How to cope with death

[M.A.C*Attack]

damn all your stories brought tears to my eyes ,I lost my chihuahua lucky about 1 yr ago ( he was killed or should i say mualled to death by a pit bull and he was in our yard and just went out to relive him self ) anyways it was the saddest day becuase i had just bought his to be wife a week earlier they were both white tiny chihuahuas well needless to say im still heart broken but i still have my precious girl( his widow) and she will remain single and next to me from now on and when she goes somewhere im right behind her!

keep an eye on ur babies cuz u never know what could happen our fence is 6 feet tall and that dog still got to my baby!

I'm sorry

You know, I had a nightmare about my dog passing away the other night, it was awful...My dog is a Chow-sharpei mix coming on about 16 years and when it was a puppy(before we owned her), her pelvis and back left leg were run over by a car...The man that owned her spent close to 5,000 dollars to get her pelvis and leg pinned back into shape so that she could live...She was then adopted by us because he was moving. Since then, shes had ulcers in both eyes, one eye has had to come out and she has horrible arthritis. She still plays like a puppy and is sweeter than sugar...

But I'm going to cry when shes gone....

I'm sorry for your loss

I grow very attached to animals and peoplel...when my two dogs died last year, I cried like a baby. I cried more for my shepherd, Rufus, because I wasn't able to stay with him when he was put to sleep. With my other dog, Bee, I stayed with her, and held her until she passed. I think that made it a little easier to deal with. Heck, I even missed work days because my dogs died...

As for people, I haven't had many losses in my life (knock on wood), but I know how I am, and when someone close to me dies, I think I will be a wreck. I recognize this as part of my personality.

People deal with loss differently, but one thing holds true: healing takes time....no matter how much you need, take it...hugs to you...

I'm sorry for your loss.

honestly, i have lost a best friend. and i've lost beloved pets. and for me, the grief process was the same. it's still the loss of a much loved soul. yes, losing my kitty wasn't the same as losing matt, but the pain and grief felt the same. pain is pain, regardless.

so don't let anyone trivialize your pain. it takes time, it takes support, and we're here.
