A Family Of Three, How can one bear the unbearable? Options

[Daisy's Mommy]

For a long time, it was just my husband, Daisy and me. We were a little family of three with Daisy holding a very important position. It always made me sad to think that it was likely, given dog's lifespans, that she would be the first to leave our little group. I didn't really believe that it would ever happen. I thought that she would be with us forever. I know she did not want to leave, but when God calls ....

Anyway, shortly before her death, we adopted a beautiful little boy. He is a gentle baby and always smiled at Daisy. So, we are still three and people say that the baby should make up for the loss of Daisy. But, nothing can make up for Daisy. My joy in our baby, does not in any way lessen my grief for the passing of my dearest friend, my first child.

I look in his crib and I am so glad he is here. I look at the marble case containing her ashes and the pain is as great as the day she passed.

How does one deal with endless grief, a loss that is unbearable?
