Mini Breakdown Options

[LynnMiller]

it has been four weeks since my dog Lucymae went to sleep. I had a mini breakdown. I just had to post it. I had no where else to go. I called a friend that talks a lot about herself for support. Of cousre she started talking about herself. Pissed me off. Why did I call an unavaible person.

I miss my Lucymae so much. She's been through so much with me. Abusive marriage, learned I had Bipolar, lost a home she was right there with me all along to the end.

We also had so much fun together. Many hikes, walks, treats, pets, love and affection, down pillows, many toys and so much more. Paid several thousands on her surgery. You name it she got it.

I hurt as I am typing this. No one seems to understand but I know you all do.

Bless you all who have lost thier bestfriend also.

Hi Lynn,

I'm so sorry to hear about your struggle. You're marking a first. Whether it's being marked by weeks and/or months and/or years, or holidays or special occasions, these firsts are so, so hard. What Ann says is true, this isn't what our pets would want for us, we're doing it to ourselves, but that's okay in a certain respect, it just goes to show how much we loved them. Just know that we've been there too, or some of us may still be, so you're not alone in what you're going through. I hope you're feeling better today and just remember, it's all about taking baby steps.

Keeping you in my prayers,

Laura
