My dog died

[TheEdamProject]

Utterly out of the blue. She was still so bouncy and full of life on the day she died. Turned out there was an underlying condition that just stole her away from me. She was fine one minute then gone the next.

I’m heartbroken. She was my best friend, we were together every day, nearly all day. She came to work with me, sat next to me on the sofa, slept at my feet. And now she’s just gone.

And I just don’t know how to cope. People seem to think I should be fine now, a few days later but I’m not. So I just say ‘yeah fine’ when they ask. But it hurts so much.

Never again. I can’t do this ever again.

I don’t have any helpful advice but I’m so sorry for your loss. She sounds lovely.

You won’t be fine a few days later. It’s incredibly insensitive for anyone to think that. She was literally your best friend.
There’s no time limit or restrictions.
I would take some comfort from her being happy until the last minute.
Sending hugs 💐

Just ignore those people who expect you to be fine. I still cry for my boy, who i lost at the end of October. He was old and had health conditions, so not a shock, but I still miss him everyday. Grief isn't awful - some days will be easier than others. I couldn't be without my dogs, so you may find you are ready for another canine companion at some point, but no rush. Treasure the memories - it really is a blessing if they are still happy and lively until the end.

I'm so sorry :( of course you won't be fine after a few days, I'm sorry anyone is making you feel that way. It sounds a terrible shock. Please give yourself the time to grieve and don't feel you need to rush it x

Oh God I am so sorry for your loss

Of course you won't be okay after a few days. We lost our cat last year very unexpectedly and I still think of her and have a cry sometimes.

Sorry for your loss op.. We lost ours 4 years ago and I still cry sometimes.. Don't let anyone tell you it was just a ddog..

Im so sorry for your loss. People that expect you to be over it don't understand. She was your best friend, your family. I'm so sorry.

So sorry for your loss Op. they are such special creatures and grieving is very normal . People can be so insensitive.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My dog is my shadow and is by my side 90% of the week. I will be devastated when he's not here so I can only imagine what you're going through.

I'm so very sorry for you. I always think the pain we suffer from, when they leave us is just a reflection of how much we loved them, and them us. Sending hugs X

I'm so sorry OP. It's heartbreaking and it will take time for you to come to terms with it.

Almost a year since I lost mine and I still cry.

Am sorry 💕. I had this 2005,took my 3 dogs for a run, one collapsed. Took her to the vet, she had a splenic tumour which had ruptured. I just couldn't believe it! She was the loveliest dog we ever had.. January 23 had to have our little toy PTS,he was almost 18. All my friends knew him,he had been around for ever! Both were absolutely horrendous. We now have an 8 month old border collie puppy. She's not a replacement, but is gorgeous. I never forget any of my animals, they were all special.
