Hi, my name is Vikki. I am new. 2 weeks ago, I lost my beloved 7 year old cavalier king charles spaniel , George to congestive heart failure . We got George for my son, Ryan when he was 10. Ryan had always wanted a dog, but my cat was afraid. When my cat died, I searched for the perfect dog and found him. George was spoiled rotten, he ate with a fork, he had severe separation anxiety and went everywhere with us. We got a kitten as well, Major Anthony Nelson and they were best friends . We took George in for his check up and he was diagnosed with a stage 3 heart murmur. He had been to the vet a month earlier . I had multiple condults, multiple meds tried. My son left for the seminary as George was diagnosed. He lasted 2 weeks and was in stage 6. The Dr. Said he was dying, he could not breathe, and we put him to sleep. I have lost many cats , this is my first dog. I believe in some ways, George was sent to my son as an angel. My son was home schooled and did not have many friends. It just seems strange he died when my son left. I miss my baby George so much. I pray he is free of pain.
Thank you for listening .

Hi, Vikki, thank you so much for sharing with us how you're doing. It doesn't matter if our grief journey is our first experience or our thousandth - - each grief journey is uniquely painful because the relationship we have with each of our companions is uniquely individual. And when we experience a loss this can "trigger" memories of previous losses which can resurrect feelings of deep sorrow that we thought we had already reconciled, and can intensify the current grief journey. So please let me try to reassure you that what you are feeling is very normal deep grief - - very painful both emotionally and physically, yes - - but still very normal. Even so it is important that you know you are not alone in your grief adjustment journey. Please know we are here for you, with you, and beside you through every step of your grief adjustment journey for as long and as often as you need us.

I hope today is treating you kindly, Vikki, and that you will have a peaceful evening blessed with your beloved George's sweet Living Spirit to comfort you. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, and please let us know how you're doing.

Peace and blessings,
