I have lost my beloved dog of 13 years. I feel so so alone. I cant describe the heartache. I knew it would be hard but im completetly shocked by how devestated i am
I cant imagine the days weeks and years ahead
I just want to try to remember her love and our time together but im just not coping. I feel constantly sick. People are kind but i just dont think they reolise just how co dependamt we were and how much i relyed on her for company comfort and companionship

@Marts64 dear marts i am so very sorry for your loss. Not everyone understands that they are our babies. I lost my sweet cara just over 3 months ago. She was a staffy cross and loved her cuddles. She was 15 years and 8months old. Her kidneys were failing and i had to make that awful decision for her. So i know how hard that is and how much it hurts. Even though we know we did what was right for them. I lost my partner 3 years and 9months ago and cara helped me keep going everyday. She slept in the bed with me. I have 2 cats so i keep going. But in all honesty life is not the sane without them . It’s still early days for you. So still very raw. I am so sorry you are going through this heartbreak. You are welcome to talk to me anytime. Just try to remember all the good times and the love you shared. Nothing can take that from you. Take care hugs x
Thankyou for responding. Its a week today. This is the firstvtime in 20 years rhat i have been alone. I lost my first dog 5 years ago and having Myrtle still my life kept things relatively normal as i still had to walk her and had her companionship. Its just so lonely without her. I know only time will take away the pain and i am starting to think of her without breaking down in tears so things are gradually improving but it feels as if I am mourning the loss of both dogs now as everthing is so drastically different.
