So Sad!, Loss of my friend Options

[Victoria]

Hello all
I just lost my best friend on Sunday. He was just short of his 15th birthday. He had been sick for about 2 months. I tryed everything to help but nothing did. His name was J-dog, he was a very speical dog a Jack Russell. This is the hardest thing I've had to do. I'm having a really bad day today. I have two other dogs another JRT she is almost 13, and a Lab who is 13. What a crew! Both of my other dogs are joining me in my grief. I'm worried about my Lab he too is just hanging on to life by a thread. I don't know how I will deal with back to back grief like this. The Lab is my husbands dog, J-dog was mine and my other JRT is both of ours. She is having a hard time dealing with Jays death. I try not to cry around her, but it hard because she won't let me out of her sight. I quess I need some encouragement on how to deal with her. Gosh I miss my buddie so much....

I think one of the hardest things I've had to deal with is most people only want to hear about this kind of loss only once. I feel like no one want to hear about it anymore. It is still very much in my life. I seem to be ok in the Morning but by late day I can't hold it together any longer. There is a big part of my life thats missing. Even my husband, which is still very understanding seems to be over it.
I am still learning to deal with my other dog (dinky) she is trying to fill the empty spot but she is a different dog. I too am trying to let her find her new place. This is really hard to go through. One day at a time I guess.
