Feeling Sick, Tired And Judged Options

[MylorMum]

Hi everyone,
So it has been five days since our beautiful boy Tank was hit by a car. Everyone else thinks I should be well and truly 'over' it. I am waking up sick to the stomach, having terrible dreams, can't eat or think straight. I know it's normal for me, but nobody else around me feels it's normal or acceptable.
I am putting on my normal face for the world and holding everything in until I am alone again and able to cry.
To everyone out there who feels the same - we know in our hearts we are the lucky ones. We are the ones emotionally open enough to bond so deeply with these friends that when they go, they take a huge piece of us with them.
Just wish it didn't hurt quite so much.


Sending my thoughts out to you all, we have such a strength in each other, it's what is keeping me going, that and my love for my other family members.

Hello MylorMum,

That kind of thing angers me. You should never have to get over something tragic like that so quickly if you can't. Some people just do not understand what us pet lovers understand. I am sorry for your loss and for the people that say get over it. My dog passed away two weeks ago as of today. It is not easy and I still cry every day. I went to a pet loss support group the other day and it helped me. The days get easier but my tears are still there. I know the pain that you are feeling. I went through the same thing and still do at times. I hope each day will get better for you. I just have to deal with his passing in my own time and when I am ready to dal with it. I just am not ready right now or I do not accept it. I know he is in a better place but I still hurt every minute of every day. Please feel free to talk with me if you ever need a friend. I just hope we both can get through our loss eventually. Your pet will always be with you as I know Bruno will always be with me.
