Today's The First Day I Haven't Cried, Since my pet dog Bruno died I regularly cried from 5 to 14 January Options

Hi Guys

I can't remember the last time I really cried...probably when my mum died back in 2000. My dog Bruno got ill last November 25 2010 and my dad and I tried everything possible to get him better. We saw lots of vets and made Bruno as comfortable as possible.

I must admit that while Bruno was ill it caused me to sink into a deep depression which obliterated any happiness over the Christmas and New Year period.

I now feel the 'black cloud' I've been suffering is at last drifting way from my mind. Today's the first day I haven't full-on cried (I certainly have had tears in my eyes on several occasions when I get a happy flashback of Bruno) so I'm hoping that my no longer crying is a sign that I will now be able to bounce back from my sadness and get on with my life again?

I made this video tribute for Bruno if you would like to see it. From approx 3 mins in there is some nice HD footage I took of Bruno and my dad on a beach one Christmas Day a few years ago.

Take care

Peter

Hi Peter,

I hope you are doing well. I love those tips you posted. I think they are all very helpful. I don't know if you saw what I wrote in my thread about your video tribute, but I wanted to tell you how sweet and touching it is. Bruno was such a handsome boy. I'm also very sorry for your loss of your mom, but I'm glad you have found these things that help you deal with your grief. I hope you are having a peaceful week and you are in my thoughts.

Much love.
