So hard...
I'm leaving tomorrow for Thanksgiving, so I had to take my 2 little ones
(dogs) to the vets/kennel. All I had to see was the room that we had Happy in and I burst out crying. I sat there for 20 or so minutes in my car afterwards just sobbing. I just can't seem to 'let go' of this grief. I ended up calling my pet sitter (she does cat duty when I'm gone). She helped a lot with her kind words, but still... it is so hard and I just can't get past it. The *only* good thing about what happened was the timing. B/c if Happy was still alive, he'd be very sick, so I wouldn't leave him alone, which means I wouldn't be able to see my father. Just a little venting here for my heart's sake.... ·.·´¨ ¨)) -:¦:- ¸.·´ .·´¨¨)) Laurie ((¸¸.·´ ..·´ -:¦:- ((¸¸ ·.· *~*LiveLoveLaugh*~* All that I am or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother. ~Abraham Lincoln |

It's been over a year since I lost Nanki-Poo, and I still cry over him - not as long, or as often as I did at first, but the pain is still there. Lee is right about there being no timetable on grief.

I was a complete wreck for a year after my dog Sampson died. That was in 1999 and I still get misty sometimes when I see old photos of him or am reminded of funny little things he used to do. Give yourself (and your grief) time. Jill |
