Missing Lexa Options

[Axel&Lexa Mommy]

Tomorrow will be a week since we lost our beloved Lexa. I am so lost without her. I just can't beleive she is gone, I keep thinking this isn't real.


We only had Lexa for 6 years it was to soon to lose her, my life will never be the same.

Hi Michelle--

I am so sorry that you are having such a hard day. It's kind of like rolling with the waves in the ocean, this grieving process, isn't it? Up on minute and down the next. Do know that eventually you will be washed in to "shore," where there won't be so much pain anymore, and the memories will be mostly good ones.

It's totally fine not to move any of Lexa's things, unless or until you are ready. For you, they probably feel like having a part of her still with you, and if they bring you some comfort, then that's a good thing. I have the collars of both of my dogs past hanging right from the lamp by my bed, so I see them all the time. They are very important to me. It IS very final to move or discard a pet's "belongings;" that's why we each need to do it in our own time.

I hope the sea sets you down more gently. Remember to breathe!

Big hugs from Margi, Spiritwolf, and Leopold the Strange
