| Re: How do you Mourn?
I want to say thank you. Thank you for this thread. We just had to put our boy down on Wed. It is still so terriably difficult, and raw. It helps to know that there are so many other that realize they are not dogs, they are family members and it's like loosing a child to me. I tried to post his sotry a few time but just can't get through it. I eventually will.
For me, it has been a lot of crying. I am trying to remember him as he was in good health. All the fun times we had with him, and all the silly things he did. I think that time will heal, but I will miss him for as long as I live. He was the first dog I had out on my own and he was my child. It seems to be very difficult for me in the morning when I don't have to get him up and love on him, and in the evening when I get home from work and he's not waiting with his wiggle butt going for me. I find that talking about him and telling his story makes me feel better and reassures me that we made the right decision. I still talk to him quitely at home when I am alone. I know that he is with me and I know that he can hear me.  |
