George Options

[my George]

Here I am 7 months after my dog son George passed tragically. I still cannot bring myself to write about his final days.....too painful....overwhelming guilt. I have been reading others' stories almost everyday to numb this pain. I am still in the same place as the day he went. Time does not heal. Reading posts here gives me some measure of comfort I can't get anywhere else.

Moon_Beam, Gretta's & Rufus's mum, Raccoonkisses, Thank you all. I wouldn't be here today without you.

Deepest gratitude,

George's mum

I'm sorry about your baby. I've started reading everything I can find about grief, getting back to life, getting over the loss of a pet, getting over the loss of a child (because those advices can be applied to our cases, to some pets are our kids). This is how I feel toward people who lost their cats/dogs. It's like losing a child. I have very strong feeling to my cats. I used to not be able to go to bed until both of my cats get back home from being outside. They knew that night time is the time to go home, because mommy won't go to bed. I'd knock on their plates and they run right in. Then I had to feed them their favorite wet food of course. I was very happy to see them together. They had the same schedule, I mean they slept, eat, play, do everything together. Now it's just my other cat, Kitos. He is laying by the window all day long! I come over ask him if he is ok, he start purring. I know he misses his brother to.
Having another cat is not really helping to get over my baby Miles. Miles is just so different. Every time I try to pick up Kitos and put him on my chest he freaks out, he is just not like Miles, he is not him, never will replace him. But his brother does make me smile sometimes, because the way he plays with his toy.
Just know that your baby George is in a better place. He left the Earth with a tragical death, but it's over, he is fine right now, he is at peace, he is home! Earth is not our home, we're more like guests here, only for a short period of time. When our soul disconnect from our physical body, we go home where we get together with everyone (humans and non-humans) we loved on Earth.
Just think what would George want to say to you right now if he could. He would want you to take care of yourself, live your life, remember him, think about him with the joy and think only about good memories. He wouldn't want you to be suffering, because he is not suffering, he is happy and free now.
