Lost a beloved pet today
A member of our family for over 15 years. Lost in a truly freak accident. I have a family member that is blaming themselves for what happened, which is just as hard to see. It wasn't anybody's fault - it just happened.
I'm not good with grief. I just needed to write out my feelings somewhere. Thanks for listening. |

I'm not any good with grief, either. Lost my beloved 3.5 year old boxer last week. You know they say that everybody grieves in their own time. That's true. I don't know how long this will hurt but it will get a little better over time. Hope you don't have to deal with that too long. Godspeed, my brother.

Hate losing dogs. Never an easy thing. I hope you feel better.
On another note my 12 year old son was about to charter the boat that burned down off the Santa Barbara coast this weekend killing all passengers by being burned to death then drowning. Makes you think.

I know exactly how you feel. And that will hang on for a bit. But, hopefully, you will realize it is still worth it.

What gblowfish said. We focus on all that was gained, and accept that everything has a season. I'm sure what you witnessed makes this even more difficult. My dad died when I was 5. I met an old man today who was born in the same month and year he was, and also served in Korea. We chatted for a long while, and I thought about what might have been. It all came back for a bit, but I've grown to accept what is. May time bring its peace and acceptance. |

I feel your pain.
My Rhetta is reaching the end. She's about 14 with declining health, especially over the last few months her health has taken a nose dive. It's becoming time to pull the plug, I just don't have the heart for it yet.

My parents had 4 cats, 3 of them died in really close together, they were not young cats though all living to be roughly 12-14 years old, the other one is still alive and pushing 20 now.
They swore they'd never get another one because of how upset they were, they now have 3 young cats to go a long with the old lady. |
