Pepsi, Rest in peace my perfect angel. Options

[chris64]

Just over a week ago I lost the love of my life, my precious little dog, Pepsi. For a few days I could barely form a sentence when talking to people. Today, i'm not much better. I really don't know if writing down my thoughts for you will help me but i'm desperate and badly in need of some outlet for my grief. I know my partner is suffering as well and we're trying to be strong for each other but I just need to release my demons to some strangers who have the heartbreaking misfortune of knowing just how I feel.
I won't go into detail just yet of how she passed away but if anyone wants to know, or thinks that it might help me, then i'll tell the story. All I can say at this stage is that i'm in so much pain and the agony of losing her is crippling. The world is a much sadder place without her in it and life will never be the same again. I'm so sorry if i've upset anyone, I just need to share this with others.
Thank you for reading.

Hi Chris,

I think it would be very helpful for you to tell us about Pepsi and how she passed away, I know it has helped me talk about my 3 three losses on this website. We all know how you are feeling and would love to help you thru your grief.

I think you explained it perfectly when you said the loss is crippling. It is so crippling and you don't know how you are going to make it thru another day but somehow you do. And then after time the intense grief goes away and the good memories are what you think about. I have come to the conclusion that I will never "get over" the loss of my animals but I do and will move on and in some ways become an even more compassionate person because of the love I shared with them and the grief I went thru in losing them. You are right that life will never be the same again, but things will get better, I know this because I have lost three dogs in the last year and a half. Tomorrow will be week three that Barney died and I still have a lot of grieving to do but I know it will get better, I will always love him with all my heart and never forget him but somehow we continue on.

I will pray that you and your partner will find peace soon.

I hope you tell us all about Pepsi because that is a key component to healing after such a devastating loss.

Love and hugs,
