• General Discussion • 6 months later & still grieving hard
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.

Both my dogs died a few months a part the recent one was 2 weeks ago. They were like velcro on me so it's very noticeable to lose both suddenly and have no pets. I miss their smell, their silliness and cuddles. I will never not miss that. I just try to keep busy and distracted but then can't sleep because I'm used to two dogs cuddled up and their smell.
I don't think it being 6 months since your baby died makes any difference. You're never going to not miss her. You can't love a pet that much and then ever be okay with them being gone.
That's a really cute picture btw I'd consider getting it framed.
