It's 3 Weeks Now, Indy my boy, my grief runs deep Options

[IndysMom]

Well, tomorrow is 3 weeks since I lost my little man. I dread going to bed tonight because when I wake up
I know I need to cope with the fact that he's been gone for 3 very long weeks.
I still cry every day, but everyone at LS has been so kind. I don't know what I would do
without you my new friends.

I see shadows and think it's Indy. I still watch the clock and rush home from work thinking I need
to take my boy out for his walk. I wake during the night and listen for the sound of his
breathing and hear nothing. The loss is deep and my emotions are raw.

I finally opened the boxed where I have a precious lock of his hair.
It is silky and soft and when I close my eyes and brush it against my cheek I feel him.
It has his scent.

Indy, I miss you so very much.


Indy loved to sleep in bed and be wrapped in blankets. He did not like waking to the camera and flash!

What a Love she is. I could not look at Moose's pic's for so long, I have taken his bear out of the cedar chest once, I could still smell him on it and I closed my eyes, it was to hard to do that. I cried every day as I learned to accept it...every day for weeks upon weeks. I still cry but some things I really try to push to the back of my mind so I can keep that pain there. But there was no way I could even attempt to do that for several weeks. It has to work itself through, with alot of tears. Three weeks has not been very long. Let the tears flow. Pamela

I know how painful it is to come home or to think they are there when you see a shadow. I just love that picture of your little boy Indy. My Snookie always slept in bed with me too. Yesterday it was 3 weeks without her for me and it just hurts so much. Sometimes I still wake up thinking I have to hurry and get dressed to take her out. How I hate this life without my sweet girl.

Dear Indy's Mom

The picture of your little boy is so beautiful. He has such a dear cute little face, it would melt a heart of stone.

I was not able to post for a few weeks because of major family problems and upsets so I missed your original posting. But when I read your post I did just want to reply and say that you have a really special and beautiful little boy there and it must leave such a big hole. My heart goes out to you in your lose of your dear Indy.

I know the feeling only too well of waking and looking for them and just seeing an empty space on the bed. I still see shadows everywhere. It's heartbreaking.

Bless you and dear Indy

with love
jilly

All of us here at LS fully understand what you are currently feeling. You are still in the early stage of the grief process and what you are feeling is perfectly normal. Your Indy was a huge part of you life and losing him has left a huge hole in your heart....it will take quite some time to heal. But things will slowly get better....you won't always feel the knife-like pain that feels like it's ripping your heart out.

Your Indy was a handsome little fellow....thanks for posting the pic of him all covered up in the bed....he looks really comfortable and you can tell he knows how much he is loved. I'm glad the two of you shared such a special bond....he will live in your heart always.

I very sorry for your loss. Please keep us posted of how you are doing. You will always find people here who will listen and give good advice when you need it.

Take care,
__Jim

Indy looks so comfy and cozy wrapped in those blankets. I know this must be such a hard time for you. Three weeks is not long, and you are still freshly grieving your baby's loss. The three month mark will probably be easier, but maybe not, and that is okay. I am so sorry for your loss and my thoughts are with you right now. Hang in there ...Caroline

Dear LS family,
You are all so wonderful.
I don't know what I would do without your support.
Thank you, thank you for being here.
Love, Fran

I just want to say how sorry I am for your loss. It is 2 weeks today since my baby Cinnamon passed. It's been a very long hard day. Finding people at LC has been helping it's nice to know people understand. Take care of yourself. Patty

I know how much you miss your boy. They become such a part of our lives, they become part of our families. People who've never had pets will never understand what we feel when our babies are sick or hurt or gone. Since Romeo died I've had numerous dreams where I've lost my remaining pets. One where Juliet, my surviving cat, was hit by a car. She was fine but I remember the panic I felt in my dream. And yesterday I dreamed I lost Elvis my pug and Juliet. I mean physically lost them. The panic , again, was so real. By the end of my dream someone had found Elvis for me but no one found Juliet. I am so afraid of losing another animal but I know it is inevetible.

Indy was a real cutie. He looks really annoyed at you for taking his picture during snooze time I'm sure he let you know when he wanted something and I have no doubt you spoiled him rotten, as all our little babies should be. Hang in there and my thoughts are with you.
