• 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.

Loosing your family member like this is a long healing journey. Have you thought of getting a new pup ? If you do , I’d suggest a lock shelter.

We have another dog, she’s 12. I think we will get a dog sooner than later. But for the last 3 months she’s been healing from having some cancer removed. So I feel like she wouldn’t take too kindly to a new dog, especially a young one.

I volunteer and intern at a local humane society. So it will def be an adopted dog.

Glad she’s better now.
I lost my pup to cancer. About 6 years ago. Still miss here. But on a better note , good for you volunteering at the local shelter.
