I lost my beloved pet, my baby over 2 years ago.
Im finding hard to move on even after all this time.
Its never seemed this hard before but it was suddenly from an unknown illness.
She was only 8.
I want to be able to think of the happy times we had.
But for some reason i cant, i dont know why? And i dont know how to move on.
Has anyone else experienced this? And how can i let go of the guilt that i feel that i didnt do enough?

I am sorry for your loss. Pets are family members, sometimes the sweeter more reliable ones and others can forget this. I am sure you did everything you could and shouldn’t feel any guilt about it. I’m sure your pet loved you deeply and was grateful for all you did
