I have to admit, I spend most of my time trying not to think about Rusty, sometimes it seems almost easy and other times the waves of pain come back. Yesterday I was showing my husband some pictures of our daughter (she was also in the room) and I had forgotten that Rusty was with her on the couch in the pictures. She was immediately devastated (she's 4) and so was I. All day today she has been sad about him as well. She remembers the way he cried after my husband brought him in after he was hit and just before he died. She talks about how he was hurt and it just breaks my heart. I am crying too much to type any more at this time, thank you all so much for letting me continue to share...

It's two weeks tommorow when I lost my baby. I must admit I've cried at least once every day, some of those days I've cried all day long.
A couple of days ago I felt as though the worst was over, the aching was not so bad as it has been but yesterday while out driving and passing a favourite place of hers, I just broke down and felt as bad as ever. I know how you feel with the photos I can't yet look at ours without breaking down. I guess it's going to take quite a time before emotionally life can return to somewhat normal again.

I want to say thank you for sharing your difficult memories and your current pain. I lost my dog 1 1/2 weeks ago in a similar manner as you lost Rusty. I feel very much the same way that you do, feeling OK and crying all day. I had a nice day today, went to a movie and enjoyed it, came out and felt immediately sad. Things have gotten different, not better or worse, I will never forget Suzie and I will probably never really not feel responsible for her loss.
