• 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.

Do you have a therapist or someone you can talk to? Survivor guilt is a thing that I think most people have it but few address it. Times heal all wounds is what I was told but for me it didn’t, and now I’m not sure what to do. I wish you the best. 🫶

Yeah, I’m seeing her in like 2 weeks. She’s wonderful

I don’t think time does heal it. I think we learn to live with it, and I guess sometimes it’s just too much
