Oh, for me, when I lost my beloved St. Bernard, it took YEARS (about 3 it seems) that I could say his name without tears in my eyes and my heart breaking all over again. However, it still happens, like now as I write this to you hoping that tomorrow will be a little easier for you. There is no cure, but time does help. On top of everything, I felt I surely couln't talk to someone else about it, they'd think he was only a dog. I have lost many loved ones, but the loss of him was more painful than a lot of humans I truly loved. Hope this doesn't sound harsh and I've neve even said this to anyone before. I know your pain. I feel for you. I hope each day gets a little brighter. |
