Its been 25 days since losing my precious Duchess sad.gif & 10 days since adopting Cocoa happy.gif
Although I do not yet feel any love for my new furbaby -- she has brought me out of my intense depression. She is a very pretty 8 month old puppy so full of energy who makes me laugh because she is so cute & affectionate. She wakes me & my husband up in the morning with tails wags & wet kisses tongue.gif There are times when she is sleeping that I look at her & see a little bit of Duchess & it keeps me going. In time she will find her way into my heart & maybe this decision was a good one because I have no time to sit & cry anymore.
If someone told me that my heart would just shut down like this I would never have believed it. My love & affection for Duchess is so very intense -- so much -- that it has left me numb sad.gif

I keep looking at Cocoa when she is at play or sleeping & sometimes -- I go over to her and kiss her. I keep asking myself if I can ever allow myself to feel again. My husband tells me that in time I will unsure.gif
What an empty feeling it is when your intense ability to love is no longer present. I feel like a part of me has died along with Duchess:(
I will always love my Duchess & she will always be in our hearts wub.gif

My heart is frozen right now unsure.gif but I hope that at some point I will be able to feel again. In the meanwhile I will continue to do the best I can to treat this new baby with affection. I want her to have good puppy memories & hopefully this thought will keep my mind focused on her development.

I know what if feels like, to feel your heart frozen and wonder if it will ever thaw.

I still have eight "children" in my life... after losing Mr. Zen, it seemed like my love for my others had shrunk. Now, not even a week later, my heart has started to beat again, albeit a little more slowly than before. Soon enough, I am sure that not only will heart beat just as hard as it did when I had Zen, but have a few extra beats for all my other kids.

The more we have loved in the past, the more we're able to love in the future.

Kate
