awwww.. i lost my cat, missy, on july 3. today i was soooooo sad.. it was a low day where i felt nothing felt like it was getting better. Hugs to you. i still haven't gotten my ashes back yet, but maybe that will help me like it did you. i know we just gotta try to stay strong. it is hard. here for ya :) susanne.

The loss of a pet definitely makes you reflect on some things. Even things not related to the pet. I think that is natural, and a good thing. I would just give it some time before making any big decisions while in such an emotional state. Things in life probably just seem worse than they are because of your loss. I know that I've felt less social, less driven at work, etc... Its getting better. But losing a great companion knocks you off your feet. Just give yourself some time to recoup, and maybe things won't be as bad as they seem now.

I honestly know how you feel. I lost my Grizzly May 3rd. I havent felt the same since. He was the best dog. I cry just writing this. My husband thinks i should be better,but i truly believe Grizz was the only thing in this world that loved me unconditionally. I knew i would have a hard time with it,but it is hard sometimes. I think when the death of someone,or a pet close to you happens,it can change the way you looked at alot of things before that. I know it has for me also.

I'm deeply sorry for your loss. I lost my 1/2 chihuahua 1/2 pom. 2 weeks ago and I too am having a rough go. She was my buddy. When I sat down she was in my lap and she slept with me every night. Thus nights are terrible. I can't go to sleep. Time heals all pain but we will always have scars to remember. Hugs @ hugs to you. Hang in there and like me, you too will make it. It takes time.

I lost my Katie on March 25 and I still cry almost every day. Sometimes I beat myself up because it has been almost four months, but at the beginning I gave myself permission to cry as much as I needed to. She was my best girlfriend. Now my little Kujo, the white baby in the photo is scaring me. He has a heart murmur, a collapsed trechia, he cannot hear and blind in one eye. I keep checking him to see if he is breathing because I cannot bear to lose him. I love to hear him snoring because I know he is okay. He has grieved over Katie too. They have been together 10 1/2 years. I thought Ku was about 12, but now I think he is older. It has been so incredibly devastating to lose Katie, I cannot bear to lose my little Kujo. He coughs a lot and is on 4 meds, but still like to hump on my two wild and crazy teenage dogs. "The pain is intense because the love was so great."

Just reading everyone's stories is helping.
I hope you're feeling better, I know it hurts, me too.
