One Month Since Losing My Beautiful Boy Brutus Options

[BrutusMom]

I am new to this site as a member but I have read many of the past posts. I just needed to say that my Brutus passed away on March 16, 2018. He was my only furbaby-child as I was not able to have children of my own. He was 11.5 years old and the most handsome, black-bearded 30-lb. mini schnauzer you had ever seen. He was diagnosed diabetic and with a heart murmur 3 years ago. I believe on that fateful Friday, one of his heart valves failed as he started to show symptoms of congestive heart failure and his heart was greatly enlarged. I got him to the vets in time and they tried to revive him. He looked at me as I held his face in my hands, said goodbye, and was gone. The vet started CPR but to no avail.
I will post more in the future and add pictures of my beautiful boy Brutus but I am too upset and crying rivers to do it now. Thanks for listening

Hi, Brutus' Mom, thank you so very much for sharing with us how you're doing. So many people try to comfort a grieving heart by saying "it will get better." Now that I'm a senior citizen who has suffered more losses than what I care to count I now believe that instead of things "getting better" they just "are different." And adjusting to that "difference" is a lifetime journey. When our companions come into our hearts and homes our lives are changed for the better. When they precede us to the angels our lives are changed again as we struggle to re-invent our lives without their sweet physical presence sharing our every moment. Hopefully eventually the many wonderful memories of the years we are blessed to share with our precious angel ambassdors will once again bring a smile to our hearts as the ache that immerses our heart during the deep grief eases.

Thank you again so much for sharing your beloved Brutus with us. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, Brutus' Mom, and please let us know how you're doing.

Peace and blessings,
