All Alone Today Options

[radgirl]

My daughter is in school today and today would have been a "Mama and Magic" day. IT's beautiful out and it has just made me so sad. I am so angry with the babysitter, she did not help look for her, lied about when she let out, and let us look in sheds for two days before finally admitting she left her out all night.She seems more concerned we will bad mouth her in the neighborhood, yet acts liek everything is back to normal........

Today is just such a lonely day.........sitting here by myself. I can't wait until we leave on our trip---I think a change of scenery is the only way to completely get my mind off things. We made it out several playdates recently, and I've been fine of those days....but today was just a huge step back.

why does society make you feel like you should forget about a pet in two days?? I feel like a failure for feeling this way.......

Oh radgirl,

Forget about what society says? When have they been right? if you are truuly loved by a fur baby, and truly loved that fur baby, you WILL feel crushed by his or her departure from this life. I "lost" my beautiful 12 year old chocolate lab Gretta on 10 April.) Are we expected to "get over it" in two days when we lose a human friend? Or even when we have, say, a house fire? Or a car accident - even a fender-bender? And that's all STUFF! No, you are definitely NOT a failure. You are a tremendous success. You grieve now becasue you loved so much. Please don't take on goofy attitudes from "them." Starting with the ever so irresponsible baby-sitter. Hope she took better care of and paid more attention to you DAUGHTER!

You are yourself and your furbaby was herself. And you two shared a love that no one else can know. The emptiness, the longing, the just plain grief - missing them, wanting them back - is real. People who understand that - like the people on this site - know what it's like because we're all going through it. Let's lift each other up, share a little warmth and support when it's needed and keep our minds on the fact, yes fact, that our babies have only left us in body. As my wonderful vet said, "She's in a safe place now." And forget about being embarrassed for crying. Just typing my vet's words have made me cry.

we WILL make it and we WILL be reunited some day in that safe place. Take care, Rad Girl. We're with you all the way.
