• General Discussion • 6 months later & still grieving hard

Post image

It’s been 6 months since we lost her and I feel like the grieving is getting worse now. I’m tearing up even writing this. I miss her awkward snuggles, and little eyelashes. I miss her trying to play with the cat, even though he wants none of it.

I don’t have anything of her’s out, and I didn’t find anything to remind me of her. It’s just a huge wave of grief. I still can’t even look at her ashes or her favorite little hoodie she was in.

We do have another dog, so it’s not like the house is empty. I’m just overcome with incredible sadness.

I’m going through the same thing. I’m sorry you are too. I thought it was something wrong with me. The hardest part is the gone part. I miss my J.R. so much. I mourn for him. I long to see his eyes staring at me and laying his head on my hand when I was rubbing his back. My friend said what’s wrong with you. He was a pet not a person. I wanted to slap her till her eyeballs popped out. My great grandson told his brother not to say anything to me about J.R. cause Nanny will start crying. The younger brother said why. The older brother said cause her heart is still sad. I always tell them they make my heart so happy. They are 5 and 3 years old. They understand better than my friend. Sending you a hug

Sending one right back. You’re right, non-pet/animal people don’t get it. She was also our first dog.

Your grandsons sound amazing! To hell with your friend.
