I lost my dog, my best friend

Losing a pet
1

I lost my lovely 13 year old dog on Friday. She was like my other child. My first child! She was honestly my best friend. :cry:
She got me through when I lost my dad 10 years ago. She got me through my break up of my relationship that was 11 years! She has been my rock. Without her i really don’t know how to cope or carry on :broken_heart::pensive:

@Samantha851 i am so sorry to hear of your loss, it is so hard to lose our pets, i lost my whippet who was also 13, 3 months ago, then lost my husband 5 weeks ago, i try to take comfort they are together now. It sounds like your dog brought you great support so will feel difficult for you. Sending you strength and hope you can recall happy memories with your dog in time and take comfort you looked after your dog well to get her into her teenage years x

Hi Samantha, I know it’s been a while since you posted this, I hope you’re ok.

I used to go on this after losing my mum two years ago. I’ve come back on because I’ve just lost my beloved doggy of 15 years who was and is my entire heart and soul. She has been there for me through everything, my entire adult life, getting a car, buying houses, getting married, and losing my mum, she was there for me through it all. I don’t know how to go on in life without her. She is both my and my husband’s world, our baby. My ultimate comfort, it’s the only way I navigated through my mum’s loss because I had her there for me and I know she needed me. My heart and soul is gone and I honestly don’t know how I’m supposed to live and go on without her, I don’t know what life is without her by my side, we adapted our whole life to suit and care for her.

So you’re not alone in your grief. I hope now a few months have passed for you, you have managed to find some calmer, less painful days.
