Last Little Blanket, Just picked it up Options

[geese]

Tonight hit me like a ton of bricks.... It'll be 4 weeks tomorrow that my little man is gone, and it took me this long to clean up the stupid mess I left lying around since then. I had this little blanket which I laid him on, of course on top of some hefty bags, because he couldn't hold his own pee, and I just left it there since then. I couldn't bring myself to touch it, because it kind of made me feel like a part of him was still there, but an empty space, of course.

Well, needless to say, this broke my heart, and although I have been doing better (or so I thought) I just burst into tears all over again. He's really gone, ..... really gone. God, why does this hurt so much?? I know that it takes time to get over our losses, but the hurt just sucks.....

Anyway, I guess you guys all are going through, or have went through my same feelings.

Just wanted to vent, to some friends that understand. Thanks to you all who read this and are there for me. Much love to all.

Been there and done that so I can sympathize a lot with your feelings. Shakespeare knew what he was talking about when he wrote "Parting is such sweet sorrow.". It is a rollercoaster ride of emotions that ebbs and flows for weeks, months, or longer when we lose a loved one. It really does get better with time but never quickly enough.

Hugs,

Yeah, I know what you mean. I think it was the same day we got back from the vet that we gathered up all Arthurs "stuff". We put them in a bag and I went thru it later. Dave did not want any part of it. We decide to give away his 2 new scratch posts that he hated.(he loved the one falling apart). But it never happened. They are down my cellar along with his tent, 2 carry cases, dinner bowls. I cannot part with anything!. Why save? Well, just can't let go. I made a little memorial shelf in my room with his baby blanket and ball on it, photos, some ashes in a memory box with a photo album. So Geese, it's a slap in the face to see all that "stuff". Just put it out of site and when your ready, you'll find something to do with them. Hey you may get a furry friend someday. I took my neice's cat Piper, cuz she just didn't want her anymore. (Sad, but true) I gave her Arthur's window shelf, and it aches me to see it, but she's enjoying it now. I just wish she'd used the scratch post instead of my couch!...I still cry even today. Either way you look at it, having stuff around or cleaning it up and seeing an empty space, it's hard, very, very hard. Hugs to you. Ann
