 Stormy
Hello:
I know the pain you are going through and how thoughts of Stormy bring many tears and much misery now. This takes time to work through but it is hard to get over this as everything you do seems connected to the passed pet somehow. I could not walk down the street where I walked my furbabe, or go to a hotel or park that she had come to with me without the tears. But the pain does lessen and the tears are more sweet and gentle with time. When I had the strength I collected photos, collars, her tag etc and mounted them in a frame. It is a great comfort to have all these things that remind me of the good times with her, and the memories help me think of her in a nice way.
After several months I feel I can get another pet and give her the love I gave to my dear one that is here no more. But this took time to accept another pet into my empty heart.
So remember the great and loving times you had with Stormy. He is frolicking over the Rainbow Bridge and happy and at peace.
Sincere condolences and take heart, you will be able to accept what happened and move on when you have worked through the tears and unhappiness. For now, let the sadness come out as it is quite normal and necessary for healing.
Warmly,
One who has been there. |
