Hi everyone.
Today I've really been having a hard time...missing my boy, Jordan, crying, and really feeling the loss. I came home and was just really sad. When I spoke to my husband and told him about how sad I was feeling today he hugged me for a minute and asked what we were having for dinner. Don't get me wrong, my husband is wonderful and extremely loving, but I needed more than that. When I told him about that, he said, "What do you want me to say?" I told him that I needed to know that he still misses him a lot, too. He said, "Sure I miss him but its been a long time." I nearly jumped out of my skin... Then I looked at the calendar and realized that it has been four months to the day that he died. Today it was so raw again...I felt like I was actually realizing that I wouldn't be able to run my hands over his beautiful head or kiss in between his brown eyes, or rub his silky ears. That is all I want to do. So, my friends, I am feeling a bit alone tonight. Its a sad anniversary of sorts...four months. It feels like forever. I miss you, Jordan.
Love,
Jordan's mom

hi,

this is a very common issue with pet loss. you either experience great loss over an animal or you dont, there
are people on both sides. remember people grieve in different ways and for different lengths of time. as
with any loss, animal or human, if the grief gets to be unbearable or lasts for a time YOU feel is too long,
it is best to seek professional counsel (not saying that you are that point). hang in there, turn to those
who understand how you feel (here, for example) and get the support you need where you can find it.
