I am very much struggling with the terminal diagnosis of my best friend and emotional support, my beloved dog. He was given 1-2 months to live and I can't imagine my life without him. I just started a new job right after I got the news and I am having a very tough time going to work and leaving my dog when I know I have very little time left with him. I feel like I am betraying him by not being with him and cheating myself of precious time with him. I don't know how to deal with this and the anticipation of losing him is make it incredibly difficult to function. He's my heart and I don't know what I will do without him and I don't know how I can keep going to work knowing he will be gone soon.
