Thank You! Sadly, loss of those closest to our hearts is something we all deal with eventually, I’ve endured the loss of pets and family before but this is hitting me harder and I think it’s because of that bond you alluded to, he’s there for me and I’m there for him everyday and getting over that will be the hardest part!
He was a very handsome boy and he was lucky to have you! Thank you again for sharing!
I understand. When I miss my dad a lot I think of something I read that helps me.
I'm so sorry. It's the worst thing about owning a pet. You bond for important years of your life. Just this morning we lost Mitchell, our pet chinchilla. We got him at 6 months old. He was 17 years old. It's always tough.
Thanks so much, it hasn’t even been a week yet but it feels like an eternity! I’m really sorry to hear about your own loss!
Thank you! I’m trying my best!
I was gutted when I lost my cat and companion of 18 years, Puma. He only ever wanted to be in my lap. He didn’t want anyone else in the household. I understand the pain. It hurts less and less over time but there will always be a little hole in my heart that will never be filled again.
This is something I will deeply consider doing, thank you for the suggestion! I’ve just been trying to keep the same routine we had everyday, even make the bed up with the pillows the way he liked them where he would lay in the sun and sleep after his morning window time, it’s kind of cathartic and makes me feel still connected to him. I know it may seem like a little much to some but he gave me reason to wake up and face the day even when I really didn’t want to so I feel like it’s the least I can do to honor him!
It does not seem like a little too much to me. There is no right or wrong way to deal with situations like this. You do what works for you.
