My dog died and i feel so depressed!?
My dog died 2 days ago. He was a gray small poodle and i loved him so so so much. He was my best friend. I did everything together with him. I ate next to him, played with him, walked with him, he even slept on my pillow every night. Whenever i was sad he would curl up next to me and make me feel better. I only had him for 3 and a half years and he was the best. But...2 days ago...he ran outside. And when me and my mom tried to get him...he was hit. I cried so much. And my mom was sad but not that sad. My father however was devastated. He doesnt even live with us. I tried getting over this but i feel like a chunk of my heart has been ripped out. I wake up and see hes not by my side and cry. My dad seems like the only one who cares. Hes the kind of guy who never cries and when i saw tears, i fell apart. Right now as im writing this im crying. Hes only been dead 2 days and i cant eat, sleep, or do anything. Somehow i feel like its my fault...but it wasnt. And the thought of it makes me cry even more. I miss him so much. I dont want anymore pets. And right now im angry...because i do know whose fault it was...my moms. I told my mom to help me grab him but she didnt. She didnt see the truck coming, and now hes dead. And also thats why i feel like its also my fault. I tried, i tried to grab him! And only if my mom would help...he'd still be alive. Also, before he died i was already depressed. Before summer vaca started i was bullied alot and i wasnt doing very good in school but the point is that this just adds on the the sadness. I love him to death and i feel like i cant even breath anymore. Please someone...i just need some advice on what to do! Im sorry this was long :(
My dog is being put down I'm sad help?
You spend the last days enjoying as much time with you dog as you can. At first it will be really hard but Do NOT feel guilty, you have not killed your dog, you have not given the dog a death sentence. You agreeing for his/her life to be ended peacefully will probably be one of if not the greatest rewards you can give the dog, a big "Thankyou" for all the pleasure they have given you I lost my two childhood dogs, one very suddenly and tragically, the other had to be put to sleep.Trust me, the latter is much better than the former.
I just lost my dog and need some advice.?
I've grown really attached to her, I loved her to death. She died because she escaped and apparently got hit by a car by someone. I felt so sad I cried carrying her in my arms dead, carrying her to my backyard, digging her a hole. Setting her in the hole. Trying to force to close her eyes because I didn't want to see them open while I put the dirt over her. I just need help. I have 2 other dogs but I just feel like something is missing still. Because they all have their own personalities. She was my angel. Everything reminds me of her, I'd wake up she'll be at my feet or rub her face in mine. I give my dogs treats I grab 3 but now I only grab 2. I call for all the dogs I call her name usually first because she usually was the best listener whenever you called upon her name she would come to you no matter what. I just can't get over that she's gone. I look at her grave and just wish time would just rewind so I can help prevent this tragedy. Some might think it's just a dog. But I feel like I lost a piece of me. I'm just venting but I miss my baby so much. I can't stop thinking about her. When I look at my other dogs I just think of her, wishing she was still here enjoying life with us still. Any advice on losing a dog or a loved one?
Does losing a dog feel like losing a family member?
My brother's dog, Coco, was put down less than an hour ago. She had eaten some plastic and other sharp objects that resulted in some pieces getting caught in the walls of her intestine (I think....I really can't ask my brother what exactly happened because he's having a rough time and if I see him crying, I'll cry.). Coco (the dog) had surgery this past week and they had to pay 2500. She seemed fine when she was home, but I found out not too long ago that her stomach was bleeding last night so my brother and his girlfriend took her to the vet. This morning the vet performed an additional surgery, but she said there were now multiple holes and cuts in the walls that Coco would not make it much longer. I mean, she said she could continue doing surgery, but the dog would be in surgery practically every week. So, they chose to put her down so that way she wouldn't have to suffer anymore. His girlfriend didn't want to see Coco, so it was my brother, my parents, younger sister, and me. When they put the serum in her, it was like my brother's whole world had dropped. I've never seen him hurt so bad. And I'm really bad about being around crying people. I hate to see people in pain, and I end up crying too. Hell, I didn't really spend that much time with Coco, but I'm crying right now thinking of how sad they are. Although, our mom had just last month had brain surgery to remove a tumor, so maybe it's just that we are very emotional when there is any mention of death. I love my mom so much, and I'm so sad about Coco that I can't even begin to imagine how devastated I'd be if anything else were to happen to my mom. So, is losing a pet like losing a loved one? I have a dog too, but now it's more of the family dog....and I've never really been close to her. I just never realized how sad my brother would be.
My dog died this morning and I am so sad?
I'm so sorry for your loss :( When we lost a dog I would allow my kids to stay home. We would hold a service and burial. You must listen to your Mom. You could tell her how difficult it will be at school today and ask for permission to stay home. If you do go to school, tell your teachers and guidance counselor what has happened. They can help you get thru this day. People are mean sometimes, even adults. Shake that off. Surely one friend at school will understand and be supportive. Losing a pet is losing a family member. You will miss him, maybe forever. You will think of him and this will likely bring tears to your eyes. If your teachers and counselor know this, they can help you cope. Again, so sorry for your loss. He no longer has to suffer and is in a much better place now. He feels no pain, he is happy and will always be with you. You will see him again when it is time. You are very fortunate to have had him in your life. He was very lucky to have you and your family. Hang in there, it will get easier. Feel blessed for having him in your life.
My dog just died and I feel depressed?
Cry as much as you need to, it's all part of the grieving process. Your dog was a big part of your life and, it will take some getting used to her not being around. I have been through this many times myself and I know how heartbreaking it is but, through the heartache try and remember all the happy times you shared together. I hope this poem helps. As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played, I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade. I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity. I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide! And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be! My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do. I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night. 'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold. For although we may not be together in the way we used to be, We are still connected by a cord no eye can see. So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart. By Cate Guyan © 1995 Used with permission
How do I deal with the loss of my dog that I had for 14 years? I've been so depressed since I lost her 3 days ago. Its the first time I cried in forever. She wasn't just a dog to me.
Hi there,I can truly understand how are you feeling now. I’m sorry to hear that. I’m going to tell my personal story how I dealt with the loss of my beloved dog who also passed away on the 21st of July 2017.My dog, Wawa (her name) was 14 years old and she lost one of her eyesight and she developed dementia. Seeing her like that’s broke my heart yet I never allowed myself to show her my sadness in front of her. Instead I talked to her all the time.On the 20th of July 2017, I had to go to Singapore for my health reason and I heard news that Wawa wasn’t responding to the medication and her condition got worse. So, I booked the next flight the next day early in the morning to go to Indonesia.The trip from Singapore to Indonesia by flight and then the trip from the airport in Indonesia to home was torturing. I had to see Wawa, I was overwhelmed with anxiety. And when I finally got home, there she was, still alive, smiled at time as if she had been waiting for me.Then 6 minutes later, she developed epileptic symptoms. I prepared two hot water bottles to warm her body and covered her body with blanket while kept on talking to her and calming her for the next half an hour.In the end, my right hand was holding a phone talking to a vet on advices while my left hand kept on petting her body.Then Wawa reached out her arm to my hand, I held it. And then She stopped breathing. Over the phone, with The vet talking to me, I cried out Wawa’s name in despair. I even tried to give her CPR into her mouth. The feeling of grief and loss, I broke down.I couldn’t sleep at all the night before in Singapore and on the same day, I cremated her and saw something that looked like her “soul” flew to the sky. I kept her remains in a jar where I put stickers of her on it and it’s in my bedroom and I still kiss the jar everyday to this day.That day, it was Friday and I told myself that I would allow myself to mourn for the weekend until the following Monday. I quit smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol that period but allowed myself to do all of them during that weekend.When the mourning period was over, I wrote a letter to her thanking her for the love and memories I received from her.I’m glad to this day, she waited for me and she allowed me to tell her how much I really loved her.This is Wawa anyway,So, allow yourself to mourn properly and take your time. Your beloved dog deserved every expression of love from you.I don’t know you, but I’m so proud that you really love your dog.
We think our dog is sad because our other dog died. We are sad, too, for losing one of our best friends. How can we make our living dog feel better?
It’s going to take time, and compassion.For about eleven years, we had two dogs who were great companions to each other. Bingo and Cody did everything together, from walks to chasing cats to meals to baths; everything. Then late last year, Cody suddenly came up lame, and was in pain in both of his front legs. We took Cody to the vet, and discovered not only that Cody had cancer, it had spread to his chest.Bingo went through a period where she was very depressed. Not only had she done everything with her companion for more than 75 dog years, she had always believed I would be able to take care of whatever happened. Now Cody was gone, the whole family was upset and sad, and nothing made sense.After a couple weeks, Bingo seemed to be back to normal. She enjoyed the attention, and as a Collie she always gets lots of attention from neighbors and their kids. But the kids, used to seeing me walk both dogs, the elegant Collie (Bingo) and the big and scruffy but lovable Black Lab (Cody), naturally asked where Cody was, and I’d have to explain. Whenever she heard Cody’s name, Bingo would look around as if Cody should be there, and she would often be depressed for a little time after that.Grief is part of the process, and even months later I am still sad about losing Cody. I suspect that Bingo is, as well. You don’t lose family and treat it as nothing. But you take care of your family too, and that means making sure the family you still have gets lots of affection and care.I am very sorry for your loss. Please remember that your sadness is proof that your love is real.
