Hey,
I recently lost my furry friend… It was a tough period and I’m still sad, even if time is healing slowly.
It’s the first time I had to deal with such a situation where I have to decide when to go to the vet for the final journey… It was so hard…
Today I can talk about it without getting too emotional. I’ve also written a blog post on my website to express what I was feeling about that.
People are telling me to adopt another one, but to be honest, I don’t feel like I can do it now… Maybe it will come back, I don’t know.
All I can say is that it was one of the hardest thing endure. We love so much those small little animals… Maybe too much.
And you, how have you dealt with such situation? Did you ended up getting another one at some point?
I’m sorry for your loss. When we had to put our cat to sleep, I thought I would be stoic and strong. As soon as it was final I broke down like a blubbering baby, and kept at that for a solid 20 minutes. I thought that was hard until a couple years later when we had to put our most precious little doggy down. That had me wrecked for weeks on end. I’m still not healed from that loss, and it has been six months. We occasionally talk about getting another dog, but I don’t think either of us will be ready for quite a long time.
Anyways, it does heal, but you’ll never be the same. I’m sorry for your loss.
Thank you for sharing your story and your kind words… I won’t be the same indeed, but I guess that’s part of growing up means…
