Totally and utterly fed up

I'm losing the house that I love. No way around it, just been talking to an estate agent about selling it to try to get something back. I've lived here since 1985 and my kids grew up here.

It's also looking like I'm going to have to rehome my dog. He's very energetic and loves the big garden we have now. Been looking at renting a flat but they don't allow pets and he'd hate it anyway. And they're all £600 or so a month which is going to be difficult.

Can't get any help from the mortgage company - they're pushing me towards a lifetime mortgage and I've applied for a few online but been turned down. Trying to speak to shelter but they have no advisors available at the moment.

The stress means I barely slept last night so my health condition is flaring up and I can hardly move about.

I posted yesterday for help and advice but got accused of all sorts by other posters and now the thread has been deleted so I can't even access the few helpful posts.

I'm just so absolutely gutted to be losing the only home I've had for such a long time. Genuinely keep bursting into tears and I can't look at my dog because I feel so damn guilty.

Can't help mortgage wise sorry but dog wise, have you heard of the Cinnamon Trust? They're a charity that specialise in keeping elderly or disabled people with their pets and have a fostering service that might be worth exploring if you're living somewhere temporarily that doesn't allow dogs.

Also apologies if it's been mentioned but do you have any family you could stay with temporarily? Or who could take the dog in?

Or if you sold your house and get 41k equity out (if I've read that right) could you buy a static caravan on a residential site and live there? Hell of a lot cheaper than buying a house and your bills will be low as it's a small property, plus you'd be mortgage free and able to keep your dog. Just throwing out an idea.

Handhold for you OP.
Sorry you are going through this right now, it sounds really upsetting, difficult and frustrating.
