’t last forever though, only the great, loving memories do. If only all dogs could live forever, what a wonderful world this would be.
