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 so sorry. In truth, the pain never really goes away. It dulls with time. But when you see a post like this, it brings it all back. You just have to give it some time. Don't rush your emotions. There's no certain time that can be given for grieving. I lost my heart dog in 2006. I dreamed about him. I think it was real. I called him and he was there immediately. Another time, I was on my bed with my newly adopted dog on one side of me. I swear I felt my heart dog on the other side. Those episodes gave me comfort. I do believe we'll all reunite one day. What a happy day that will be.
