Isnt It Supposed To Get A Little Easier?, As time goes on? Options

[MyJack]

It's been 16 days since I lost my wonderful fur-baby, Jack. Of course, in the beginning, I was a miserable wreck and didnt do too well. I thought as some time would go on, I'd start to feel at least a *little* better.

Well, I dont. In fact, I was telling my husband last night that I feel worse every day. It's not the same intense physical pain I had when we first lost him, but it's more a constant depressed state. I've been remembering some good but also sad parts of his passing, like when I watched him take his last breath, I looked at the vet who listened with his telescope and he looked at me and nodded and confirmed Jack was gone. I canNOT get that image out of my mind the last two days.

I know it's been such a short time, but honestly I (stupidly) thought I'd be feeling a little better by now. I'm still finding his hair around the house and everytime I see some, I break down because I cant bring myself to clean it...it's like he'll really be gone forever once his hair is out of the house....am I making sense?

I'm not sure what I'm asking, or if I'm asking anything...I guess I just needed to vent a little.

Hi Dawn, I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. I put some hair of my first dog in a little baggy the night before he passed, and it still brings me comfort, as crazy as that sounds,4 years later. Hang in there . Vicki
