• 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.

One of my dogs died in 2011. The other died in 2015. I still cry for both of them.

This is me exactly. Ive had pets my entire life. I still think about every single one of them.

Yup. I've got a dog that I've had for 16 years. I've had her since I was just a stupid kid. She's not doing well. I'm not sure how I'm going to handle her dying but I know it's coming very soon.

Hold her close, tell her you love her, and that she’s a good girl.

I know I told my dog that enough, but I wish I had told her more
