Woodrum, Patti, and Cynsir, I'm sorry that all of you lost a dear friend. Those of us who have been through this understand the pain you are feeling right now. Patti's comment about opening your heart to another one is what helped me the most. The new dog would never replace the one you lost, but they can bring some joy back into your life. It has to be when the time is right for you. I have had to say goodbye to many dear fur babies in my 50 plus years. You will never forget them. A time will come when you'll be able to smile at a memory, and not feel the pain you are feeling right now.
Sending "hugs" your way. |
