Am I Going Crazy?, loss of beloved dog Options

[Fiona]

Am I going off my head? My darling wee hairy dog, Sgith died a week ago today after being hit by a car - and I wasn't there. He was with my mum, who's blaming herself no matter that I say dogs will be dogs and run across the road. Sgith was my faithful companion into whose fur I cried many times - he was my fourth baby - I have 3 children who are all also totally devastated. Sgith was a little dog with a huge personality and could never be 'just a dog' as someone said to me yesterday. He spoke to us, understood every word said to him and was spoiled rotten. Now I catch myself pretending hes sitting on the bed with me, speaking to him, trying hard to imagine hes there with me. I cant believe hes not here - can i turn the clock back - when do the tears stop? I cant stand the emptiness in the house - every advert on TV has dogs in it.

Please someone tell me it will get easier.

Hello everyone, I've come back for a wee chat. Have been thinking about everyone over the past few weeks and wondering how everyone is getting on. For some reason, I've been having avery hard time the last couple fo months - still thinking of wee Sgith every day and found it very hard to get over Christmas without his inquisitevness with theparcels under the tree and getting under my feet , when carving the turkey! I missed him more than I ever thought I would and still have a wee tear for him most days - some worse than opthers. Its like its all become fresh again for some reason.
Alos we've started to think about moving house t- 2 new dogs need more space - and the one thing thats really making us think twice aout it is the fact taht we'd have to leave my wee buddy behind. I never thought at the time, that we mightbe faced with this, we just wanted him beside us still - I wish we'd had him cremated then we wouldn'tbe faced with this. Has anybody else been faced with this and if so, how did you cope with it?
I love my 2 new doggies but I still miss my wee pal so much
