No real point to this - just miss my girl so much

[Rosebud1302]

As the title says. I just wanted to post really. Get it out I guess? I lost my beloved girl 4 weeks ago tomorrow. The pain of losing her is indescribable. I miss her so much it physically hurts. I can't process never seeing her again. Never having a cuddle. Going for our favourite walks. Hearing her little paws on the floor. Seeing her beautiful self greeting me at the door when I come home. It is heartbreaking. I can get through the days as I am distracted by my son, work, life etc but nighttime is horrible. I am so so utterly exhausted. My whole body hurts with tiredness and I feel unwell with it. I just want her back but I know it can't happen.

How does anyone recover from this sort of pain :(. I know not everyone will understand but I'm hoping me posting on a dog page will mean some people can resonate with some of what I'm saying.

I miss her so so much :(

It's awful. It really is so don't beat yourself up about it.

Grieve her, remember her and don't fight the hurt. The pain does lessen but there's nothing you can do to get there quicker.

I promise that there will come a time when your memories of her will bring a smile, sometimes poignant, sometimes bitter sweet but the love remains for years to come.

They're special and they take a little bit of you when they go .

I understand, I lost my boy 6 months ago next week. It feels like he's been gone forever, I miss the noises he made, his smiley face when we went for a walk and just the way he looked at me with so much love and trust. I still sit and cry now and people look at me like I'm nuts if I say I'm still grieving for him. I have another dog that cannot ever replace my boy but has helped ease the pain and because new DDOG is so different that helps

Oh OP I know... it's so sad and horrible. I'm 5 months without my girlie and I still have tearful moments. I loved her so much.

They never leave you. You have your memories, cherish them. Be gentle with yourself, have a hug from us 🤗

Thank you for your kind messages. I am sorry to people going through the same. It really is the worst. I can't contemplate having another dog. I just couldn't do this again I think it would finish me off. I wish I could, maybe one day. But I don't think so. I miss having furry cuddles for sure especially once my son is in bed and the house is quiet.

I completely understand. We lost our beloved girl 17 months ago and I still miss her and cry. It's the worst pain. I think it helped to know that I was not alone. Allow yourself to grieve and reach out when you need to. We got a pup from the same breeder 5 months ago. We did consider the pain of the loss long and hard but the joy and the love they bring is immeasurable.

@Rosebud1302 give yourself time, i had another good cry today as its 6 months since I lost my boy. I got my puppy a couple months after I lost him. I apologise to her a lot because I compare her or talk about him to her on our walks. Maybe it was too soon but I was lonely and she has helped, I also knew the day I collected her I was setting myself up to have my heart broken again one day, but I do know that if I could go back and start over again with my boy I would because he was worth it and so is my little pup.

I had my first dog pts 18 years ago yesterday. I shed a few tears, honouring his beloved life. When my second dog was pts 2.5 years ago, someone sent me a quotation: "I loved you all of your life; I shall miss you all of mine."

They are never replaced, but you can have another dog (or 2, as I have) and know you will have the same pain all over again, and not regret it.

We lost our beloved boy just over two weeks ago so my heart goes out to you. I just miss him so much. I WFH and he was my little buddy, keeping me company when everyone else was out at work/college. Now I have 11 hours of silence every day and it's agony. He's the fourth dog I've had to say goodbye to and it's been awful every time, but this is the worst. Thinking of you 😥
