Sudden Death Of My Little Girl Options

[JoanneL]

I am very new here as I just registered last night. I wrote a new topic post but now I can't find it on the site so I am trying again. My husband took our 2 little Schnoodles out for their morning walk on Monday and a few minutes later I got his frantic call. Our little girl had gotten off her leash, run into the street and was hit and killed by a car. We took her to the ER even though we knew she was gone. I can't remember ever being so hysterical in my life. I have cried and wailed for the last 4 days.
I am so glad I found this site last night and that all of you are out there. It is so lonely trying to go through this pain. My husband and I are not really able to talk much about it yet. I know he is replaying the scene in his head and always will. We have our little boy, her brother, and he is trying to figure out why everything has changed.
Friends have said we should think to the future about getting another dog but right now all I can think about is my Zoe and the fact that I will never hold her again or get those sweet kisses from her when I get home from work at night.

Thank you for your quick responses. I really need all the help I can get right now. The animal hospital called my husband to say that Zoe's cremains were ready to be picked up but I asked him to wait until next week.

I just can't face it today. I am on new medications for my back and neck pain and willl start PT next week. I do know that the meds for the physical pain are also helping to dull the emotional pain but the pain will come back full force.
I am not seriously thinking of another dog at this point but the vet was surprised when I told her I would "never get another dog". Only time will tell if we and Zack, our boy Schnoodle, want another doggie companion.
